Activate the home stereo! ...Ooh, CNN broadcasts in 5.1 now? Neat.
It's legitimately interesting to listen for small crowd reactions and hot mic mumbling that you can't really hear on the main mix.
The primaries weren't in 2012 but the official national debates were. As engaging as 5.1 for gaming, I swear!

I said this last time as well, but I really wish everyone got a WWE-style intro with theme music and video package. It would be a better representation of the atmosphere.

Refresh my memory. Was that when Romney said we have insultingly fewer battleships now as compared to a century ago, and Obama responded saying that of course we do, we haven't been engaged in war?

We're not playing Battleship.

You mentioned the Navy, for example, and that we have fewer ships than we did in 1916. Well, Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets, because the nature of our military’s changed. We have these things called aircraft carriers, where planes land on them. We have these ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines.
 
smh at these anti-american republicans saying we need to make america great again: as if it isn't already great!! can't believe how anti-american these anti-americans who are against america are being!!

there's something special about using reactionary rhetoric vs reactionaries
 
And we now see the problem with the media. They're treating this like the super bowl, instead of a method for us to pick our next president.
 
So who is going to throw out the first mud sling against Trump? My money is on Paul, he's itching for a fight.

I would say they really really really need to avoid an off message attack against Trump. The Donald lives and breathes the off the cuff remarks. Most of these candidates use teleprompters during their speeches, he usually doesn't. If you come at him and try to get some zingers so you can gain a teeny tiny bump in the polls, you'll end up getting roasted.

Trump isn't strong on actual policy knowledge. Now being Professor Foreign Policy isn't going to win a general election, but someone that knows their stuff will make him look like a clown. His strength is his weakness. He doesn't prepare much and doesn't seem to care about learning about these things until he is actually President. Sooner or later he'll get a complex policy question that he can't worm out of. That's where these other guys can gain ground.

I think Fiorina and Carson come out of this the best. Establishment is going to end up backing them
