'It's intellectual combat': At least 2 candidates are planning to rip into Donald Trump
The Business Insider ^ | 9/16 | Colin Campbell

Real-estate mogul Donald Trump has a target on his back at the big CNN presidential debate Wednesday night.

At least two of his rivals appear eager to take Republican the front-runner down a notch: former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky).

With tens of millions of potential viewers, the debates are crucial opportunities to stand out from the crowded pack of 16 Republican candidates.

And Paul, in particular, seems especially hungry to rip into Trump to boost his sputtering campaign.

"I think he deserves both barrels," Paul told the The Daily Caller. "I want to make sure everyone in the whole country knows he's a fake conservative."

I would prefer to see them “rip into” the Progressives.

I predict Jeb, especially Jeb, will make himself look like a frothing dog fool.

If Rand Paul and Jeb Bush do this, Rand risks looking like an ally of Jeb. Brilliant strategy.....go for it, Rand!

Yawn.......zzzzzzzzzzzz.

Is that the Rand who supports Mitch or the son of Ron "tin foil hat" Paul????

JEB is going after Trump......in Spanish?

I think I'll wash my undies, shampoo my hair, then redo my nail polish.

Probably have some shoes that need polishing, then it's early to bed!

Oh FFS, they will have a minute for answers and 30 seconds for rebuttal. That’s not intellectual combat, that’s a school-yard hissy fit.

No doubt Jeb, Rand and iCarly will be watching each other to tag-team.

The GOP Establishment is an embarrassing, back-stabbing beast.

But then, we all already knew that.

This debate is starting to sound like it will be a two on one tag-team wrestling match.

.

Let’s see ... I suppose that Donald Trump (who’s built a 10 billion dollar financial empire) ...

will be “childishly unable” to defend himself against Yeb Bush and Mitch MConnel’s “boy” in the US Senate.

Actually ... Trump relishes the opportunity to appear classy (I really like so-and-so) ... and then kick them in the ass.

Tonight is Yeb Bush’s “political waterloo” ... no doubt about that ... and he ain’t Wellington.

Fat boy and Rand need to get out. Nobody wants them. They are nothing but little ankle biters who are not going to win any election.

Go away idiots. We do not like you. Your poll numbers tell it all.

Here’s a really strange idea; how about stop telling the voters that their whacked out idiots, and maybe start taking positions and campaigning for things that voters actually care about.

Oh, no, instead, the powers that be have instead decided that they must ‘expose’ how ‘awful’ Trump is.

I don’t agree with all of Ted Cruz’s positions, but at least HE campaigns on those positions and while will contrast his positions to others, he doesn’t resort to random attacks.

Wow! Those two intellectual giants Jebbi and Randy are going after The Donald!
This should be interesting....
Those two, in concert, couldn't take down a raving lunatic under strong sedation by even half a notch

Paul nut tried it last time to Trump. Going to lose again in the 2nd round.

Paul nut like some others don’t care since his and there campaigns are in the toilet. So they will do what the GOP-E wishes.
