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

All he said is that Bush was president on 9 11. That’s true, isn’t it, or is my calendar wrong. ?
Trump played a very smart game plan tonight. He brought up the FACT that he opposed the invasion of Iraq, and pinned that directly on Bush. The only one that can play the same game on Clinton is Trump. Trump made a huge play for Independent and white democrats who are routinely sh!t on by every democrat candidate. Trump’s emphasis on bringing jobs back here also will appeal to white union members who are routinely also sh!t on by democrats.
The republican party always says that we must expand the pool of those who will vote for republicans, Trump is the ONLY one that has demonstrated the ability to expand the voter pool. Unlike the gope elite’s insistence that republicans pander to blacks and Hispanics, Trump has decided to go after the white working class democrats who for some insane reason vote democrat despite the fact that dems hate them, and use them only to push themselves over the top so that they can enact more legislation and allow in more Third Worlders to further destroy the white working class.
1. My point wasn’t about how the war was conducted.
2. That happened before we invaded Iraq.
Could you get more irrelevant if you put some effort into it?
I want it to be a big scandal how the debate audience was rigged and allowed to be out of control
You might want to look at the Drudgereport poll from the debate. Trump more than 102,000, three times the second place guy.
You couldn't be more wrong about Trump.
“9 11 could happen on any presidents watch”
You sure don’t demand much from the commander in chief.
Don't try to be obtuse.
He was saying 9/11 was Bush's fault because it happened on his watch.
Do you agree?
Do you support that crap?
If Bush1 hadn’t allowed us to be sucked into a war that wasn’t in our interests, there wouldn’t have been any No Fly Zone in the first place.
Iraq nuclear, biological and chemical weapons programs posed no threat to the US. We saw the state of their technology, the SCUD missiles with “warheads” on them that were like flying pipe bombs, and even less effective. If some in the Middle East felt threatened by these things, they should have taken care of it themselves.
Guess I missed that attack.
Trump was responding to Jeb’s claim that W kept the country safe. Which he didn’t. Doesn’t mean it was necessarily W’s fault, but on the other hand, you also cannot say that he kept the country safe.
I thought Trump was in the beginning more above the fray, but has grown into a nasty, vicious, lame excuse for a presidential candidate. Very unprofessional!
All we accomplished by taking out Saddam was making Iran more powerful.
Just watched this exchange on CNN. Trump didn’t attack Barbara or Bush Sr. It was Jeb who brought them up, and the CNN panel is laughing....at Jeb!
I’m sorry to hear that Berdie, but it’s your decision to make and I support you in your decision.
You’ve got to understand I do get a kick out of the posts that sound like the one I responded to.
I haven’t see a single one like that saying Ted lost their support that night. Perhaps I just missed them.
You take care. I hope you can get behind someone later.
God Trump get over Iowa you petulant little baby. You lost.
And George Bush was responsible for that? By your logic if George Washington hadn't won the War of Independence we wouldn't be in this mess now. LOL
Yes.
I think we need at least another dozen ‘debates’. /s
Not surprised. I didn’t believe his last second conversion on this issue to begin with.
