The McLaughlin Group (08/08)

FULL EPISODE

My time linked comments:

Why I believe Carly Fiorina, Scott Walker and Marco Rubio won the first debate

Why Chris Christie was correct to defend the NSA - and why NSA collection must continue

Slightly skewering Ben Franklin's ''essential liberty'' quote

Chris Christie will win primary voters on national security grounds

Why moderators had to shake up Trump + why he's ill-suited to nuclear command authority

Noting my housemates opinion of Trump!

Why I welcome Chris Christie's comments on entitlements (with a little teasing of panel!)

Responding to Pat's question as to whether I want to cut Dr. M's social security!

Scott Walker's popularity with conservative base + why GOP has opportunity with millennials

Rand Paul, Lindsey Graham and Bobby Jindal lost ground in the debates

GOP is changing - difference in audience reaction to gay soldier in 2012 + Kasich remarks

Predicting Rubio will be nominee

Jeb Bush showed courage talking about common core education reform

Rubio-Fiorina ticket is likely

If Rubio and Fiorina rise in polls it will suggest GOP primary voters want change
