” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)96%,”
What does that % mean?
Another opportunity for Trump to ask Randy why in hell is he on that stage
Why have the split 10/4? They should have it 7/7.
Why did I not even get considered?
%? the # of questions they’ll be personally asked?
I believe the percentages are their conservative voting record.
Exactly. 7/7 gives more opportunities for the ‘senior deck’ to answer questions. 10/4 is just a joke.
LOL. He'll probably look at Rand and say 'Why the hell are you still here?'
Too many...but since Cruz has been close to low man, they didn’t have any choice.
Conservative Review rating. How often he takes a conservative position and votes that way.
All three of these candidates should be on the undercard and not taking time away from the serious contenders. Carly is only about 1 or 2 percentage points from being in that catagory.
Just hoping that after this “debate” (more like a cattle call), at least the bottom 4 will quit! Although, we almost never hear from any of them ( as well as the bottom four that are behind door #1), so maybe on second thought, it’s good that they remain and use up money that might have been redirected to ¿YEB?.
Harwood? is that serious?
This is going to be another attack trump debate.
Fiorina can be replaced with a Disney animatronic with a audio loop.
Paul with a video from the 60’s
Carson with a bottle of sleeping pills and a white flag.
Bush with a simple sign that says “Resistance is Futile”
Rubio with a sign that says “Miss Runner up in case Miss Establishment is unable to knock out trump”
All the questions to trump can be “Mr. Trump, why are you evil?”
Hey, wadda ‘bout my guy, fast jimmy gilcrest, one time NFL running back, ex-gubbernator of Ontario {or maybe Quebec} passed through Virginia on his way to Hilton Head?? I donated good money {not to his campaign}. I could have, but I ran out of Scotch and sobered up just in the nick of time.
Half these people should not even be in the debate, they have no chance at the nomination.
With only 3 months left before the primaries begin it is time to cut the field, the public wants to focus on the people who have a chance to win the nomination.
Sorry guys you had time to make the cut and didn’t
LOL
