*** OFFICIAL REPUBLICAN DEBATE THREAD 3 *** AKA TRUMP IS BACK!

[Agschmid]

Read the whole TPP I mean that a whole lot of pages, can't my people just do that for me?

Have at it.

[nolabear]

1. China must feel so special. He's obsessed.

[Agschmid]

5. At least he isn't flying Air Force one over the islands...

[LSK]

2. Rand reminds Trump that China is not part of TPP

[nolabear]

9. Whoopsie. He trumped Trump!

[kelliekat44]

15. The moderator should have made this correction. nt

[Agschmid]

16. Moderators... Make corrections? Lol.

[Agschmid]

3. The moderators are getting silenced by their own music.

[TheCowsCameHome]

4. Whew. Thread chasing has me all tuckered out.

[Agschmid]

6. Sorry they get slow fast so I keep them clean.

This is probably the last one, I think we are all over it at this point.

[RKP5637]

7. I had to go get my Navigator to find the path! lol!

[world wide wally]

8. I felt a relapse of my nausea coming on, so I switched over to "Scream Queens" just in time

to see Dean Munsch punch out Antonin Scalia

[Agschmid]

19. Such a great/odd show.

[world wide wally]

57. The funny part was that each time she punched him, she screamed out "homosexuals do not destroy thei

American family! The Civil Rights Act should be restored completely! Obamacare does not require you to eat broccoli!"
I wonder if Roger Ailes knows what goes on on his entertainment channel.

[Person 2713]

128. Cool my teen watches this and I wondered if it was something I should check on the content

Now I will say nah
Sounds like somethings she would scream

[GP6971]

10. Trump scored some points

But so far, who's winning. Surely isn't Bush.

[RKP5637]

14. Bush is sinking fast. He'll be seated at the kid's table next time. n/t

[riderinthestorm]

17. Rubio or Kasich imo nt

[Agschmid]

22. Rubio.

[cilla4progress]

11. Please clarify for me Fiorina's answer

n health care:

we must allow the free market to work AND states should manage high-risk pools???

From someone against government participation in anything? How is this the free market?

[GP6971]

29. I don't think clarification is possible

She makes no sense. She also has a hearing impairment......doesn't seem to be able to hear the bell.

[rbrnmw]

12. I think I am losing brain cells

[TheCowsCameHome]

21. Carson has some unused spares in his trunk.

[tblue37]

143. If you lose enough of them, you can run for president in the Republican primary! nt

[LuvLoogie]

185. Hey!...

[emulatorloo]

13. Please explain, why wasn't Rand seated at the kid's table?

Isn't he polling at .001 percent?

[LSK]

18. Terra terra terra, but I bet no word of domestic white racists terrorists...

[RKP5637]

20. Words of wisdom from Carson now. DUH! n/t

[RKP5637]

25. And a polite clap was heard from the audience. n/t

[nolabear]

23. Oh look! Ben Carson is talzzzzzzzzzz......

[L. Coyote]

24. REC

13 Hours The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi Official Trailer #GOPdebate #FoxDebate @HillaryClinton

Republican bosses at work:

[Agschmid]

26. Homeland Security is the biggest theme.

Anyone shocked?

[bullwinkle428]

27. New hashtag : #Indiana-sized-caliphate

[TheCowsCameHome]

28. No, Jeb, the terror threat is more fucking Bushes!

[emulatorloo]

30. ....

[Agschmid]

32. Yup...

Even HW agrees.

[DiehardLiberal]

39. x 1 trillion

[LSK]

31. waiting for them to cry about not enough time to talk tough about Putin

[RKP5637]

33. Jeb needs to raise his hand to be recognized! n/t

[Agschmid]

35. At least he made it on the split screen.

[RKP5637]

45. Score 1 for Jeb, Barbara is now happy!

[Agschmid]

34. Tough split screen for Jeb!

[TheCowsCameHome]

36. The Donald: Coming unglued, part XXIV

[nolabear]

42. "Putin and I were both on 60 minutes. I know him well!"

Yeah. It's like they're twins.

[TheCowsCameHome]

44. Uh-oh. Make that part XXV

[spiderpig]

37. Oh goody. I was falling asleep when Jebbers opened up his piehole.

Now The Donald is fighting with him.

[Agschmid]

41. Sparring over ISIS, funny I don't believe either of them.

[nolabear]

38. Man, Jeb can't even interrupt well.

I wonder if GW would have been this bad in this kind of free for all.

