NBC News Presents the 4th Democratic Presidential Debate of 2016

Here is the 4th Democratic Presidential Debate of 2016 hosted by NBC News and YouTube and moderated by NBC News' Lester Holt and Andrea Mitchell.  This is the last Democratic Debate before the Iowa Caucus on February 1, 2016.  Featured in this debate was Hillary Clinton, Martin O'Malley and Bernie Sanders.

I felt overall the debate went very well.  The candidates had similar goals and discussion points, but they also had a few differences in issues amongst themselves.  The moderators did well, but I was not please (like with previous debates) how they kept time from Governor Martin O'Malley.  I am not saying that I would have voted for him, but I feel he should have had as much attention and time as Clinton and Sanders.  At the end, I felt Lester Holt made a crappy move towards O'Malley, but oh well.

Like I said before it was a well done debate and I look forward to see how they do in Iowa and New Hampshire.

The Republicans have a debate scheduled for Thursday, January 28th at 8pm CT.  I am sure there will be 2 again.  It's hosted by Fox News Channel.  The moderaters will be Bret Baier, Megyn Kelly and Chris Wallace.  This will be their last debate before the Iowa Caucus.

Fox Business Presents The 6th Republican Presidential Debate

The 6th Republican Presidential Debate hosted by Fox Business.  

The Under card Republican Presidential Debate featured those who polled under 5%.  They include Carly Forina, Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum.  Ron Paul was also to be part of this, but he bowed out because he was pushed from the primetime debate and decided to just keep campaining.  

Forina starts out with a nice stab at Clinton and Trump and had a good opening statement.  Huckabee does a story of a struggling worker showing his version of how the economy has not improved.  Santorum, like Huckabee, also jabs at Obama's SOTU.  He only give tributes to South Carolinians job growth and states the decline of jobs in the U.S.A. to overseas.

Questions categories were Foreign Policy, National Security, Gun Control, Visa System, The Economy and more.  

The Moderators were Trish Regan and Sandra Smith.

As for the Primetime Republican Presidential Debate, it was a fairly verbal debate with the highlight being Trump and Cruz going at it, which makes sense since they are the top two in the polls.  The biggest issue was Cruz eligibility for the Presidency.  He was born in Canada.

Enjoy the debate with contenders, Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, John Kascih, Marco Rubio and Donald Trump

Moderators were Maria Bartiromo and Neil Cavuto

State Of The Union 2016

Watched the President Barack Obama's final State of the Union Address (SOTU).  It was good.  He actually did the address the way I felt it should be done.  Updating everyone oh now the country has done over the seven years and proposed ideas for the future.  He didn't just state future idea for his final year, but the next five years.



I have saved snap shots of the address: SOTU '16 Photos @ Becauseimwil

If you haven't seen the address or if you want to see it again, click the video below.




Here is an enhanced version of the address with stats posted.  Very impressive.




Here is South Carolina's Governor, Nikki Haley with the Republican Response to SOTU.




Also have a nice, funny treat from Jimmy Kimmel showing how some people will act like they know and understand what is going on.





Oh and I almost missed the Tea Party Response from some one I am not sure whom anyone heard of.  His name is Wayne Allyn Root.  *shrug*  He now serves as the opening act to Donald Trump rallys.

Enjoy.......

Gindal, Graham And Pataki Out!

So three more Republican presidential candidates are out of the race for the Republican Presidential Nomination.  Bobby Gindal, Lindsay Graham and George Pataki.  I will admit the only one I am a bit bummed out about is Lindsay Graham.  I know that he is a bit too passionate, but he is for real.  Also I felt he would have been a great president for foreign policy.

Oh well.  Eleven Candidates remain.  Will any more bounce out before the Iowa Caucus?  Very curious to find out.

Here are the upcoming major political events for January 2016:

Tuesday, January 12 - Presidential State of the Union Address @ 8pm

Thursday, January 14th - Fox Business Republican Debate (Undercard @ 5pm CT, Primetime @ 8pm CT) in North Charleston, South Carolina

Sunday, January 17th - NBC News Democratic Debate @ 8pm CT in Charleston, South Carolina
