Official 2016 GOP thread: Is it really going to be Donald Trump?? (2 Viewers)

[Leviathan]

Fiorina (sp?) should have been at the grown-up table instead of a couple of these clowns.

This debate is off the rails! Love it!!

Her up, Huckabee, Christie and Paul down

Agreed. Long way to go, though. Lots of jitters tonight from all of the candidates.

 

[urbanhack]

hey guys....let's just lift our spirits.

 

[Billy Bats]

Jon Stewart quit one night too soon.

 

[BustedKnuckles]

Trump called US politicians stupid and everyone else on stage said nothing. Incredibly weak. What an opportunity for another candidate to step up and take Trump on. Nobody did. Unbelievable.

True if these dummies can't stand up to Trump or for themselves or their country they don't deserve to be president.

leaders lead...followers follow

 

[GoBirds]

What were the odds on Ben Carson using the word idiot before Trump?

I thought he summed up the democratic strategy pretty well.

 

[Fennis]

John Kasich is the perfect Republican candidate. Boring, dull, old white guy is too appealing not to vote for most of them

Honestly, he's sharp and this is coming from FBG's token black guy.

He's still boring and dull and old and a white guy, Arizona Ron.

 

[QuizGuy66]

When Bush fumbles on standard (lame) lines like repealing obamacare you know he's struggling.

Winners:

Kasich, by far

Walker

Paul

Huckabee

Jeb

Losers:

Carson

Trump

Christie

embarrassing performances by the last three. Trump committed political suicide within the R party tonight.

Rubio surprisingly still flat, still drinking water on the side. Maybe he's a bygone era guy.

exactly. Stick to the other side.

Paul could have been better. He'll get better when given more time about warrants. They deliberately did that to him and Christie.

Advocating against a single-payer health care system is the reason Trump shouldn't even be on the stage.

Huckabee did great when asked about federalism. I mean, despite his political leanings, that was a great answer.

 

[Mister CIA]

Rubio and Kasich emerge as tier 1 serious candidates after tonight. I can see Kasich becoming Rubio's Biden.

 

[Rirruto]

Jon Stewart quit one night too soon.

At least there's John Oliver. But we're missing Stewart and Colbert big time. Take that to the bank.

 

[Fennis]

I would never vote for a president with that bald spot.

 

[RedmondLonghorn]

Christie supports the War on Drugs, War on Terror, and the undeclared war on privacy.

0/3

 

[Doctor Detroit]

In this debate it matters not what Rockaction thinks, it matters what I think.

Rubio, Bush, Ohio guy are the only guys I'd vote for.

Walker, Cruz, and Paul are unelectable and will get slaughtered by Hillary or Biden. Trump is a squirrel for kid with ADHD.

 

[Rirruto]

I would never vote for a president with that bald spot.

This is a parade of bad hair tonight.

 

[Fennis]

Christie supports the War on Drugs, War on Terror, and the undeclared war on privacy.

0/3

sounds like 70% of that stage

 

[General Tso]

What's Cristie doing with the lime green wrist band?

Weird. Maybe I'm too hard on Rubio.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

What's Cristie doing with the lime green wrist band?

Reminds him to eat a salad at lunch.

 

[RBM]

Everybody agree Trump's numbers will not take a hit after this? I say he stays in front.

 

[Capella]

Huckabee looks like what I imagine satan looks like.

 

[Leviathan]

I would never vote for a president with that bald spot.

 

[quickhands]

Huckabee is doing well. If you don't see it you aren't paying to who he's playing to.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Huckabee hasn't been laid since the first Bush was in office.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Add Kasich to my winners list tonight.

people will look at him which is what he needed.

I stand by notion Christie and Paul hurt each other.

-QG

 

[Galileo]

Every time I see/hear Huckabee, I think "TV evangelist"

 

[NutterButter]

I have a hard time believing that the changes Christie proposes for SS is even worth debating

Oh shut the #### up with the old and white ####. Jerkoff.

Let's be honest....do we really want someone from New Jersey running the country?

 

[Leviathan]

What's Cristie doing with the lime green wrist band?

It keeps him from eating the field.

 

[dutch]

What's Cristie doing with the lime green wrist band?

MD Governor Larry Hogan has cancer and that wrist band is a Hogan's Heroes band in support of his recivery. They are good friends.

I dunno. I admit I was wrong about his demeanor. But I don't know if he stays in front. I suspect he will drop heavily, but I've been quite wrong about this so far.

 

[General Tso]

Rubio and Kasich emerge as tier 1 serious candidates after tonight. I can see Kasich becoming Rubio's Biden.

Exactly what I was thinking. I'm worried though that Rubio just looks too young.

 

[Willie Neslon]

Pimps

 

[RBM]

Huckabee hasn't been laid since the first Bush was in office.

 

[QuizGuy66]

I think Christie wants someome to ask him about the wristband.

Huckabee wants a pimp tax?

[Thunderlips]

I think FOX and most of the other Big Republican outlets used him as a warm up act to the actual campaign season. They don't need him anymore . That the first question was about running as an Indy showed what they actually thought of him.

 

[quickhands]

Well I take that back

 

[NutterButter]

Keep pimping that fairtax Huck. I love ya baby. Stay away from that social nonsense.

 

[Fennis]

Huckabee looks like what I imagine satan looks like.

Yep. The thing is, it also describes Hillary's record pretty well. She has no compunction about changing positions to get elected, of course, but being able to draw a distinction against both the paleo conservative dinosaurs and the Democrats is a pretty neat trick. Too bad there aren't more (or better) candidates espousing those positions.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Huckabee is doing well. If you don't see it you aren't paying to who he's playing to.

He can throw red meat to his base all he wants, but he won't win over independents like me with his rhetoric.

Trump question face!!!

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Yeah, he stays in front. Really hope Rubio and this Ohio guy gain steam though.

 

[rockaction]

Huckabee is doing well. If you don't see it you aren't paying to who he's playing to.

Tons of economic populism to be had in the Midwest and South. Anyone dismissing him missed Iowa in 2008. This is how #### like this happens.

 

[ArbyMelt]

Final 4, Kasich, Rubio, Carly and Bush. The rest need to drop out now.

 

[quickhands]

Huckabee is doing well. If you don't see it you aren't paying to who he's playing to.

That's a problem 4 a later day. His pimps hooked comment finished him off

 

[Mister CIA]

What's Cristie doing with the lime green wrist band?

Reminds him to eat a salad at lunch.

I'll have two Big Macs, a Quarter-Pounder with cheese, three small fries and a diet Coke.

... What about your diet?!!

And a small salad.
