1st Republican debate

[ArcadiaGP]

Fiorina should be in this segment.

Rand on the Christie-Obama hug. Nice.

CC loves hugs.

Best line of the night, to Jeb, "A caliphate the size of Indiana..."

 

[Super Bee]

Rand- 1 Christie- 0

 

[bwframe]

Fiorina should be in this segment.

I'm betting she will be for the next one.

I disagree with Rubio about curriculum reform belonging at the state and local level unless by "local level" he means individual school districts. But I'm an education zealot...

 

[bwframe]

Huckaby got in the Fair Tax plug!!!

 

[ArcadiaGP]

guys i'm going to tell you a secret, don't tell anyone.

My wife, who I've been married to for 2 years and been with for... what... 10 years? She considered herself a liberal and a "feminist" when I first knew her. Back then, though, I also considered myself a liberal. (low information kind of person)

Well, here we are now... for the past few years she's been solidly Conservative... learned the wrongs of all her former feminist beliefs (gender studies in college, surprise surprise)... and she's watching the GOP debates right now.

I did good, INGO. I did real good.

The mother-in-law, however... I can't do anything about that. Sorry INGO. That's an ultra-feminist battle not worth having.

I am not a Jeb fan, but I wish they would stop bringing up his dad and his brother. That's BS.

About half of these guys are like the drunk uncle you invite over for Thanksgiving and hope he doesn't embarrass himself like last year.

Don't know about Carson yet. But Pataki, Fiorina, Kasich and Rubio are doing fairly well for a first debate. Too many bodies. The GOP really needs to appear a little more cohesive with a prescreen on some of these candidates.

Rubio is doing better than I thought. Carson is thoughtful, but needs a little more experience in the public space. I don't know if Trump would be a good President, but he certainly isn't going to take **** from people. Love his combativeness.

 

[Dosproduction]

Is there anywhere I can watch the thing in full. I missed 90 percent of it.

 

[PistolBob]

Introducing the next President of the United States...Donald Trump!!

His motto: "I'm better than Clinton"

 

[wagyu52]

Lol, Trump "I would say Obama is incompetent but that wouldn't be nice" priceless. Rubio is better than I expected, and I like Paul and to my suprise Huckabee.

 

[SSGSAD]

I like what Ben Carson, said ..... I am the ONLY one, to remove half a brain, but if you go to Washington, you would think someone else beat me to it .....

 

[wagyu52]

Ben Carson could be to good for the job.

 

[jamil]

No one really self destructed. I'm a bit surprised by that.

 

[bwframe]

Christy and sadly Paul looked like there is no hope for them. I did really like some of Rand's comments but overall he looks weak and he's caught up in Christy's circling the drain.

 

[wagyu52]

I think Rubio, Huckabee, Carson and Cruz did very well
Trump showed his true colors and I'm not sure of his real motives.
Please no to Bush and the fat man
Kasich, Paul and Walker IDK, not overly impressed but not bad.

 

[croy]

I've been told and haven't done my own research yet, but Carson is anti gun.

If this is true Carson is an automatic out for me.

Here is an interesting article
