Official 2016 GOP thread: Is it really going to be Donald Trump?? (1 Viewer)

[NorvilleBarnes]

Jeb: We have to deal with this mess that someone created!

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

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

No. People should not have their property taken by the government for private profit. Screw that.

Do you drive to work every day? If you do, you're using eminent domain property.

No kidding. That's a public use, not a casino or a mall.

So is your line at buildings and not roads? What about schools? Infrastructure such as a pipeline, railway? Keep in mind, rail also involves for profit uses but is a necessity.

My line is the situation in the Kelo case and what Trump pulled in AC. Here in NO after Katrina the government absorbed a score square blocks and drove out renters, home owners, people who had rebuilt. 150 year old neighborhood. When you see the guts torn out the middle of your town so some politically connected individuals can make a load of money please let me know how that is.

My point is, eminent domain is necessary. In the case you mentioned that's a local government issue. Not surprising in NO.

It can be. Like I said in my edit above I have no problem with the road example.

I like that Kasich guy. He's got experience at more levels than any candidate. Why isn't he higher in the polls.

As he recently said he should be in the Democratic primary

It says a lot if that's really the case.. It's like the right has become to demand some sort of purity like one would of a Middle Eastern bride.

I disagreeHe's a big government guy. The problem with this country isn't that it's mismanaged. Which is his argument.

The Republican base sees the problem as the govt is to big.

In what way is Kasich a big government guy?

Look at his massive expansion of Medicaid in Ohio. He's really not cutting govt.

He's a manager.

I'm just explaining why he's not catching on.

I would take a Geography class from Dr. Carson.

 

[The General]

Cruz torture answer was rough.

 

[quickhands]

Cruz torture answer was rough.

It was horrible imo.

 

[Johnnymac]

Trump "I would bring back a helluva lot worse than waterboarding" At least the guy says whats on his mind

 

[SIDA!]

Trump talks plainly and it resonates with Americans. The torture question is a perfect example.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

I would like Bushes better if there was no Mideast and no need for financial regulation.

 

[quickhands]

Trump "I would bring back a helluva lot worse than waterboarding" At least the guy says whats on his mind

You know where he stands.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Let's give Rubio three chances to say the same thing here?

He finally gave a proper reply. It was a softball from Martha.

Probably his best moment of the night. But he seems to not answer questions almost intentionally to get the follow up question asking him to answer so he gets more time.

Riggghhhttt ...

Its more his lack of substance.

So your complaint with him is that he took the federal dollars for Medicaid in Ohio rather than having his constituents pay for it all, in addition to their federal taxes?

He's not the most charasmatic personality. But I think part of his issue is how far to the right extreme the party has moved and he's not seen as "pure" by the right.

 

[Higgs]

Another bad joke by Cruz?

It's what makes him endearing.

Hey quick hands, you a Kasich supporter?

I like him for governor of ohio.

Thought so. Your name gave it away.

 

[Johnnymac]

Cruz is a smart guy, I have to give him credit. I dont agree with his politics but he's sharp.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

I'm looking forward to the end of the debate to see if we get a shot of Cruz hopping into the Dragula and tearing off.

It's not a complaint.

He did what he thought was best for ohio.

I just don't think it makes your Arab bride analogy correct. He also has no anger.

For better or worse we have a angry electorate.

Allan Dershowitz said he's the smartest student he ever had. High praise.

I didn't know that. High praise indeed.

 

[Righetti]

God Kasich is way too positive for this crowd

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Cruz is a smart guy, I have to give him credit. I dont agree with his politics but he's sharp.

I agree. His problem is that he feels the need to tell you every ten seconds just how smart he is.

That is.

 

[Righetti]

I thought Kasich was having a coronary on stage with those sounds

 

[dschuler]

What a train wreck for Rubio. He's been booed more than cheered, and the other establishment candidates are on fire

 

[NorvilleBarnes]

Everyone's laughing and smiling . . let's talk about heroin.

 

[timschochet]

Just turned this on. This is the first time Republicans have been asked about heroin.

 

[dschuler]

Cruz is a smart guy, I have to give him credit. I dont agree with his politics but he's sharp.

I agree. His problem is that he feels the need to tell you every ten seconds just how smart he is.

I've actually read many times that's why he's so unpopular. He's the smartest guy in the room, but also the biggest doosh

 

[dschuler]

No it's not

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

He is,

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Cruz needs to stop pounding the podium.

 

[NorvilleBarnes]

A good human "real" moment for Cruz

I've said this on the board a few times, but if you really want to know why people dislike this guy, look up my friend's Twitter account. @clmazin He lived in a room with Ted for 10 months and has uncommon insight into why he's so intensely disliked.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Incredible.

 

[dschuler]

He is,

I've been saying it all along, he's a prime VP candidate. Ohio would go red in 2016, which is a must win for them. He's also tough for the Dems to beat. Believes in healthcare, amnesty, and has a positive message

 

[The Dude]

Carson is a non entity

 

[quickhands]

A good human "real" moment for Cruz

Incredible.

That may have really changed his narrative. Especially when I think the moderator was expecting a wonk ish answer.

 

[Shula-holic]

Marco needs some new material and catchphrases

 

[The Dude]

RUbio back to canned lines

Thanks for the reminder and the Twitter account!!! I've heard of that story but haven't looked into it. x10

 

[NorvilleBarnes]

Rubio with his well rehearsed response again.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

'First of all we are talking about a deceitful individual.....'

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Christie is on fire tonight

Leaving it on the field, he's been good.

 

[the moops]

I imagine this has been posted already?

Can't even get walking to their podium right

I feel sorry for those cheesesteaks in his dressing room. They have no chance, tonight.

Ha actually I've seen this, great stuff.

 

[Amused to Death]

Christie is on fire tonight

Leaving it on the field, he's been good.

He's a good debater but he can't run away from his NJ record. He's been living in NH for the better part of a year and still polling at 4%.

 

[SIDA!]

Carson really effed that up but it was clear once he got his first question that he did not hear his name called. What a cluster.

2012 was his year.

 

[SoBeDad]

So, Ohio and NJ have seen big increases in employment during the Obama administration. Not that either candidate has much of a chance, but that approach won't go over well against Hillary.
