[ChisolmTrailDem]

crispy says this country penalizes corps!

[BlueSpot]

5. FFS

[nolabear]

[nolabear]

9. A substantive debate? I'll grant they're not screaming "Kill! Kill!" right now but...

in 3...2...1...

[elleng]

11. You must have missed it!

[L. Coyote]

10. "Evil government" online might get you scrutiny, or you can be a candidate for President.

Wow, these Republicans are so anti-American. Cheering "evil government." Hate, hate, hate.[center]

[Onlooker]

12. This is the best place to follow the debate

For those like me who just don't have the capacity to watch those scumbags, threads like this are just great for getting a fair and balanced overview of what's happening. Thanks to those tough souls able to actually watch.

42. Three minutes of Jeb...complaining that Neil hadn't called on him much so he just

spouted off a bunch of run on sentences...enough for me.

[napi21]

13. Ypu know what the most frightening thing is about tonights clown show?

There are voters out there in TV land who believe what they're hearing! I've heard more lies tonight than I've heard for a very long time. I don't know if the candidates are just stupid, or if they're saying things they think the voters want to hear. The whole thing makes me sick!

[ChisolmTrailDem]

20. They are taking lies and their own made up ideas and attempting to argue which...

...set of lies and made up ideas are the best lies and made up ideas we need to run this country.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

30. It's not just the candidates lying this time. Cavuto and Bartiromo are beyond belief.

[narnian60]

43. Agree with you 100%.

[bullwinkle428]

14. SHIT! Rubio said something rational.

"How do you plan to collect your VAT tax if you abolish the IRS?"

[bullwinkle428]

15. Christie : "FUCK YES I'll push Grandma off the cliff in her wheelchair!"

[elleng]

16. OH FFS, Rubio's scary!

now, crispy's gonna tell us about 'entitlements.'

[yuiyoshida]

19. I wonder if

Krispy Kreme is an entitlement?

[nolabear]

18. Are they going into overtime?

I can't do much more of this.

[L. Coyote]

21. Hypothetical, Trump might become president. "Donald you are so super rich ..." Softball.

[libdem4life]

44. Seriously Effed Up.

[Friend or Foe]

22. Hey Chris.

Funny thing. Our constitution gives the benefit of the reasonable doubt to the criminal too. Funny that a prosecutor doesn't know that!

[rufus dog]

25. He lost the libertarian vote

Enforce the marijuana laws!

[MindPilot]

32. Christie has a typical cop mentality...

Everybody is a criminal until proven otherwise.

authoritarians frighten me.

[bullwinkle428]

23. "Dope smoking black president" - yeah, we get your dog whistle, Christie.

[joshcryer]

24. What were those protesters saying?

And, damn, they were silenced quick.

[DesertRat]

33. "We Want Rand"

[narnian60]

26. Bailing.

Murder, She Wrote --here I come so my blood pressure can normalize.

[a kennedy]

27. What was that chanting........eom

[DesertRat]

31. I think "We Want Rand"

?

[bklyncowgirl]

28. What was that chanting?

[L. Coyote]

35. We want Rand. We want Rand.

[L. Coyote]

29. Christie, "This President allows lawlessness across this country." Empty hate rhetoric.

[yuiyoshida]

34. Jin up the fear!!!

Republicans are so afraid of our southern border!

[MindPilot]

38. Republicans are afraid of their own shadows.

And they sure seem to like absolutes. Everything is black & white; no nuance.

[yuiyoshida]

46. They say they are ready to kick ass and take names

but they are just chicken hawks, who will send tv duck hunters AND militia to the boarders to pick off "TERRAISTS!"

[JudyM]

36. Cruz seems to be getting a helluva lot of airtime.

[elleng]

37. Oh good, rubio vs cruz!

[L. Coyote]

39. Rubio just mopped the floor with Cruz. Calls him a Bernie buddy too.

"No fewer than eleven attacks there ... half false." Cruz

[bklyncowgirl]

41. Ouch that hurt!

[DesertRat]

45. Which half, Ted?

[earthside]

40. Rubio just destroyed Cruz.

This Repuglican debate is a bloodbath.

I'd say only Trump and Kasich look a little less bloodied (Bush, Christie, Carson are collateral damage).

This is the first one of these Repuglican debates I have watched ... 'clown car' is way too kind ... 'demolition car' is more accurate.

[bklyncowgirl]

48. Wee Marco does know how to stick the knife in.

[elleng]

52. Yes he does,

and cruz came back with as much time as he was given.

[joshcryer]

53. Has been hilarious.

Rubio, Trump, Cruz.

[Beaverhausen]

47. Is it over yet? I'm not watching.

[L. Coyote]

50. Concluding statements starting. Just desserts after the food fight.

[elleng]

51. Shortly. Closing statements now.

[L. Coyote]

49. They really milk this for a lot of propaganda time.

Why are they showing #GOPDebate reruns? I've seen this episode multiple times.

[JudyM]

54. Krispy just slammed "special interests" - yeah, like he doesn't play the special interests game.

[bullwinkle428]

55. Now that fucker Cruz is flogging that new Benghazi movie.

[L. Coyote]

56. Cruz: Benghazi movie opens in 13 hours. LOL

[bklyncowgirl]

57. Maybe he's getting paid to mention it.

[L. Coyote]

60. He's probably in the movie!

[yuiyoshida]

58. LOTS OF SELF CHEST BEATING

Howling and puffing up their chests... These people are so insane and its amazing
they even have a following. Just insane.

[narnian60]

65. I know, I know, I know!!

[L. Coyote]

59. How many times did they mention their Republican buddies seizing a federal facility?

[earthside]

61. My take away from this debate ...

Trump won.

Marco Rubio really is one of the meanest, most bitter, uncharitable, extreme politicians I've seen on the national stage.
Trump is a lot of bombast, but I don't think he is as deep down hateful as Rubio.

Cruz got in some good punches, but he also took a lot of damaging incoming.

Kaisich looked the most reasonable ... but that is not saying much.

Bush, Carson, Christie ... who cares?

What awful bunch of people.

Democrats need to nominate Sanders because he will beat any one of this bunch and progressives will have the most progressive President since FDR, or ever! This is our chance -- we need to seize the day!

[elleng]

62. Yes he is MEAN,

and cruz not much better substantively without the mean maybe.

AWFUL!

[earthside]

63. This is the longest I've ever watched Rubio -- he's scary.

He comes across like a punk adolescent who tortures cats because he thinks it is god's will.

I think I have moved him to the top of my list of the most awful, rotten Repuglican presidential candidates.

[Maeve]

64. Kasich works very hard at looking reasonable. It's what he does

Governing reasonably....not so much.

[yuiyoshida]

66. despite all that he has a snow ball's chance in hell

of getting the nomination. Frankly, the GOP will probably fold their cards, and go with Trump, they have no one who will come out over the top, but Trump. Even if Trump were to pull out at the last second, there would be no one they would want to put up...that has any stamina at all.

67. In other words (and a meme):
