[ObozoMustGo2012]

Yes, hopefully that won him some points back after being called out by Rand on TPP

[Enlightened1]

Exactly full of GOPe.

[Kenny]

Boy audience is all-Rubio all-the-time.

[luvie]

Got that right! WOOHOO!!

[matginzac]

Well good for you but people who make less than $36K should pay SOMETHING in taxes...they drive on the same roads, etc...wrong to let them get a pass...

[jennychase]

Robot is lost it , what you were saying?

[Jim W N]

Oh no, more from the Leftist WSJ guy. Ugh.

[maggief]

Did Rubio just deflect from Paul talking about arms to ISIS and terrorists?

[right way right]

Paul is finally right on something. The origin's of ISIS.

[bolobaby]

Didn’t Cavuto say this debate was about the economy and that’s it at the beginning?

Someone ding the moderators for getting off topic.

[celmak]

Trump good booed for asking why “she keeps interrupting.

He should have said that about Kasick.

[eyedigress]

So do men.

[SomeCallMeTim]

what happened to talk about the economy?

[Jane Long]

It’s in our water ;-)

[mrsmith]

* Audience is a bunch of Bushbots.*

Yes, boos for Trump and cheers for Jeb.

[Kevin in California]

Is Kasich on some medication or something? He cannot stay still.

[Kevin in California]

Is Kasich on some medication or something? He cannot stay still.

[napscoordinator]

Thank goodness he went and was successful. Oh gosh.....now Kasick is annoying me and I am pretty much supportive of all these guys because they are 100 times better then Obama and 500 times better then Hillary. Yep even Bush (God help me....lol).

[Lucky9teen]

OMG, you mean Cruz had a real person moment, where he flubbed his thoughts? Oh, the huge manatee. Stop the presses!!

So lame...if you're willing to shun a candidate, based on a flubbed sentence, than you are as shallow as a Demcrat. No, Ted is not done. Not by a long shot. Maybe to knee-jerk reactionaries like you, who don't really want him to win anyway, but those who have researched and watched him, he's just getting started...

To clarify since he mis-stated it in his answer....Those 5 agencies Ted will eliminate are:

The IRS and these cabinet agencies are unnecessary and will be shuttered for the following reasons:

-Internal Revenue Service – to dramatically simplify the tax code and enable everyone to fill out their taxes on a postcard or smartphone app.

-Department of Education – to return education to those who know our students best: parents, teachers, local communities, and states. And to block-grant education funding to the states.

-Department of Energy – to cut off the Washington cartel, stop picking winners and losers, and unleash the energy renaissance.

-Department of Commerce – to close the “congressional cookie jar” and promote free enterprise and free trade for every business.

-Department of Housing and Urban Development – to offer real solutions that lift people out of hardship, rather than trapping families in a cycle of poverty, and to empower hurting Americans by reforming most of the remaining programs, such as Section 8 housing.

Cruz argues in the plan he won't do it through executive action, but by working with Congress. You can read more about his plan here.

[Paleo Pete]

I think the moderators almost lost control a couple of times.

Then again its good to see them actually debate a little
