Fox News 2016 Republican presidential debate in Cleveland - Official Thread

General impressions of the final remarks
John Kasich - should have been at the training debate table
chris cristy - yawn..still trying to ride the 9-11 wave
Rand - fillibuster - different kind of republican - good tag line
Rubio.. cuba.. American Dream
Ted Cruz - recind all ex orders - also Cuban
Ben Carson brain humor
The Huckster - humor
Scott Walker (little kids table) what will I remember.. bald spot
Bush - SOS yawn
Trump - agressive - blathering

I think in the next polls, based on that debate, the following:

Rand will probably maybe go up slightly but not much
Trump will probably go down some
Bush will stay in 2nd about where he is
Rubio will go up because he got a lot of questions and they were softballs
Kasich will go up a lot because he did pretty well and people will get to know him better
Cruz will go down because he was ignored
Carson will go down because he just wasn't very interesting
Huckabee will probably go up a little because he has very good answers that were funny and full of republican red meat but not too dangerous.
Christie will not go anywhere because, besides the debate with Paul, he was forgettable.
 
When FOX showed the Rand/Christie clip, they conveniently left out the FIRST HALF of Rand's biggest zinger which was "I don't trust President Obama with the phone records of Americans. I understand you gave him a big hug..." They only replayed the part about the hug
 
Going back to the start of the debate and the pledge to support the eventual nominee, Tump raised his hand to say he would not make that pledge. If he went third party, who would run with him? Who would serve in his administration?
 
I though Kasich shined. I actually supported him back in 1996 but Rand could use him on his ticket cough cough OH.
 
Brit Hume saying Christie won that exchange. In his dreams. In fact how distasteful was it using 9/11 victims to boost up his own image.

well it was exactly like the paul/gulliani dust up. Paul won and was very right, gulliani lost and tried to use dead 9/11 bodies to win and fox said that gulliani won anyway.
 
Check out the strategically placed signs behind Hume. Not accidental that it's Bush, Walker, Fiorina. That's called programming.

Make mental notes of Luntz's "forum" participants. You'll see them again next time ;)

9/11 is the best thing that has happened to Christie, and he won't let us forget.
 

lol that looks familiar... granted Rand could have had an extra 2-3 minutes if he actually expanded on his answers instead of just saying 5 canned sentences.
