An all-out brawl broke out on Saturday night's debate stage, as the GOP candidates viciously tried to wound each other ahead of next weekend's South Carolina primary.
Donald Trump skewered Jeb Bush for standing by his brother and the Iraq War. Bush slammed John Kasich for supporting Obamacare's Medicaid expansion. Marco Rubio and Trump called Ted Cruz a serial liar, and Cruz bit back, retorting that Rubio is weak on undocumented immigrants

OOOOO I am so sorry.
I know how bad it feels to have someone I was supporting lose.
Cruz isn’t going to be winning.
Is English your first language?
So true. They played his game tonight, except for Kasich and Carson. And Kasich tried to have it both ways and it fell flat. Kind of like trying to play room monitor or something. And Carson, well, if we were voting for just a wired brain that we could plug into a CPU socket or something, then maybe. All the others were in for a free for all where Trump invited them into his barbed wire caged mud wrestling arena.
“You’re doing a heckuva job, Reince.”
bfl
He was in Canada and then flying to Kuba
Yes, Jeb keeps digging himself deeper and deeper. This is NOT how you win by bring up your mother. sheesh.
>Is English your first language?
No last
Cruz has completely lost me because of his lies. I never thought he would pull crap like he did in Iowa.
That’s OK, 10,000 others were convinced to vote for Trump

Trump just completely kneecapped Cruz. “I like Trump” “Cruz is bigger liar than Jeb” Really bad for Cruz
The debate was a shameful embarrassment of petulant 2nd graders. I thought at one point one of the candidates was going to say "I'm rubber your glue what ever you say bounces off me and sticks to you". We were treated to "your a liar" "no you are a liar" ad homeinem and avoided policy and principle for cheap shots, one liners and bravado. I am humiliated by the lack of maturity of tonight's debate and can only wonder if CBS was delighted at the display of a circular firing squad of clowns.
And if Cruz is really going to be able to accomplish things in DC, here's his chance: Suspend his campaign and go make sure the Senate does not confirm an Obama SC nominee. Cruz can't do it. Though the TELLS us all he'll do and has done. He's done nothing. But he has an opportunity.
Good post. Trump was the only one on that stage who could honestly make the closing statemetn he did.
Oh and Ted IS a LIAR.
Yes, the "he lost me" is so much a three week old meme now. Stale and hollow. :)
Not only was George W a disaster, the old man was a disaster as well. Trump should have pointed out that it was Bush 1’s inept ambassador to Iraq that told Hussein that the US had no interest in inter-Arab conflicts, and took no side in their dispute with Kuwait over their border. Hussein took that as a green light to invade Kuwait. Bush 1 then decided that he wanted get us involved in a war in the Middle East at Israel’s behest, and at the behest of some oil companies.
Bush 2 decided to take out Hussein because he felt that Hussein’s continued rule over Iraq was affront to Bush1.
Thousands of our men died so that Bush 2 and Bush 1 could feel like big men.
How’d that “kinder gentler conservatism” work out? Not very well.
We’ve had 2 too many Bushes, and Jeb needs to be kicked to the curb.
