I would suggest that CNBC get out of the debate business!!! This Obamabot lovefest media got their heads handed to them by the entire group of Republican candidates....a “spanking” they will not soon forget!!! I have prayed to God, Almighty for many years for some Republican, any Republican, to come back, in strong fashion, with this low life Obama/Clinton vermin!!! They got a just beating tonight!!! Thank you, Lord!!!

As for the debate, Trump won it, running away, Cruz was a strong second & Rubio wa a strong third!!! Th GOP ticket will be Trump (POTUS) & Cruz (VP). Jeb Bush is pure toast.....and Carson has had his fifteen minute of Fame!!!

“Did Trump mention the Constitution tonight? Did he mention how HIS plans include the Constitution process? Did he mention how a Constitutional government should work?”

His lawyers didn’t write it so he hasn’t read it. :o)

[Lucky9teen]

Me too. Love me some Jensen Ackles.

Stick to your Friday Fun Time.

You don’t have to worry about which “Repubs” you like.

I know there are no jobs. I just explained why. Obama has assured us there will be no jobs. So what is your question?

I simply said we are going to have IMMIGRATION, so make it professionals. It’s truth. It’s going to exist.

Nothing happens or improves until Obama is out. Get it?

Couple points:
One more question, You state we are going to have immigration. Why? The H-1B Visa issue is entirely different from people crossing the border....why are we going to have immigration? Why do we have to have foreign workers come here and take slots at American tax-payer funded state universities? Why do we have to hire foreign workers for US jobs?

Also, you seem to think this is an Obama problem. It certainly has been exacerbated with the weak economy, but it started years ago.

Jeb Bush, one sick establishment SOB!(Son of Bush)

[MNJohnnie]

Jeb Bush

“Don’t vote for me.”

Wasn't planning too Jeb.

[Cold Heat]

Well, that is my standard reply to a comment that I don’t understand the basis for.

And I don’t have any people...

[sickoflibs]

Jeb repeated his Tortoise And Hare strategy :

Jeb says that he is the turtle and Trump is the Hare.

That Trump will run out of energy and he (Jeb) will slowly inch over the finish line first while the others are resting.

Jeb says he is moving so slow to give Trump (and others) overconfidence.

Jeb is waiting for the right time to change from Clark Kent to Superman.

Its coming. Jeb will open eyes when he takes off.

[Jane Long]

Great post!! Agree...MSM got spanked...Trump (POTUS) won...Cruz (VP) advanced, greatly....Jebbers gone....Carson still snoozing.

Interesting

Whatever a super pac does, in support or in opposition to any candidate, is a independent decision and will not involve a candidate, unless the candidate or PAC has violated the law. if they have, they are so closely monitored that it won't be long before it's in the news cycle.

What's Santa Claus bring you this year? There are so many ways for those illegal communications to take place, directly or indirectly, that I think those who wrote the law and voted on it had their fingers crossed on both hands. Totally unenforceable, and probably intended to be that way.

Reince calling out CNBC is actually a really big deal. CNBC tried to screw our candidates with cheap shots and many stupid questions.

[Amntn]

"Cruz has held his fire so far, but they are not really that close, ideologically."

They may not be that close ideologically but they do compliment each other.

They are each strong in their own way and the two of them together would be unbeatable.

Maybe it’s me but every time I see her face it reminds me of a corpse in a funeral home and all the makeup they put on it, it just look really effed up and gets me nauseous as hell. I think that’s what Trump meant when he bashed her looks, it just looks very unnatural and I suspect it’s from plastic surgery.

Thanks for the thread, what a monster! Feel like I was there, but if I was, I’d have enjoyed throwing my many empty beer bottles at most of the ‘candidates’ just...because the superfluously silly bastards deserved it. ;)

He is not from Washington DC, these lingo is more common with Politician not with regular people.

[Duchess47]

Dean’s the man. :)

[flaglady47]

Cruz’s diatribe against the Lib Moderators tonite was a joy to behold. Made my night. TRUMP/CRUZ 2016!
