FNC GOP Debate update: Megyn Kelly (FNC) makes candidates defend their past positions on amnesty
me watching debate | 1/28/2016 | SOL

Posted on 01/28/2016 7:52:17 PM PST by sickoflibs

Best debate so far

Kelly asked Rubio to defend his getting elected to Senate by opposing amnesty, then working with Senate Dems to pass their Obama amnesty bill.

She even asked Cruz to defend his trying to amend the same Senate bill on citizenship without specifically calling for it to oppose all legalization of illegals. These FNC questions are tough.

Cruz asked to defend his opposition to ethanol.

So far none of them have walked off the stage in protest.

Trump made a good decision to no-show, since he says that him being questioned on his past statements is being biased against him, and because his own past flip flops on amnesty would have really made it tough for him there at that debate.

I can't wait to see the ratings

Actually, it was a great debate ...

perhaps not the best in the series, but excellent in terms of concrete discussions between the candidates (even if you didn't agree with them).


The immigration discussion between Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio was FANTASTIC ... and Fox did everyone a favor by showing past video statements of each ...

In the end, Ted Cruz emphasized that Jeff Sessions credited Cruz with leading the fight to DEFEAT Marco Rubio's "Gang of Eight" bill ...

Interestingly, Jeb Bush sided 100-percent with Marco Rubio.

RE:”;He hates being asked about all his past positions.”
.....
On the other hand, Cruz hates being asked about all his past VOTES!!!!”

But he was there.

He had the guts to show up and answer to them.
That shows leadership, guts and class.

Megyn’s eyes looked all weird, right one looked stoned, pigeons are roosting in her hair as well.

Cruz showed up for a debate.

Tonight Donald Trump showed leadership, guts and class.

Try and catch a reply of Trump's event and you'll understand what I mean.

Doesn't that violate the spirit of the Trump boycott of this debate?

Ha...you've got a point there. I'm a Trump supporter, but I also think very highly of Cruz. I hope he did well in that last debate.

A thoroughly boring debate.

Yeah, I suppose if you were looking for some crass insults, I can see how you might think it boring.

Trump’s 2010 book “Time to Get Tough” contains 80% of the immigration proposal he put out last year, including a wall, mass deportations and national mandatory E-Verify. All these “he changed his mind XX times” claims are based on quips or tweets, not changes in policy position. And remember...he is a private citizen, not a policy maker. He is allowed much more leeway than a Senator who actually proposes legislation and amendments.

Agreed. I only turned to it after watching Donald Trump very humbly conduct a sweet tribute to American vets. When I did turn to the debate, it was disturbing to see and feel the “clubbiness” and smugness of these people who have successfully excluded someone they feel does not “belong” to their exclusive club. It was annoying. The moderators were without talent, and the candidates are too. Jeb thinks with Trump out he has it sewn up. Sick of party politics.

Bush-Rubio is the Rove ticket. Everyone knows that. They are the GOPe party picks, being foisted upon an unwilling electorate.

I don’t like Cruz anymore but I just heard Megyn showed a film and that’s terrifying. Is it the moderator’s job to prosecute? I swear, they should stop all debates until they can get a moderator who just asks questions.

You could tell she had gotten stomped on by the higher-ups, too.
