Mercifully this is the last time we will see these people debate each other….the primaries start in under 3 weeks and then it will be Katey bar the door…..
We Americans like our winners so who won this debate……(pause here for reflection)……oh let’s be real…..who f*cking cares?
What I did like was the back and forth with Cruz and Trump and then Christie and Rubio had to try and look like they we part of the conversation and Carson was….well Carson……
Only think that kept me awake was the taglines that candidates used to get the traction they need……
- Ted Cruz: “Since September the constitution hasn’t changed, but the poll numbers have. I recognize that Donald is dismayed that his poll numbers are falling … but the facts of the law here are clear.” (On his eligibility to be president.) Cruz also said, “Well, Maria, thank you for passing on that hit piece on the front page of the New York Times,” when asked about this loan story. “You know the nice thing about the mainstream media, they don’t hide their views.”
- Donald Trump: “We rebuilt downtown Manhattan … everybody in the world loved New York and loved New Yorkers. And I have to tell you, that was a very insulting statement Ted made.” After Cruz slammed “New York values” and said, “Not a lot of conservatives come out of Manhattan.”
- Jeb Bush: “If she gets elected, her first 100 days, instead of setting an agenda, she might be going back and forth between the White House and the courthouse. We need to stop that.” Referring to Hillary Clinton.
- Chris Christie: “You already had your chance, Marco, you blew it.” (After Rubio talked of other things when asked about entitlements.) Rubio responded, “I’ll answer the entitlement question if you’ll answer the Common Core question.” Christie also said, “I watched story time with Barack Obama [at the State of the Union], and I got to tell you, it sounded like everything in the world was going amazing.”
- Marco Rubio: He said any “radical jihadist terrorists” captured alive would get “a one-way ticket to Guantanamo Bay Cuba, and we are going to find out everything they know.”
- Ben Carson: “If my mother were secretary of the Treasury, we would not be in a deficit situation.”
- John Kasich: “So look, in foreign policy—in foreign policy, it’s strength, but you’ve got to be cool. You’ve got to have a clear vision of where you want to go. And I’m going to tell you, that it—I’m going to suggest to you here tonight, that you can’t do on the job training.”
- Rubio vs. Cruz: “I saw you on the Senate floor flip your vote on crop insurance,” Rubio said of Cruz, per Politico. “That is not consistent conservatism.” Cruz responded, “I appreciate you dumping your oppo research folder,” and Rubio said, “No, it’s your record.”
Told you….the debate was about as interesting as watching flies mate……and as usual nothing said had anything to do with the problems of this country or their solutions…..more bullshit from the party of bullshitters….
Re: “oh let’s be real…..who f*cking cares?”
Nobody that I know of.
With all the “popularity” some one does….not sure why….but who am I to question their thinking…LOL
in the last election, over 50 million people voted for Romney…. THAT is how many gullible, waffling voters there are out there…. too many to discount, and more than is acceptable….
The mathematics of genetic demography is clear; the human race is getting dumber all the time, and now, there are more of those without the ability to think, at all, than there are those who can read…. Way, way too many of them are eligible to vote….
SIGH….

Playing on the person as always. I hope you don`t mind but this time they are in no way the cream of the crop! These GOP`s are scary! They have really no idea what is going on in the world. Neither do they have the diploatic skills to deal with foreign policy.
I agree with you….it is all talking points to influence the gullible…chuq
I share your thoughts on this debate … any substance, any concrete proposal of how to solve the problems of the country, was completely and totally lacking. Yes, they all have a tax plan, but what problem are those tax plans actually solving. I know this … while Carson claims the WSJ says his tax plan is “the best,” the WSJ article I found on his tax plan doesn’t actually say that … it says it’s the boldest. And I also know this Carson’s tax plan would result in my federal tax burden increasing by at least $10,000 — about a 67& increase in my federal taxes. But beyond their tax plans, I don’t remember a lot of discussion about specifics, about substance. Just a lot of hot air, venom, and finger pointing. And all so incredibly negative and bitter.
That shows me what the general will be like….no substance just more of the same….chuq
