Wish there was an ignore button on Fr.
Oh how cute. You are a Democratic Underground type. Interesting. Well glad you have your wish over there. I have to read your dribble too which is about as interesting as watching paint dry. Perhaps you are better equipped for DU. You are a big liberal anyway. Have a great night though.
Declared Rubio the winner, Carly 2nd.
The serious one is Trump for fighting the FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION of our country.
Legalizing the illegals in one way or the other, is on the agenda of every other candidate up there.
Night all...
I can’t remember but did that irritating goober Kasich tell us all Daddy was a mailman tonight?
15 seconds into his first speaking time.
Agreed
The Fox Business talking heads are crowning Rubio as the most substantive candidate. LOL, sure.
Rubio is so bad on immigration, he has no chance in the long run.
That Stirewald is the consummate Megyn Kelly butt-kisser and that alone makes him an idiot.
Well I know that’s what Cruz meant but he ended up arguing with Kasich over a completely erroneous point.
The questioner was the first to equate letting a bank collapse with ruining its customers. This isn’t the case because depositors are protected by FDIC. Cruz didn’t disagree with this faulty premise.
Then Kasich jumped in defending the idea of bailing out a bank because “you have to protect the customersâ€, the same mistake that the questioner and Cruz had both made.
None of them knew what they were talking about.
Fair enough. I think the candidates pre-load their points so much before these things that they often grab the subject line vs the specifics.
Carson is muddling through this now with Cavuto one on one.
I don’t think anybody had any TIME except for Kasich.
He will not be allowed to keep his belt much longer.
Trump handled the questions and was speaking about things most of America has a slow read of.
The best performers were Cruz and Rubio but YEB! did a good job of keeping Rubio on his team.
Cruz won the debate.
Trump took charge. He looks stronger than the rest of the field.
In public speaking, a strong finish is paramount, so I think Trump did well—especially his self-funding website comment—he wants to do something different. I want something different. “Reaganesque?” Perhaps a little. Strong close was very appealing.
Hi, CottonBall - Did your thread about coming up with a debate with a mostly conservative panel (and, I would add, a mostly conservative audience!!!) ever get any traction? Somehow, it sure needs to happen!
(I’ve been very busy with more family problems (my Mom got scammed badly) so unable to spend a lot of time here.)
I thought he started poorly with a HORRIBLE answer on the min wage... then, he was very snarky a couple of time, looked petty..
He ended strongly.. the last answer he gave was good, and closing statement was good. But, he had a number of very weak responses early in the evening.
Once again, Yaelle, I am thankful that I’m not drinking anything right now because you would owe me a monitor!
TRUMP is kicking butt on DRUDGE! Even number two is being beaten easily 2 to 1 by the FRONTRUNNER, Trump.
1000 times over....
But remember they had to avoid him most of the night in order to push their backup GOPe guy rehearsed Rubio.
Fox News pushing the Too Big to fail nonsense.
And what Cavuto is implying that everyone who banks with the Bank of America would lose their money is TOTAL B.S.
Agree!
cruz did back him up. (I’m a Trump-head, too)
Marco is like a wind up toy that spits out these 30 sec memorized riffs. Lightweight.
