Third Republican Debate

[blake0812]

Looks like Trump is buddy-buddy with Carson now. I see Carson as VP is Trump wins.

 

[UberNeuman]

Hey! I'm Jeb! Remember me? Huh, no?

 

[ivwshane]

Rands closing was horrible and amateurish.
Christie, the ultimate panderer!
Cruze, I broke Washington! Elect me!
Fiorina, lol, proven leader who produced results! Liar!!
Carson, that damn media again!
Trump, derp, derp! (Iran was the worst deal I've ever seen that I've never read)
Rubio, short and simple.
Bush, I am George bush jr the 2nd.
Huckabee, doom and gloom!
Kasich, not bad, all about togetherness.

Trump looks like he's gaining on Christie for lardass candidate 2016.

Maybe it's the camera angle, but he looks like a blimp.

It was the camera angle. He's doing an interview now and looks age appropriate fit.

 

[ivwshane]

Not a bad debate in my opinion.

I personally think kasich won but then again I like substance over style. The biggest looser was definitely trump.

Anyone else?

Debate clock:

Rubio: 8:44
Fiorina: 8:37
Kasich: 8:06
Trump: 7:44
Cruz: 6:52
Christie: 6:30
Huckabee: 5:47
Carson: 5:28
Paul: 5:03
Bush: 4:56

So the loser was Bush?

P.S. I too liked Kasich, he's the least destructive of the bunch

 

[blake0812]

Trump made himself the least looking whack job in it, Carson was slurring his words, and Rand was just Rand.

 

[blake0812]

Wow this bitch
>carson is the leader of this debate
The dude was stoned more than a rock.

Hope so; he sure seems to bounce around, weight-wise.

I don't think the amount of time spoken is a good indicator of who won. Trump, as always talks a lot but says very little.

 

[ivwshane]

Where are the righties at? I want to hear their take.

Questions were stupid. lame stream media in the bag for dems. Hillary sucks.

Should cover it.

Lol.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

In my opinion the moderators let them drift too far off topic.

 

[Linux23]

I give Rubio credit for having Moxy.

 

[Bitek]

IDK, kinda boring. Thoughts:

Bush went for the haymaker on Rubio and missed. He looks doomed. I thought there was an obvious comeback as Rubio compared his service in the Senate to McCain's. The guy that served for decades can take a pass on campaigning, but not so much the guy that just showed up.

But Bush fizzled out, (apparently didn't practice for that part, ) and so will his campaign.


Otherwise a rehash of previous points and a few new fantasy tax plans that will shower the rich but run massive deficits.

Kasich is the only one I could see voting for. The rest are jokers

It's funny that they think CNBC is full of liberals. If the questions the moderators asked seemed inflammatory, it's because the network is very sensationalist. It is definitely not because they are in the bag for the Dems.

Just watch some of the videos on YouTube of that buffoon Rick Santelli. The guy is a Tea Partier.

I thought it was funny that they got upset for the mods asking them questions on things they said about each other. They all say let's talk about the issues and then when on the campaign trail they do anything but.

I'll be honest, I think he adds a lot of value. He isn't afraid to do things like call Fiorina out on what a horrible job she did.

They weren't afraid to call out Rubio on his shitty attendance record.

Overall decent debate.

If I recall, it was Kaisch that went off on that whole "Biggest weakness" crap with something COMPLETELY and TOTALLY off-topic. It was baffling how much you can take a random question and say "Oh I know I'm supposed to answer that, but let me just address this other random speal of bullshit that is completely and totally unrelated"

Yeah Anderson Cooper did far better in his debate vs all the others. Megyn Kelly's debate was 2nd best.

One HUGE flaw in everything these republicans propose....

That sure, a private 401K might by itself without social security be fine for retirement, and sure doing away with medicare replacing with private accounts might be fine in theory, and all these things republican proposed would be fine ...."if".... and only if the working middle class had a decent living wage.

All these republicans dare fight against a decent living wage and then have the nerve to claim more people are on welfare under Obama, more mothers and women are unemployed, under Obama.
The reason some people are doing so bad is not nor never has been Obama, it is that republicans, these republicans, expect the poor to pull a decent living wage out of their own ass.

You can not do anything the republicans want, these republican proposals, unless the working middle class and the poor people have a decent living wage to invest into retirement, invest into private medicare, to invest into college, to raise their families.

NONE of which any of these republicans correctly did their math which is needed to equal their pie in the sky proposals.
The equation must always end with.... A DECENT LIVING WAGE.
No middle class worker can meet these republican set goals on $7.25 an hour.
Who is fooling who here?

Should the republicans gain control of all three sectors of government, life for everyone will become MUCH WORSE as all the social safety nets are ripped and stripped away by a republican controlled government.

Ever the top 1% would suffer under republicans because if there is no one to buy their goods and pay back their loans and make the car payments, even the top 1% will suffer under this republican YOUR ON YOUR OWN continuing trickle down economics scheme.

Continuing the illusion of Reagan's trickle down economics, ripping away the safety nets government provides and turning it over to the wage earners wallet would require a huge increase in the living wage for that wage earners wallet.
And THAT increase for a living wage every republicans on stage fought has against tooth and nail.

What this boils down to is more republican fantasy economics.
Where the middle class has about as much chance surviving during a republican economy as they would surviving on fantasy football.

And holy crap... Ben Carson.
Carson's math. Carson's logic.
Dividing the medicare budget by seniors on medicare to equal $12,000 per senior.
The doing away with medicare and giving seniors $12,000 per year to spend on their care.

Carson idiot thinking and math does not take into account that in reality, some seniors might spend $12,000 or less on a years healthcare, but what happens to the senior that must spend $300,000 in one year?
That senior who suffers a stroke or heart attack or fall or illness?

$12,000 for a stroke is NOT going to do it.....Ben.
Sorry Dr Carson. You're an TOTAL idiot.
Operate on your own brain for a change.

I would agree but I think that question is a totally bullshit and pointless question to ask at a nationally televised debate.
Personally I thought that how kasich answered it was a brilliant strategical move on his part that allowed him to set the tone and to make sure he got heard.
