Fox News 2016 Republican presidential debate in Cleveland - Official Thread

OK. So if Trump replied, really, where did you record your opposition? Do you have a news article like I do?

"Mr. Trump I challenge you to find any evidence that I ever supported the Iraq war. I have always opposed the Iraq war. In 2004 I was an ophthalmologist and 'the thing is' nobody was asking me for my opinions."
 
tell you one thing. rand has to get that smirk off his face when he isn't talking. he's gotta know just because he isnt talking doesnt mean the camera isnt watching and that smirk makes him look like a wise ass. having said that i thought he kicked christie's ass and i can see why he was smirking. probably been waiting to do that for awhile lol

You think that would've been a plus for Rand?
 
Don't read comments on TheBlaze. They all really love Ted Cruz.

And for good reason. My mother who will probably end up voting Paul in the long run, liked Cruz over everyone in this debate. As a pro-lifer, she was a little disappointed that Rand didn't sound off on this issue since he's leading the defund planned parenthood fight. Cruz did sound off.

Granted, there was no direct question about abortion to Rand Paul, but it would have been nice to include it somewhere throughout the debate.
 
Well..

Rand killed it, the Christie exchange was epic: it's being replayed and will continue to be replayed: Ron '08 Giuliani-style.

...by the way, where is Giuliani? Haven't seen him in a while...did Christie eat him?

Aside from obviously being correct on the issue, Rand also spoke in the proper tone, passionate and firm without being a douche.

....Speaking of douches, Trump is done.

His substance-less retarded ass will drop precipitously in the polls in the next two weeks.

Personally, I hope he kills himself in despair (and/or gets offed by El Chapo).

Bush was astoundingly bland; despite his $115 million, he's going to have serious trouble Romneyfying himself - this thing's still wide open.

Walker has the charisma of a wet noodle, which is precisely why the GOP media has been talking him up while minimizing his personal appearances.

...he'll benefit from the impending Trump-plosion in the short term, more than anyone else, but he's highly vulnerable longer-term.

Cruz, Rubio, and assorted others whose names are insufficiently important to remember, did nothing.
 
Rand Paul won the debate going away. Cruz stayed on message and did okay. Trump didn't implode so that's a win for him.

Walker and Bush have no charisma at all.

Christie revealed himself as a Stasi-loving fascist.

Rubio looked like a young kid, too green to lead.

Kasich was boring.

Carson was pretty good, but Fox shut him out.

Huckabee seemed old and out of touch.

Unfortunately this won't knock Bush or Walker out of the race. Maybe Kucinich and Huckabee will hang it up, and all of the JVers except Fiorina and Santorum.

Megyn is practically handling the "war on women" issue to Hillary to beat her opponents with. What promoters of this meme don't ever mention is that it is really a Democratic war to win back women, or enough women to do well in the Presidential election.

Their dirty little secret is Republicans won the women's vote 49%-48% in the 2010 midterms, only barely lost it (47%) in the 2014 midterms, and the GOP won the white women's vote outright 56%-43% in 2014. That's why they've rolled out the war on women rhetoric each time we go into a Presidential cycle. Trump is teaching the milquetoast moderates to not buckle and cower when that meme is pushed on them again in 2016.

not Hillary. Hillary won't even be their candidate, it will be Biden. Megyn is pushing Carly. partly for her own agenda, partly to please her bosses (who probably were not happy at what she did to Jeb)
Carly is the perfect puppet for the establishment. Walker hard to control, as is Jeb. note that Megyn destroyed Walker on the abortion issue. no one will vote for such a religious nutcase. he makes Huckabee to be a liberal. the establishment wants a Carly-Rubio (or Rubio-Carly) ticket
 
Rand closed well. The field needs to trim fast. Anyone have any idea when we will gl from 17 to like 7? Rand does well when he has more time to talk.

Between 10-12 the day before Iowa Caucus, probably 8 the week after NH Primary. 4-6 after Super Tuesday. Possibly a brokered convention, where the nominee will have little more than symbolic choice of running mate.
 
so it was obvious that megyn backs carly

Bush/Fiorina '16. Ailes must have gotten the memo from the CFR.

That has been the establishment's plan A team for years. Nothing new there. Plan B for the top of the ticket is Walker. Plan B for VP is Rubio.
 
was it intentional for Carly to be shelved in the undercard so she could dominate it?

The party and Fox News I believe would have liked to have her on the main debate, but she was polling way too low to justify it.

The Fiorina sign was in front of the camera all night for a reason. Kasich (Ohio) out, Fiorina (Cali) in. Next debate is Simi Valley CA. Of course the old HP exec will be on the main stage.
