Around 1127 pm cst I swear I saw David Duke standing behind Ben Carson while he was being interviewed in the cutaway after Trump and Baier
Anyone else catch that?
That would be a bizarre photo op
Uhh, Trump did blame Clinton....
Trump blames Bill Clinton for 9/11
http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/265664-trump-blames-bill-clinton-for-9-11
Early in the campaign, Jeb Bush flubbed a question about whether his brother did the right thing by going into Iraq. It took him three tries to come up with a satisfactory answer about keeping us safe. Since then, Trump has been needling Bush about the Bush "legacy" and whether brother Bush kept us safe. Trump knows it gets Jeb Bush all flustered, distracted, defensive, and off-message when he brings it up.
The question now is who is getting hurt more by this line of attack, Bush or Trump? I think Trump, because Bush doesn't really have anything to lose. It may have stopped any Bush momentum early on in the race, but it's Trump's to lose now.

Tonight he blamed George W Bush.....
I think Cruz was more worried about appealing to the white voters.
He didn’t want to look like a wetback debating in Spanish.
He’s perfectly capable of doing so as we saw tonight. I’m sure he speaks fluent Spanish and did so at home with his father from day 1.
All I know is that back then we were tracking the semi’s here on FR.
They went to Syria
Some were also full of USA dollars.
Trump doesn’t spend his own money but he sure does spend other people’s money.
I watch these debates in view of which individual can take on Hillry, presuming she does not get sent to Ft. Leavenworth or checks herself in some private mental institution.... The only one that can take Hillry on is Trump...
The rest of these candidates are donor owned as demonstrated by the audience. Jeb Bush per the family claim is Hillry’s step-brother-in-law... She will have him cowed in the first minute.
Cruz and Rubio will get a thrashing because neither are eligible to hold the office of president... Hillry will chew them up and spit them out.... Accuse them of pandering to the illegal Hispanics....
Katich is only running for the VEEP position and he would even take that slot if it were offered by Hillry.
Trump was laying down the ‘national’ debate parameters. What is Hillry going to accuse him of doing - being...
In response to Jeb incorrectly saying that he kept the country safe.
After watching this debacle tonight, I honestly don’t know what Trump is. He appears to be unstable and embarrassing.
If you can continue to support that, then you have my prayers and best wishes. I hope you are right if he wins.
You obviously know nothing about Trump. Even if he was the self-centered cad you people paint him as, he would not appoint a liberal.
He’s a billionaire capitalist who loves his guns and is incapable of being politically correct. How many liberal judges do you think would fit that bill?
Trump is trying to position himself for the GENERAL ELECTION.
W is blamed to this day for the economy and multiple wars we had no business being in.
Now Hillary/Sanders can’t attack Trump about George W. Bush’s record on (1) Iraq or (2) the bailouts.
On one hand Trump brags about how little he has spent and is in first place... and then an hour later he says how much this race is costing him because he is self funded. Who knows which one it is....
It IS the Twilight Zone.
Thomas Jefferson on Judicial Tyranny
“Nothing in the Constitution has given them [the federal judges] a right to decide for the Executive, more than to the Executive to decide for them. . . . The opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not, not only for themselves, in their own sphere of action, but for the Legislature and Executive also in their spheres, would make the Judiciary a despotic branch.” (Letter to Abigail Adams, September 11, 1804)
“The original error [was in] establishing a judiciary independent of the nation, and which, from the citadel of the law, can turn its guns on those they were meant to defend, and control and fashion their proceedings to its own will.” (Letter to John Wayles Eppes, 1807)
“Our Constitution...intending to establish three departments, co-ordinate and independent that they might check and balance one another, it has given—according to this opinion to one of them alone the right to prescribe rules for the government of others; and to that one, too, which is unelected by and independent of the nation. . . . The Constitution, on this hypothesis, is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist and shape into any form they please.” (Letter to Judge Spencer Roane, Sept. 6, 1819)
“You seem...to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy. Our judges are as honest as other men, and not more so...and their power [is] the more dangerous, as they are in office for life and not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the elective control. The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that to whatever hands confided, with corruptions of time and party, its members would become despots.” (Letter to William Jarvis, Sept. 28, 1820)
“The judiciary of the United States is the subtle corps of sappers and miners constantly working under ground to undermine the foundations of our confederated fabric. They are construing our constitution from a co-ordination of a general and special government to a general and supreme one alone. This will lay all things at their feet, and they are too well versed in English law to forget the maxim, ‘boni judicis est ampliare jurisdictione’ [good judges have ample jurisdiction]... A judiciary independent of a king or executive alone, is a good thing; but independence of the will of the nation is a solecism, at least in a republican government.” (Letter to Thomas Ritchie, Dec. 25, 1820)
“The germ of dissolution of our federal government is in the constitution of the federal Judiciary; an irresponsible body (for impeachment is scarcely a scare-crow) working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a little today and a little tomorrow, and advancing its noiseless step like a thief, over the field of jurisdiction, until all shall be usurped.” (Letter to Charles Hammond, August 18, 1821)
“The great object of my fear is the Federal Judiciary. That body, like gravity, ever acting with noiseless foot and unalarming advance, gaining ground step by step and holding what it gains, is engulfing insidiously the special governments into the jaws of that which feeds them.” (Letter to Judge Spencer Roane, 1821)
“At the establishment of our constitutions, the judiciary bodies were supposed to be the most helpless and harmless members of the government. Experience, however, soon showed in what way they were to become the most dangerous; that the insufficiency of the means provided for their removal gave them a freehold and irresponsibility in office; that their decisions, seeming to concern individual suitors only, pass silent and unheeded by the public at large; that these decisions, nevertheless, become law by precedent, sapping, by little and little, the foundations of the constitution, and working its change by construction, before any one has perceived that that invisible and helpless worm has been busily employed in consuming its substance. In truth, man is not made to be trusted for life if secured against all liability to account.” (Letter to A. Coray, October 31, 1823)
“One single object... [will merit] the endless gratitude of the society: that of restraining the judges from usurping legislation.” (Letter to Edward Livingston, March 25, 1825)
Abe Lincoln’s first inaugural address:
“...The candid citizen must confess that if the policy of the government, upon vital questions, affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made, in ordinary litigation between parties, in personal actions, the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having, to that extent, practically resigned their government into the hands of that eminent tribunal.”
Ah...I am so sad. I thought Marjoe Gortner adequately displayed the talents that Ted Cruz has with the “Religious” crowd. Well, you loss. Enjoy the night though.
Never "FReeped" a poll, have you?
Depends. Are you willing to listen to our thoughts, logic, feelings, what’s important to us, etc?
Or do you just want to scream and feel smugly self-righteous?
Could be, but I’m not going for the sounding like a wetback statement.
It was a stupid request, and Cruz was right in not debating in Spanish to impress the illegals.
Dewertst (cant spell his name sometimes) probably wanted the illegal’s votes.
Cruz wanted the votes of citizens of the USA.
That's a good start. He needs to hire 5% that are actually doing their jobs, to finger another 50% of the drones so he can say:
YOU'RE FIRED!
