    Anyone watching the Republican townhall on cnn

    So far I think Carson did well, I don't think he is viable as a candidate but I think he would make a great VP.

    Rubio also did well, with some good points, but he is the party insider.

    Cruz is wrapping up now, two things he said, which probably play well for the older generations but I think are non-starters for the younger conservatives. He is against women being drafted, I am against women in combat but there are plenty of non-combat jobs that need doing, and women should not be excused from that responsibility. The other thing was a comment on the supreme court ruling on gay marriage. Most people my generation just don't care, and I think most with libertarian leanings don't care what consenting adults do.

    Edit to add: Cruz is now taking it to Rubio pretty good about his voting and legislative history.

    What does "consenting" mean. Word have meanings as do commas when it comes to the 2nd.
    While no one ever listens to me,
    I am constantly being told to be quiet.

    In a world of snowflakes,
    be the heat..
