That WAS a great line!

I don’t think any of the others had even remotely as good a line, you are right on that one. The WORST was Jeb, did you see his closing statement? The guy forgot his lines or something, even the most simple words were fumbled and he looked like he was even going to have a slight panic attack realizing he was about to go dead in the middle of his line.

One thing for sure - Bush didn’t have ANY great line. He sounded like someone who DESERVINGLY just sat on a whoopie cusion and runs to mommy “they were mean to me! They INSULTED ME mommy!”

The story of Jeb Bush on stage is the opening segment of a documentary entitled:

How to Calm a Crying Baby?

“Here we have a crying baby. Someone took his lollypop from him in an insult to his little cheeks. Just see him cry!”

“... so how to stop him from crying? First, you have to pick him up!...”

“BUT REMEMBER! - you have to support the baby’s head before you pick him up! ...”

“... because his neck is weak and his head is wobbly, so careful!”

I think, in regards to Chris Christie.... the real tone of his “great lines” can be summarized as follows:

He could be a legendary bartender.

But not President.

Not “great lines”. But give me a martini.

You cannot be a surgeon if your hands are too big. Carson has great hands. And think about it. All great Presidents had great hands. So Carson would be a Great President. But it isn’t to be. But Great Hands. But no great lines. Sorry.

Not to mention the look on Yeb's face, kind of a brain-dead look.

"Beeeeeeeeeeeeee..."

Pardon...

Answer: everybody who was listening to Ted Cruz as he spoke.

So what? It makes no difference who said it before. Ted Cruz is the one who said it tonight.

Sorry, but you are grossly overthinking this thing.

Israel does that.

Bulldoze and deport, citizen or not...

If there’s a likelihood they remained silent knowing there was about to be a crime committed, I don’t have much sympathy.

This guy’s mom saw the pipe bombs and other things.

There was no excuse for her not notifying authorities.

No, but YOU are.

And I have very grave doubts that that line even meant anything to most people who watched or listened to the debate. So he quoted someone whom the vast majority of people never heard of and no way do they know that he was a GOPer! Hell, many younger people haven't even ever heard of FDR !

Then it seems to me you try her as an accessory or some such. She knew.

There is something really strange going on in this investigation.

Those reporters getting access to that apartment. The mom not being arrested. Something is very strange here.

Yes, there IS something extremely stinking about this whole thing !

It's almost as though our government is bringing in terrorists to kill off Americans.

I got a chuckle when Cruz said he’d build a wall and use Trump’s money.

Right now I wouldn’t go that route.

Who knows. Later on I might.

Yeah, it's almost like someone is blocking investigations of muslims across the board or something.

Whistleblower: My intel might have stopped San Bernardino

A year into the investigation, the State Department and the DHS Civil Rights Division told Haney that tracking these groups and individuals was problematic because they were Islamic groups. Haney reports that internal memos forbade him from developing any cases based on this profile.

His investigation was shut down, and many of his records were deleted, including evidence about a suspicious group as well as specific individuals tied to the mosque in Riverside, California, that Farook attended.

You know what, that’s a criminal action IMO.

That should be actionable.

Best line of the night was Trump mentioning something George W. Bush did which was disgraceful: allowing planes to evacuate the Bin Laden family, Ibn Saud family and other wealthy Saudis from the nation after 9/11...while all other air travel was grounded. How many MATERIAL WITNESSES did bush remove from the scene by doing so, and why didn't the FBI stop it?

Jeb was PISSED when Donald brought it up. But he was right...we have to go after the families of these jihadists, because all too often they are in on it.

"FDR was also a GOPer ( far less staunch ), until he decided to run for office, at which time, he went DEM, to differentiate himself from his cousin Teddy."

No.

Please don't re-write History.

While President, Teddy Roosevelt stepped in to give away the bride to FDR at his wedding (her father had just been killed).

FDR then campaigned *against* President Teddy Roosevelt.

FDR still lived with his momma even after he got married. He was a pajamas boy long before today's Millennials ever saw red+black plaid and cups of coffee.

That is 100% true, as far as it went. But his family had been GOPers for a long time and he went against the grain as an adult.

I would use the reserve quote. All democrats ARE horse thieves but not all horse thieves are democrats.

Ted Cruz is really the smartest man among the GOP and the Democratic Party candidates running for president right now. He has lightning quick reflexes and a razor sharp mind.