[Agschmid]

43. He would have at least fought, Jeb isn't even trying.

[L. Coyote]

40. Trump's foreign policy experience is being Putin's stable-mate on 60 minutes! ROFL

[emulatorloo]

47. I see Putin from my couch in the CBS green-room

[L. Coyote]

59. DUZY

These clowns have great funny moments

[femmocrat]

75. Duzy!!!

[Peregrine Took]

52. Trump has to repeat a line twice for the dumb bunny audience. n/t

[Agschmid]

46. Carly exists!

She met Putin too!

[nolabear]

51. THAT was the zinger of the night so far.

[JohnnyLib2]

58. missed, please repeat it

[Agschmid]

81. Something along the lines of...

"Trump only met him in a green room, I (Carly) met him in a private meeting"

I'm not doing it justice.

[seafan]

48. Rubio's red hairpiece(?) is unnerving on my teevee.

Interesting that he's getting a lot of ribbing about 'doing something' about his thinning hair.

Bad color choice, Mr. Rubio.

[nolabear]

49. Wait. Give big chunks of oil to Wounded Warriors?

Wha?

[TheCowsCameHome]

50. Carly: Vlad, go to your room right now!!!

[Agschmid]

53. And not the green room.

[Peregrine Took]

55. Carly is out of control - how many times does the bell have to clunk her??? n/t

[TheCowsCameHome]

61. She thinks it's the start of another round.

Jesus H.....

[femmocrat]

54. Carly just zinged trump! LOL

Trump knows Putin from their appearance on "60 Minutes". Carly has met him in a "private meeting." Plus, she has rubbed elbows with everyone in the ME!!!

[Agschmid]

56. That will be on repeat tonight.

[femmocrat]

64. Hahaha Donald just asked why Carly keeps interrupting everyone.

Couple of good sound bites there.

[riderinthestorm]

82. Despicable sexism nt

[Agschmid]

87. Yup.

THAT is sexism.

[TheCowsCameHome]

91. Yep, she really put mophead his place.

lol

[femmocrat]

98. I think she in particular gets under his skin.

Can you imagine him debating Hillary? He obviously can't stand strong, opinionated women. The SNL skit about him and Melania is spot on!

[RKP5637]

60. Looks like Putin is winning the debate, it all seems to hang on him! n/t

[Agschmid]

63. Yup I'd say he is the winner.

[Agschmid]

62. Those women are just always interrupting...

Damn you.

[nolabear]

69. Claire McCaskill needs to have a word or two with The Donald.

[bullwinkle428]

65. Trump : Why can't these women keep their traps shut?

Result - cascade of boos.

[nolabear]

66. "Why does she keep interrupting everybody?" Booed for the second time!

He just can't help himself.

[emulatorloo]

67. 'why does she keep interrupting everybody'

[Agschmid]

71. Hey at least she isn't shouting?

Ohhhhhhhh

[emulatorloo]

73. Lol n/t

[TheCowsCameHome]

72. lol.

He lost points there.

[Peregrine Took]

77. Incredibly irritating person. n/t

[L. Coyote]

68. Rand just called his collegues pre-sophmoric.

[TheCowsCameHome]

70. Alfalfa Rubio is talking

- but it's all nonsense.

[bullwinkle428]

74. Rubio : "THEY HATE US FOR OUR FREEDUMBS!!1!"

[kelliekat44]

79. I don't think ISIS is coming to kill us here. But they are aiming to kill us there and anywhere in

the ME that they believe we are intruding on their sacred lands.

[Agschmid]

95. According to the NRA ad before he kiddie debate ISIS is coming to your street.

BUY GUNS!!!!

[riderinthestorm]

76. Rubio correctly calling out Putin as a gangster

He's right. So now two things that I've found in common with rethugs

[Whiskeytide]

153. Yeah, but you can THINK that...

... yet not actually say it in a national forum. Think ol' Poot's going to forget that if Rubio becomes POTUS?

[marmar]

175. Republicans calling anyone a gangster.....

.... is akin to a great white calling a barracuda a predatory fish.

[nolabear]

78. Rubio might get the Best Participant Award for this one.

Although now that someone mentioned it that red hair is bugging me.

[Agschmid]

101. Yah I didn't notice it until someone brought it up.

[TheCowsCameHome]

80. Ohio John, the mailman's son, is rambling

on and on about who knows what.

[nolabear]

83. He's the pick of the litter, though.

I think he can't believe how crazy the others are.

[TheCowsCameHome]

86. It's all relative, I guess.

[nolabear]

90. True dat. It's one sorry litter.

[emulatorloo]

94. May sound sane now, but just another fucked up Right-wing Republican

[nolabear]

151. Oh I agree. But the crowd is with him on a slow night.

[Whiskeytide]

158. I wouldn't put it past...

... the Koch's to have stacked the audience with paid performers.

