Cena_mark - 2014-06-12 He looks to be the next Palin. He somehow got into the national spotlight and clearly doesn't know how to handle this. Hopefully this results in the Republicans just handing the Dems this seat.

He was actually pretty honest and sincere.
"Didn't realize you were going to ask me this stuff....I'm need some time to gather and assess evidence, happy to give you policy answers next time"

Pillager - 2014-06-12 Here's the thing: he can't just run for Grand Executioner of the Social Safety Net. I'm predicting Cain/Palin level gaffes when he steps outside his element...

Oscar Wildcat - 2014-06-13 Chocholate Jesus H Christ! Moral Foundations of Capitalism? That must be a short course, huh? But it follows from that rather odd statement he made w/ respect to the minimum wage "As an economics prof. I know that wages have to track productivity. Unless we have greater productivity, we can't have greater wages". As if the actual historical data he is referencing doesn't entirely back up the position of perhaps doubling or trebling the mininum wage.
What a fraud. But how is he really any different from Cantor? Same old thing, in brand new drag, comes sweeping thru...I guess the season is on.

Cena_mark - 2014-06-12 Then again Reagan was a sociology major who didn't appear to believe in sociology. After all everything from people's financial status to crime rates was all a matter of individual choices to him.

SteamPoweredKleenex - 2014-06-12 Some people learn from their education. Some people do well by regurgitating what they're told are the right answers.
Reagan became an actor, so I'm betting he just parroted back whatever he was told to read without too much analysis.

taking this opportunity to say fuck NBC. the answer to a blatantly partisan right-wing news source isn't a blatantly partisan left-wing news source.

Nominal - 2014-06-13 It isn't picking a side that should bother people so much as FOX news' artform of outright conspiracy fearmonger lying.

SteamPoweredKleenex - 2014-06-13 I don't get your objection. If a candidate is for Policy A, I'd sure as hell hope that they'd be asked hard, challenging questions about Policy A. I loathe softball questions of any kind lobbed at politicos, especially on Fox News.

animegurl1000 - 2014-06-13 I like how asking a politician about his own policies is now considered "hardball questioning."
It's going to get to the point that anything more complicated than "What's your favorite movie?" is going to be too hardball.

He's not honest or sincere, he's a collection of talking points pretending to be a man. "Should there be a minimum wage?" / "I don't have a well-crafted response on that one."
Just a reminder, he's an economics professor, and he doesn't know what he thinks about the minimum wage. And he's running for office, without even planning to be able to answer the question. Ninety percent of us, if stopped by a reporter on the street, could pretty clearly articulate our stance on the minimum wage, but this guy cannot.
This guy reminds me of Andy Harris. Remember him? he's the Maryland rep who got elected in 2010 on an anti-Obamacare platform, who was incensed to learn, upon taking office, that there wasn't a public option he could sign up for.
---
A conservative Maryland physician elected to Congress on an anti-Obamacare platform surprised fellow freshmen at a Monday orientation session by demanding to know why his government-subsidized health care plan from the government takes a month to kick in.
Republican Andy Harris, an anesthesiologist who defeated freshman Democrat Frank Kratovil on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, reacted incredulously when informed that federal law mandated that his government-subsidized health care policy would take effect on Feb. 1 – 28 days after his Jan. 3rd swearing-in.
“He stood up and asked the two ladies who were answering questions why it had to take so long, what he would do without 28 days of health care,” said a congressional staffer who saw the exchange. The benefits session, held behind closed doors, drew about 250 freshman members, staffers and family members to the Capitol Visitors Center auditorium late Monday morning”.
“Harris then asked if he could purchase insurance from the government to cover the gap,” added the aide, who was struck by the similarity to Harris’s request and the public option he denounced as a gateway to socialized medicine.

Come on, Koch Brothers, you can't tell us that this was worth the money. How should this sentence end?

A.) Yacht.

C.) 100 hookers and ten lbs of cocaine.
C.) Dave Brat.

Last one should be a D. Not implying those two C's are equivalent.
