9/16/15 Republican Debate - OFFICIAL Thread!

[Patrick Henry]

What does trump think about weed? I actually wanted to hear him chime in.

He will have the greatest weed ever.

Better to ask him about cocaine.

We are up to the "women's health issues on our recording. Fiorina, Kasich, and Christie went for the jugular. These were some very powerful voices. Rand is silent. What is up with that?

Senators not doing so well here. Governors and former governors are killing. Trump has clearly done his homework and so has Fiorina.

 

[Jonderdonk]

I thought he did.

Rand totally scored big. And he got the last word. And Carly agreed with him.

 

[squarepusher]

wow Carly Fionna's son died from marijuana! I feel horrible for her.

 

[r3volution 3.0]

it's true, it's true

Marijuana is a "gateway" drug to Rudy Christie . . .

Marijuana --> Doughnuts

Doughnuts --> Congestive Heart Failure

 

[Liberty74]

Rand is making the leftist argument for marijuana legalization. It's not going to go over well with the GOP audience.

Maybe not the audience but A LOT of Republicans smoke up or have.

 

[Peace&Freedom]

Rand is making the leftist argument for marijuana legalization. It's not going to go over well with the GOP audience.

No, he framed it based on the medical instance and states rights, whereas Christie tried to paint it based on recreational use.

 

[Kotin]

Man I'm proud of him and he interjected and responded like 4 times.. Love to see the time totals now lol

 

[timosman]

I was expecting Rubio to mention antidepressants as the reason.

 

[Jan2017]

I just noticed - Rubio talking about criminals and guns - he has really HUGE ears, fwiw

 

[1776Redux]

Can someone get a youtube grab of Paul's stance on MJ and the disproportionate impact on the inner city? It would have great play on social media.

Bonus points for the grace with which it was delivered.

Keep watching, you will like the last hour.

 

[Patrick Henry]

Don't look at me Cruz

 

[PaleoPaul]

If anyone noticed, Christie's comments on weed got VERY weak applause!

 

[economics102]

That was a bit of a risky gambit switching the focus to medical marijuana, Rand is lucky the moderators let him have the last word instead of Christie.

 

[Southron]

It gets better.

 

[ThePaleoLibertarian]

he needs to stick with the 10th amendment and medical marijuana argument.

I agree. Talking about how it hurts the poor blacks is A) not entirely true and B) not something that goes over with the GOP. Talk about the how the drug war is wasteful and unconstitutional; far better strategy.

Deep breath guys.. Those last several minutes and the foreign policy answers made this a great debate for Rand. Everyone knows he is unique after this debate. I expect people will remember him better now. Solid last hour
