Derek 2.0

It all comes back to the primaries.......I would hedge that if he doesn't win Iowa, his numbers will tank......he might be polling at ~40%, but all that means is that ~60% of the GOP don't support him.......One of the network talking heads made a good point the other night, if everyone other than Trump/Rubio/Bush/Cruz/Christie drops out, the State by State races will look quite different.........four years ago, Gingrich was polling at 37% over Romney.......

Without a doubt he is a performer on stage, but does lack substance..........that will be a choice for primary voters.

Interesting point Trump brought up in the post debate scrum, he's polling well with Clinton right now, but hasn't even started going after her yet........he might not need to play second fiddle......I think the first four primaries (Iowa/NH/SC/Nev) will let us know if Trump's the real deal.

True. A good sign for the GOP.......no Perot down the middle putting a Clinton into the big chair.... Never thought of that one......there's been far worse VPs.

I don't agree with that, but he sure could use a toastmasters tuning........the folksy charm worked well for his brother, not so much for Jeb.

Indeed, the member is getting quite defensive over the new Liberal Government the he/she supported, namely in regards to the defense file........its telling when said member launches into personal barbs at other members. As I said, this Government will not procure a Hornet replacement inside this mandate........what are your thoughts? Yah or nay?

Super Hornets........so how does that equate to Growlers going to the Blue Angels? You can retract your false claim (or not), but I'm going to ignore you now, as you've now called into question, and not supported by fact, my honesty several times.

Thanks for confirming my point.........Irving doesn't build maritime gas turbines, sonars, radars, weapons etc.........who knew?

Source?

Quote?

The Angels didn't even want them is the funny part

Where did I suggest the Growlers were going to the Blue Angels? And you called me dishonest........

You're suggesting some single "expert" will decide the outcome of the RCN? Who is said expert? Will their be a confirmation process? Will there be a vote in the House?

No, you have to deduce how said expert will resolve said problem.

So it seems........and to think, it looked like they were going to get sacked several years ago.....glad to see the public outrage saved them (and the Thunderbirds)

Were did I do that?

Oh it would never happen of course

Is said "expert" well versed in magic?

No, it doesn't, but then its the CBC.....it also doesn't breakdown the cost of the systems integration.............Irving doesn't build engines, radars, missiles, training simulators etc,

That I did, but then the Blue Angels apparently need a larger and heavier aircraft

I never said they did.

I know, and the (and integration of) purchase of radars, sonars, ECM, engines etc.......which aren't produced by Irving

That's just it, there is a constant drumbeat of production......to capacity, with a hypothetical Canadian order, it wouldn't need to be increased, just not slowed, as has been done in the sequestration environment.........and cash upfront

As I already noted in this thread, the Australian example was one not to replicate.

No, $14 billion for the design and build of the vessels........Irving doesn't build radars, munitions, electronics etc.....
