(Excerpt) Read more at drudgereport.com ...
I find it interesting that when cbs goes to break each time they show snippets of trump and rubio. Each time. Also they had a text box with the details of rubio’s immigration plan while he spoke. They haven’t done that for anyone else.
Dry and looking into another useful caliber, along with everything that entails.
I’m just happy I’ve lived a good life to this point. I’m ready, willing, and able to face whatever comes next.
I simply hope my sacrifice(s) are useful. That would make me happy, but it is not essential.
To paraphrase John McEnroe, you can’t be serious. How can you (the general you as opposed to just you) vote on something that’s less than half over? Well, we can see who voted & it’s not just because they found the site...
I just voted. This debate was becoming s waste of my time. Saw enough. 1HR and 10 minutes. Can’t stand it now.
I have not watched these things they call debates.
A debate is you an I discussing various topics where we have a disagreement. I present my point of view, you present yours. Then I have time to rebut your assertions and you have time to rebut mine.
These are not debates, they are deliberate assassination attempts by the drive-by mediots. Many of whom are not even smart enough to tie their own shoes.
A debate is where everyone gets five minutes to make his case. The debate is limited to only statements made in the opening remarks. You will each have five minutes, to address any one or all of the candidates. Each candidate will have two minutes to respond. Any and all rebuttals must be made extemporaneously. There will be no notes, cue cards or any other memory devices. You will be respectful, and not interrupt. If you interrupt, you will be docked time at the end in your closing statement. You will have five minutes to make a closing statement minus any time you are docked. The first offense will be a one minute reduction, two minutes for the second, and you will have no closing on the third since all docked time is cumulative.
That would be a debate.
I’m keeping mine dry. The audience support for Jeb drove me to flip TV channels. Just don’t need this gotcha junk. They don’t let real people in just stack each debate with Jeb’s campaign staff, donors and lobbyists.
The fact that I have to explain tells me all that I need to know.
Carson gave an excellent answer. Then the moderator threw Cruz a softball which Cruz should have hit out of the park.
Cruz did not hit a home run by describing what he successfully did at the FTC. He repeated a memorized spiel about his father coming from Cuba.
Cruz is supposed to be a great debater. But he blew it as a debater. Im a Cruz supporter and scratching my head.
I’m afraid then that’s it’s the first thing that you’ve ever known...maybe you still don’t know anything.
What fact did Trump get wrong?
George Bush WAS President when we were attacked.
Trump has his finger on the average American. He’s going to schlonge Hillary, keep the Senate, and pick up House seats. Planned Parenthood will be defunded and the money will go to another org that won’t provide abortion. He’s not a purist, but he will push the conservative agenda further than Reagan or Bush ever could.
The only adults on the stage were Carson and Kasich, with John only showing a wee bit....that's it for this household...no more debates Period!!! The candidates would do well to say the same!!!
Wow.
And planned parenthood does great things right?
Other than that he did well.
Kasich and Carson shouldn't have been invited.
Rubio was okay, good on the attack.
Jeb was great at beating up on Donald, I was surprised. No way I'd ever vote for him.
I voted for Trump without seeing the debate.
His head could spin and vomit, but it no longer matters.
I have hit overload. Let the Trump Hillary bitch slapping begin.
Ya ok.
“Trump stepped on a land mine. I didn’t think I’d see him look nearly as bad as he did when he blamed W for 911.”
How so? He has maintained that for months. W was president, reading a book to some elementary kids in Florida, when it happened.
Pole? Or poll? And we just learned something didn’t we?
“Wow.
And planned parenthood does great things right?”
Wow for sure. I don’t know how that can be explained away, but some will try, I imagine.