[chillfactor]

142. agreed...n/t

[Peregrine Took]

88. To the kiddy table with him. n/t

[procon]

84. How many war zones are these psychos up to now?

The audience keeps cheering for more wars, totally unconcerned with costs or consequences, proving that Republicans are incapable of learning from their past mistakes.

[RKP5637]

96. Yep, they must have invited all of the kingpins for the MIC. n/t

[Agschmid]

85. Kasich brings Hillary back into it.

Still no Bernie, and again I find that rediculous.

[RKP5637]

89. Phew, another break, time to go refill the beer!

[TheCowsCameHome]

97. I was thinking more of taking a dump.

[emulatorloo]

100. Definitely going for the hard liquor here

[Agschmid]

102. You should just stay on that break, you won't miss anything...

But more wars, and fiscal crisis.

[Whiskeytide]

92. These idiots have finally settled into...

... the traditional "claim you're going to do shit you (a) can't do, or (b) won't do in a million years" just because it sounds good. From tax plans to immigration plans to dealing with the Rooskies, there's not a genuine policy statement being made on that stage.

Oh, and Rubio's brain needs repair as evidenced by his ideas of why "they" hate us. If only there were a qualified brain surgeon in the house!

[L. Coyote]

99. If only there were a qualified ringmaster in their house!

[Whiskeytide]

111. Heh heh ... n/t

[L. Coyote]

93. Which announcer just asked, "Stick around, I think it gets interesting."?

There is still hope among the few!

[femmocrat]

103. Neil Cavuto. nt

[nolabear]

109. I did a spit take on that one!

[TheCowsCameHome]

104. Bush Lite lite is really losing it.

It's the sandbox for him, guaranteed

[Agschmid]

105. He's ALL OVER the place.

Rehearsed line to rehearsed line, but they aren't connected.

[TheCowsCameHome]

106. Mainly the floor.........

[RKP5637]

107. Carson's thinking, oh sh**, they're gonna call on me next! n/t

[Whiskeytide]

108. Dodd Frank is allowing the banks...

... to expand undercapitalized???? Really? Deregulate them but regulate greater capitalization? Are they listening to themselves?

[Agschmid]

110. Carson mentioned Bernie!

[Whiskeytide]

127. I posted exactly the same title ...

... But self deleted because it looked like I'd double posted. I had added that he must not have read the talking points memo to keep it on Hillary!

[femmocrat]

113. Kasich just explained Jeb's answer for us.

In case we dozed off while he was answering, I guess.

Since Kasich mentioned him, Jeb should get more time.... but they went to Cruz. Wake up Jeb!!!! You snooze, you lose!

[Agschmid]

114. I dozed off like twenty five minutes ago...

Food coma.

[femmocrat]

117. OMG this is so boring.

I think there is only 10 more min. though. I can make it.

[Agschmid]

119. I expect one more zinger...

But I'm not holding my breath.

[TheCowsCameHome]

115. Did someone give Ted Cruz a voice transplant?

It certainly doesn't fit him well at all.

[Agschmid]

116. So can anyone define "philosopher King"?

[nolabear]

120. Oh, you know. Thinkers. People with ideas. Elites. What have they ever done for the world?

[Agschmid]

121. Nada.

[nolabear]

118. What has Cruz got against philosophers?

Third mention. Of course he's not answering the question.

[bullwinkle428]

122. This is awful - arguing about which group of "Richie Riches" to save.

[L. Coyote]

123. Instead of Matt Lauer, find climate change and equal pay:

[Agschmid]

126. Hell I can barely see "jobs"

That is unless Carly is cutting them again?

[nolabear]

124. Kasich is booed for separating the rich from the poor.

How DAST he!

[bullwinkle428]

125. She did it again! Pulled that failed community bank # out of her butt!

[RKP5637]

129. I wish my doorbell would quit ringing!

[LSK]

130. its like they start with a logical premise and wind up way in left field...

[Whiskeytide]

135. The first part is for the voters...

... and the left field is a return to the donor class. It's like they start to say something that might actually be an idea to help people and they get an electro-shock to remind them that the 1% won't go for that.

[TexasTowelie]

139. Left field would be a good thing.

They are in the foul territory outside of first base.

[nolabear]

131. Is it over yet? Can I go shower?

How can so little substance feel so icky?

[Agschmid]

134. Last question.

All about #Hillary

[L. Coyote]

132. Love the 1950's Commie scare before the break, "This is how socialism starts folks."

The tried and tested fear buzz words of the McCarthyite Birchers are alive and well in the Gullible Old Party.

[nolabear]

133. "We have to take our government back. This is how socialism starts."

