Fox News 2016 Republican presidential debate in Cleveland - Official Thread

[DFF]

Huckabee is a rerun we changed the channel on 8 years ago.

Agreed. The only difference between the Huckster today and in 2008 is he's little grayer. Otherwise he's exactly the same.

I'm not a huge Huckabee fan, but he did a very good job at distilling issues and putting a fine point on it. His analysis of the Iran deal was really well presented. People will remember, "We couldn't even get four hostages out. We. got. nothing."

As much of a court jester as Trump is, rooting for him just to stick to those arseholes at Fox is fun. What does it say about having the right enemies? My lord they'd support Hilary over him.

US media is owned by moderate neocons. Fox owner hosted fund raiser for swc Hillary.

Fox seems to like Cruz's performance. I am not bashing him I just didn't really think he was questioned much or did much with his questions. I could be wrong.

This focus group is a joke.

 

[devil21]

Same old Luntz and his fake focus group bullshit. No Rand supporters allowed.

They want to hang Megyn Kelly per the comments! I knew the ascendancy of Trump would draw out the true face of Faux!

She read Trump's sexually deviant tweets to the audience. How exactly was that unfair in any way?

 

[adam220891]

Cruz didn't speak at all - how can get change a voter's mind????

I thought her questions were amazing. She asked tough questions, but did so in a way that would allow the candidates to basically uncontestedly respond to them.

Rand has banners at top of Drudge asking for $20.16 donations.

Smart

Luntz' analysis group probably isn't randomly sampled so its opinion is meaningless.

LOL they apparently went in there Trump supporters and left Huck and Cruz supporters.

 

[fr33]

LOL Frank's group is so fickle. I'm also not buying this "Trump lost" meme. He acted like he always does. I wouldn't be surprised if his numbers are unscathed by this debate.

 

[NancyNYC]

That chart is SO MISLEADING. You can't compare $$$ you have to compare spending per GDP per country to compare apples to apples and our spending is not that off which is around 5%.

True.
Plus, for what it's worth and to really confuse the situation, it should be remembered that the defense budgets for some of the countries in the list include significant subsidies from the U.S. It's not stated if that has been figured into the total defense budget for the U.S. My guess is it probably hasn't been.

 

[devil21]

Notice how Huckabee's sign appeared after Luntz group said Huck did great?

Mind control programming right in your face.

 

[DFF]

What more could he have possibly done? He was better in this debate than Ron ever was during his GOP runs.

No way.

Rand's better than the majority of candidates, and is a better speaker than his father ever was, but he's more of a statist, isn't as sharp and feisty as the old man.

Rand's a Ron Paul light.

 

[enhanced_deficit]

Cruz didn't speak at all - how can get change a voter's mind????

Through prayer to g-d.. at the next pro Israeli occupation rally.
He is mentally subdued.

Cruz didn't speak at all - how can get change a voter's mind????

It's retarded! I mean he did give 1 good answer about the budget.

Not sure why. She and her crew were equally antagonistic against all candidates on the stage so I think no blame should be laid. Rand did quite well on the spot w/ Christie in a large part. If you don't rally behind Rand at this point, then maybe next time to get your stuff moving.

I hope so. Last time I ran an Ad on a busy website I spent $400 in a matter of a few hours.

 

[BSU kid]

I would rather have MSNBC host a debate, it would still be a sham, but at least we wouldn't have to deal with all this neocon propaganda.
