CNN Republican Presidential Debate (kiddies at 6:30ET, main event at 8:30 post 1001 ) LIVE THREAD

CNN ^ | December 15, 2015

[Jim Robinson]

GOP candidates debate for first time since terror attacks.

[Rome2000]

Lindsey Graham is complete moron.

The USA won’t check Facebook but wants to read your e-mails.

[Jim Robinson]

I think Graham is mixed up. He says it’s a religious war but we can’t ban the enemy: Muslims.

[refreshed]

Graham nauseates me. He really makes me ill. For real. As in, I’m not joking. I can’t stand him. I couldn’t stand him even if his politics were perfectly conservative, which they are not.

Huckabee is a serious person. He has his problems, but I like him more every time I watch him in one of these debates.

[mylife]

yup

[mtrott]

Huck with a good point on intelligence gathering and 4th amendment.

[SMM48]

Trump has made himself entirely unpalatable to me over the Scalia bash. Still, truth is truth and they are flat out lying for their own advantage.

He was unpalatable to you before the Scalia bash, so keep it real.

[bray]

Has Fox declared Rubio the winner and Trump the loser yet?

Merry Christmas

[fkabuckeyesrule]

For the cable cutters out there the Salem Radio Network has the kiddies debate on right now. If I had a nerf ball I would have hit Lindsay Graham a few times by now.

[ConservativeTeen]

Graham’s diction makes me think there is a giant onion on his lectern.

[Jim Robinson]

The sooner it’s narrowed down to Cruz v Trump the better.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Huckabee — NSA, don’t take away but let’s be effective, check out facebook, twitter....lady terrorist on facebook we didn’t even look. Employers look.

He is so good at being interesting and expressive. He is easy to listen to. I know he won’t win. Just saying.

Protect Americans and put them first, not last.

Santorum agrees. Against PC. Etc. Love Santorum, too. He is also a very good speaker.

[don-o]

I kinda feel sorry for Lindsey. If he has any friends, they need to do an intervention.

[Engraved-on-His-hands]

Santorum says that political correctness keeps us from asking the right questions, including finding out which mosques people are attending.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Graham calling out Cruz and Paul...he’s hyperventilating almost.

Santorum and Huckabee are on the right page. Pataki not so much. Grahmnesty should go home. Now.

[so_real]

I think Graham is mixed up. He says it's a religious war but we can't ban the enemy: Muslims.

Yeah ... because "banning" the enemy "helps" the enemy. Wait, what? What the h*ll has he been drinking?

[867V309]

Lets see, CNN has on the screen right now a commie, a queer, a mafioso, a retard, and some other guy that might be a queer.

Why showing the SC?

[Duchess47]

Watching this it is so clear to me that many of these people are in just to keep the votes split. Pataki and Graham should be way gone. Huckebee and Santorum are intelligent and at least seem reasonable but time to go I think.

[freepersup]

Question about the format tonight...
Are we seeing the second tier candidates before the first tier candidates?

[fatima]

Not really. I was not going to vote for him for his refusal to support Kim Davis. I did like and defend him. He became unpalatable for his Scalia bash. The courts are THE biggest issue. The liberal courts will seek to overturn every conservative action done by any branch of government.