You know, with people taking their government...oh, wait.

[L. Coyote]

166. The logic is all out of proportion.

It is ours already, and taking it is somehow inferred to be bad so we gotta take it because .... fucking commies give us back our power to destroy the world.

[Agschmid]

138. Red baiting...

[Alittleliberal]

136. Rubio

That's a great question and let me begin by answering it.

[BlueStater]

144. He really said that?

That's as bad as his "nation building" line. Well, maybe not THAT bad.

[Alittleliberal]

148. I missed that one

Just tuned in.

[spiderpig]

137. OK, when Fiorina talked about how as a CEO she fought to save jobs

I just effing lost it. Is this woman delusional or what?

[Agschmid]

145. Yes.

[emulatorloo]

156. Yes n/t

[nolabear]

140. Waving Hillary at them like a red cape.

She's a formidable foe. But man that was smarmy.

[L. Coyote]

172. How did they get thru that without going all Benghazi, I'll never know.

[Agschmid]

141. FYI...

Hillary came up with the congressional exemption to Obamacare.

[RKP5637]

146. Can't figure if Ted Cruz reminds me more of grandpa Munster or Joe McCarthy. n/t

[Agschmid]

149. I choose both.

I know that wa a super helpful.

[Person 2713]

161. Al Lewis I think was a nice guy so maybe stick with Mc C

As a left-wing activist, he hosted a politically oriented radio program on WBAI and ran as Green Party candidate for Governor of New York in 1998. In that race he sought to be listed on the ballot as Grandpa Al Lewis, arguing that he was most widely known by that name. His request was rejected by the Board of Elections, a decision upheld in court against his challenge.[15] Despite this setback, he achieved one of his campaign objectives. His total of 52,533 votes exceeded the threshold of votes set by New York law (50,000) and hence guaranteed the Green Party of New York an automatic ballot line for the next four years. (See Election results, New York governor.) He said that, with no political machine and no money backing him, the likelihood of winning the governorship would be like climbing Mount Everest barefooted.< Wiki

[RKP5637]

170. Yep, I think that would be a good choice!!! n/t

[nolabear]

147. Oh, God...please let it be over.

[femmocrat]

150. I can't take it anymore.

Goodnight, all!

[RKP5637]

163. ...

[riderinthestorm]

152. Yeah, I go on record it's gonna be Rubio as the nominee nt

[nolabear]

155. If he can't capitalize on this he will never be able to run.

I can't say I'd be thrilled but it seems likely.

[Person 2713]

173. Yep that little piggie goes all the way to the free market but not wee wee home to the WH

Rubio at the least will be VP if not their P numbinee

[RKP5637]

154. OMG, my TV screen just froze with Trump pointing his finger at me. Seriously!

Must be network problems here.

[TexasTowelie]

157. Oh my! Rand Paul said that the world is 4.5 billion years old.

Heresy!

[Agschmid]

159. He even said humans have a hand in climate?!?!

[Agschmid]

160. So I'm going to bed, early morning tomorrow but have fun y'all.

[nolabear]

164. Don't leave us! They won't shut up!!!

[herding cats]

167. Thanks for the threads.

I couldn't stomach it tonight, but I still appreciate what you did here.

[emulatorloo]

162. "This could get interesting" trotted out again.

[world wide wally]

165. Hillary or Bernie will destroy any of them, but how sweet would it be to see Elizabeth Warren

carve them up completely?

[nolabear]

169. Wouldn't it though?

[riderinthestorm]

168. Anyone noticing the deliberate LACK of attention on TRUMP?

he's not getting nearly the obeisance as before

[nolabear]

171. I'm telling you, he's jumped the shark.

He was fun as a one night stand, but then he turns out to be a boor.

[RKP5637]

176. His entire posture has changed. Maybe he's been hanging around with Jeb. He looks/acts totally bored

[Person 2713]

180. Maybe Carson shared his meds

[RKP5637]

182. He seems to have some good stuff, must be!!! n/t

[Kali]

184. !

[RKP5637]

174. Carly Fiorina reminds me of an animatronic robot! n/t

[Person 2713]

177. The comments on the online stream are hilarious too if you get a chance but you have to go to Fox

So no link

[Whiskeytide]

178. "Through the fault of both parties" is ...

... republican debate speech for "we did it but the democrats didn't stop us".

[L. Coyote]

179. They reek of desperation when lying about Clinton.

[L. Coyote]

181. Haven't watched Fox before. Do they end all their shows with 'Our show was just so riveting'?

[L. Coyote]

183. Time to start a group: Philosophers for Republicans

finally a political party that understands the welders make more than we do
