Official 2016 GOP thread: Is it really going to be Donald Trump?? (5 Viewers)

[Porkchop Express]

Rubiobot has blown a circuit tonight.

 

[Higgs]

The moderators are so bad, I think it will mute any damage to any candidate.

Worst I've ever seen. 9 straight negative questions to start a debate, all encouraging one to attack the other.

 

[quickhands]

Obviously the moderators think Carson is dropping out.

Horrible. Who is this doosh?

 

[SoBeDad]

All of the Republicans now agree on immigration right?

Some of those questions had to be asked - the purpose is two fold - one to put the candidates under pressure and two to allow people to shine (oe not)

 

[RBM]

Christie right after Rubio again.

 

[quickhands]

All of the Republicans now agree on immigration right?

Except for Bush Rubio and Kasich.

 

[Porkchop Express]

Christie has pizza and beer on his mind.

 

[Righetti]

Christie sitting in his boxers watching baseball eating an entire pizza and a beer is a sight I hope to never see

 

[Higgs]

You know Trump is fantasizing about those dsl's

 

[quickhands]

Alright, Jon Hamms daughter.

 

[Porkchop Express]

This moderator is named Ham, Christie's ears just pricked up.

 

[quickhands]

Trump. Lol.

 

[RBM]

Donald is sharp tonight.

 

[The Dude]

Turns me off when Rubio keeps bashing the president - put a positive spin on how you would do the job

 

[kwille]

Trumps health care plan: 1) repeal ACA 2)Take care of people dying in the street

 

[SIDA!]

Trump = compassionate conservative.

 

[dschuler]

Donald is sharp tonight.

Very sharp. He seems to have a better understanding of how the world works in real time than anyone else

 

[quickhands]

Trumps health care plan: 1) repeal ACA 2)Take care of people dying in the street

Don't forget excellence.

 

[The Dude]

When Trump talks about leveraging China - does the guy realize we owe them like a gazillion dollars

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Trump = compassionate conservative.

He won moderates in Iowa.

 

[quickhands]

Carson's plan is a great long term solution.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

When Trump talks about leveraging China - does the guy realize we owe them like a gazillion dollars

We're going to put our casinos up as collateral.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Remember when hosted by local reporters who would ask questions of interest to the state they were trying to win?

 

[quickhands]

You need eminent domain for casinos as well.

 

[dschuler]

When Trump talks about leveraging China - does the guy realize we owe them like a gazillion dollars

We only owe 1.3 trillion to China.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Sorry screw Trump on eminent domain.

 

[timschochet]

Not sure if there is a big winner

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Bravo to Jeb.

 

[kwille]

Jeb actually lands a punch.

 

[Righetti]

Trump is such a bully

[SaintsInDome2006]

The Tide.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

It is turning.

 

[NorvilleBarnes]

Holy Crap this is awesome.

 

[Johnnymac]

Trump was good there

 

[SameSongNDance]

This is so much better than SNL.

 

[dschuler]

I've always noticed that with the crowd, it was the same way with Ron Paul eight years ago

 

[NorvilleBarnes]

Trump is the only candidate who can look good getting booed.

 

[Shula-holic]

Trump is right on eminent domain, the crowd can boo if they want. It's idiocy to think otherwise.

 

[TripItUp]

Trump going after the booing crowd will only help him...continues to paint himself as the anti establishment candidate.

Pretty smart.

 

[fatguyinalittlecoat]

Trump-Jeb exchange was gold. This has been one of the most fun debates.

 

[SIDA!]

So true. No regular Joe gets into those debates. Maybe just a token few.

 

[fatguyinalittlecoat]

Trump going after the booing crowd will only help him...continues to paint himself as the anti establishment candidate.

Pretty smart.

Yup.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Trump going after the booing crowd will only help him...continues to paint himself as the anti establishment candidate.

Pretty smart.

With his followers yes. 30%. Everyone else thinks he's a dlck. He's at 60% unfavorable he can probably get that to 70%.

 

[dschuler]

Agreed. And normally they overpay because let's face it, the government overpays for everything. It costs me almost $100 to get a roll of duct tape
