Trump’s problem is that he has no specific plans for anything.
Too funny. Rubes got schooled. Trump’s leads grows. Thank you Rubes.
Cruz and Rubio completely melt down. Cruz thinks he’s the moderator. Rubio sounds like the little boy who hasn’t been called on for 10 minutes.
Pathetic losers.
He mentioned Concierge health care, aka "Direct Primary Care" http://www.dpcare.org/
Mr Pig in a poke.
Darn right he is. Cruz is a like a little yapping poodle.
“Rubio is acting like trump. Now you know how everyone else sees trump. But as trump said he can murder someone and his dumb supporters will still vote for him.”
No, Rubio is acting more like you than Trump.
I love a good game of whack-a-trump
Blitzer can hardly keep control of this farcical debate. Is it almost over yet???
Agree.
People who didn’t vote supporter Obama with their silence.
Screw then. That’s unAmerican and traitorous.
Stockdale notably opened the debate by saying, “Who am I? Why am I here?”, when responding to a request for an opening statement from debate moderator, Hal Bruno, the political director of ABC News. Bruno had asked Stockdale, “Admiral Stockdale, your opening statement, please, sir?”, leading to the now famous response. Initially, the rhetorical questions drew applause from the audience, seeming to be a good-natured acknowledgment of his relatively unknown status and lack of traditional qualifications.
However, his unfocused style for the rest of the debate (including asking the moderator to repeat one question because he didn’t have his hearing aid turned on) made him appear confused and almost disoriented. An unflattering recreation of the moment on Saturday Night Live later that week, with Phil Hartman as Stockdale, cemented a public perception of Stockdale as slow-witted. He was also often parodied for his repeated use of the term “gridlock” to describe slow governmental policy.
Rubio and Ted have gone too far with their attacks now. They are sounding like idiots.
This isn’t going to work.
Trump is doing his same points that got him where he is. They are just yapping at him...and not promoting themselves. Bad plan.
LOL!
He is humiliating Trump but never said what his plan would be that is different than Trump’s. Oldest politician trick in the book.
Wolf running a little interference there for Trump? He ended the healthcare question while three were still talking.
Just putting a ‘wall fee’ on Western Union transactions for money sent out of the country could build a few hundred miles or so.
“Trump has never given any meaningful answers in debates.
He doesn’t like the competition. He prefers holding big prayer meetings for his worshippers. Do I hear an Amen?”
Amen! :)
um, they were probably in diapers or not even born yet.
