Another GOP debate tonight

[bripat9643]

None of the candidates is having an exceptional night. Questions have been weak and the answers have been weaker

Seems as weak as any other presidential debate.

The first two debates were better

Are they burning out so soon?

They still have too many candidates with little time for comment and rebuttal between them all.

Too make it fun, they should use a game show style approach in which up to three candidates buzz in to answer a question.

Question: Is the American tax code sufficient? If not, what changes do you suggest and why?

Can anyone name a color that ends in "urple?" lol

We all know how well things have wound up with 2 diametrically parties.

What's a "diametrically?"

John kasich is by far the most qualified presidential candidate in last 100 years.

hes an arrogant shithead- me me me.

He's the only candidate who's earned the right to be one on that stage.

ROFL! How did he do that, by sucking Obama's ass?

is it just me of John Kasish seems like an arrogant angry know-it-all prick?

Very petulant. He jumped out of the gate screaming he wanted to talk. The debate barely got started and he expected the entire thing to be about him and his stupid record.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Kasich was not really on the stage tonight, it was really Dennis Kucinich...

He was terrible and acted just as I predicted earlier. He didn't answer any direct questions and kept going back to what his record was. Terribly boring.

I do think that the real winners in this were Carson and Rubio. I think Christie was good and Cruz had some good moments.

All the online polls are saying Trump won by a big margin.

Trump didn't do bad but I would hardly call it a victory. Time will tell. We should have more results by the weekend. Myself, I thought Carson did outstanding.

Former CEO Carly Fiorina claimed that 92 percent of the job losses in President Obama’s first term belonged to women, but women — and men — gained jobs by the end of Obama’s first term.

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson said it was “total propaganda” to say he was involved with a controversial nutritional supplement company, but he appeared in promotional videos for the company, touting its products.

Christie makes me want to puke.

Is his salami that big?

I would vote for Trump or Kasich.
Kasich is real and balanced.
The others legislate the opposite of what they're espousing.

You do realize Kasick was on the Leman Brothers Board when they almost brought our country to it's knees?...Look it up!

He said he wasn't on the Board. We need fact check for the whole evening.

Fact Check | Donald Trump Wrong in Blaming John Kasich for Lehman’s Woes


While Mr. Kasich did work for the now-bankrupt Lehman Brothers, the truth is that he was hardly steering the doomed ship in New York. Mr. Trump claimed that he was on the board, which was not true.

Instead, Mr. Kasich worked out of a two-man office in Columbus, Ohio, on deals with other bankers. He has said that he shared no blame for the bank’s troubles, precipitated by risky mortgage investments.

If you missed the third Republican presidential debate of the 2016 race Wednesday night, our friends at It's All Politics have wall-to-wall coverage. If you want a quickie, here's a 100-word recap — and video clip — of what happened:

The third GOP debate was a heavyweight match but with quick footwork and well-orchestrated jabs that were responded to with masterful cross-counters. The surprise? Trump wasn't the only one punching. Bush went after Rubio for missing Senate votes. Kasich said Trump's platform was "fantasy." In a recurring theme, Cruz attacked the media and the CNBC moderator. Carson, who's been rising in the polls, stayed above the fray. The candidates also staked out real positions: Cruz vowed to eliminate the IRS. Trump called gun-free zones "a catastrophe." Carson proposed a cut to all government subsidies. Here are the three must-watch bouts:

They were all in agreement that the media is in the tank for the left. That stood out above anything else. The Dims get softball questions, the Republicans get 'how long have you been beating your mother' type questions. That's the real story. They got their points in so there was more than the few barbs some threw. Leftist retards (redundant, I know) can't process that level of discernment so here they are, bright and early, desperately puking up more filth and garbage in the hopes of dragging us further into socialism.

Anyone that thinks 100 words would be a fair analysis of their views is stupid, lying or both.

Christie: All that’s in that trust fund is a pile of IOUs for money they spent on something else a long time ago. And they’ve stolen from you because now they know they cannot pay these benefits and Social Security is going to be insolvent in seven to eight years.

Social Security benefits are not in any imminent danger.

It is true that Social Security has been paying out more in benefits than it collects in revenues since 2010. But the Social Security trust funds hold Treasury bonds — or the “pile of IOUs,” as Christie calls them — for past years when Social Security collected more in revenues than it spent. The trust funds at the end of 2014 held nearly $2.8 trillion in Treasury bonds.

Those trust funds have enough to keep paying full benefits until 2034, according to the Trustees of the Social Security and Medicare trust funds’ most recent report.

The media is biased against against Republicans. I know it's true because I saw it on Fox News.

LOL I doubt it

Commie Cruz's voice is worse than fingernails on a chalkboard.

A Hillary supporter calling Cruz a commie?

That's rich.

Cruz is a Cuban born in Canada. Is Cuba communist?

Cruz was born under that commie Canadian healthcare

Considering the only real qualification for being in a debate is saying "I'm running for president" that is pure nonsense.

Anyone who seeks his or her parties nomination has the right to be in a debate and show what they can do to the American people.

Outside his chosen profession, Carson is not that intelligent

I would take him on in current events and worldwide political issues any day

Trying to scare little old ladies into a vote, that is about as low as you can get. Most of the elderly don't have the internet to fact check so they count on lies to get their vote.
