Two debates tonight on CNBC live from the Coors Event Center at the University of Colorado in Boulder.
The 'kids table' started just after 6 p.m. EDT with Sen. Lindsey Graham (SC), Gov. Bobby Jindal (LA), former Gov. George Pataki (NY), and former Sen. Rick Santorum (PA).
The main event at 8 p.m. EDT will feature Donald Trump (NY), Dr. Ben Carson (Fl), Sen. Marco Rubio (FL), former Gov. Jeb Bush (FL), Carly Fiorina (CA), Sen. Ted Cruz (TX), former Gov. Mike Huckabee (AR), Gov. Chris Christie (NJ), Gov. John Kasich (OH), and Sen. Rand Paul (KY).
Moderators for both debates are: John Harwood, Carl Quintanilla, and Becky Quick.
Hey the water was only simmering then. Guess you didn’t mine the Neanderthalian football coach teaching you history?
Fine. We got by. Thank God I was taught history in college. Political Science rocked. But, if you don’t know what is going on today, then I can’t help you, and obviously you don’t sound like you give a large damn, anyway, so, happy camping.
I predict some of the pretenders will be exiting by next week. Cruz changed up his strategy tonight and stopped the nice guy strategy and inserted himself without being obnoxious and desperate like John Kasich. I have to say I like what Cruz did tonight, if he has a couple more debates like that he will be number 1 or 2 in the polls.
Heh...you mean another GW?
Who died? Kasich is weird. What was the girls name that died? There is no doubt is a Closet Dem. He was espousing Dem Talking points tonight. Good Morning Joe had an issue with an intern or someone that died too.
Kasich is a Democrat Mole. Always has been and always will be. He more than exposed himself tonight.
You must listen to a lot of Glenn Beck.:(
No, I mean another Reagan. Someone who can stand their ground and protect America.
I believe Huckabee, Christie, Cruz and Fiorina, all mentioned the Constitution.
And IMO, when speaking of their plan to fix America and lead this nation, you’re damn right the Constitution should come into play with HOW they plan on doing it. There ARE proper channels. And quite frankly, I’m sick and tired of this lassez faire attitude that the Constitution is a side note and not important. THAT is why we are where we are today. Too many take your attitude, and we get politicians that supercede, ignore and trample all over it.
FYI - considering what they’ve spoken about in public, online and other places, I honestly believe Ted Cruz has more of a handle on the threat we face from ISIS and the Islamic Caliphate, than Sir Trump does.
But you hold on to that delusion.
Oh and to the comments about the Constitution:
CRUZ: I’m too agreeable, easy going.
(LAUGHTER)
You know, I think my biggest weakness is exactly the opposite. I’m a fighter. I am passionate about what I believe. I’ve been passionate my whole life about the Constitution. And, you know, for six-and-a-half years, we’ve had a gigantic party. If you want someone to grab a beer with, I may not be that guy. But if you want someone to drive you home, I will get the job done and I will get you home.
KASICH: ... If I become President because we’ll have a Constitutional Amendment to require a federally balanced budget so they will do their job.
CARSON: Well, obviously, you don’t understand my views on homosexuality. I believe that our Constitution protects everybody, regardless of their sexual orientation or any other aspect. I also believe that marriage is between one man and one woman. And there is no reason that you can’t be perfectly fair to the gay community.
FIORINA: I think it’s a wonderful that that businesses start a 401(k). The point I’m making is this, the Federal Government should not be in a lot of things.
There is no Constitutional role for the Federal Government in setting up — retirement plans. There is no Constitutional role for the Federal Government to be setting minimum wages...
Trumps takes the Lead and then Came CRUZ!
Tonight was AWESOME!
Game ON!
Trump BREAKS Jaws
CRUZ BREAKS in polls!
The TEAM to watch and WIN!
What a con that Pribus is.
This went exactly as he wanted and we all know it.
LOL
Huckabee missed his calling, he should be hawking reverse mortgages.
Well, I really don’t know what he understands about government.
“probably” is not enough for me to come to a assertion.
I do know that as a former contractor, I know about all the regulatory stuff and a lot more because I have done several other endeavors. I know that Governments do not run like businesses and many former businessmen as well as business instructors and academics have failed when they enter government.
We can’t discern or predict anything with trump as there is no track record from which to garner information.
This is why we generally put up someone who has been a Governor, or less frequently a Congress critter.
Obama used that as a ruse to his advantage and played the system, but that does not mean that the system was bad. it only means that a bad person used it to his advantage and a numerical majority did not care.
If Newt could resist being the center of attention. Someone’s else suggested Levin/VDH/etc...they would make the +/-3%ers look small by comparison.
Ok, I took your comment wrong then. I was thinking it was tongue in cheek/sarcastic, that we don’t need another guy who just sits there and lets the other side keep hitting him.
So, am I to understand you meant, someone who takes it, but takes it well and doesn’t back down, then yes, I agree. another Reagan. That’s what we need, IMO.
Actually, to be honest, we could use a Calvin Coolidge right about now. IMHO.
No, I actually do my own research and my own thinking. I’m not one to let others determine who I like or don’t like.
People have said Trump is not campaigning properly because he has depended on hype and media. However, he is now taking serious steps to make his ground game.

Oh I know very well what is going on today.
It’s classic political knee jerk from a frustrated bunch of people who are being screwed by their own politicians as well as Obama.
But that does not mean that you stop critical thinking and join a chorus where you feel comfortable...even for a little while.
This has a 95% chance of backfiring right back at you, IMO..It’s never wise to try to correct one mistake or two mistakes with another.
