November 10th Republican debate on Fox Business Network - Official Thread

[CPUd]

If he's doing press today, it could be a big $ day:

The debate part of the plot looks like the moneybomb part of the plot.

Lol did Rubio just said "The most important job is being a president" when he wanted to say "the most important job is being a parent"? Or did I mishear?

Hehe found it in the transcript:

"The most important job any of us will ever do is the job of being a president (sic), because the most important institution in society is the family."

Meanwhile the establishment rags (The Economist, Bloomberg.com) are saying Bush did great in this debate, lol

Likely also written days or weeks in advance.

I am amazed how they seem to be trying to pump Rubio now, especially after he got slammed a couple times by Paul. I really dislike Rubio.

Ed Rollins was just on Fox News pumping the crap out of Rubio and Cruz. He also said Rand should be the first to drop out and go take care of his senate seat.

Fox is in love with Rubio

Wow to both! The second one is gold!

But if he does somehow pull off an upset and get the Republican nomination — and the Rand Paul who showed up Tuesday night sticks around — the GOP might just have its strongest general election candidate.

I saw that too.

It's just embarrassing for Fox to keep putting this narrative out there. Especially when Rand clearly won that debate.

His comments about it being naive to think that we would stop talking with the Russians or that we would shoot down Russian jets in a no fly zone are spot on. They also made him out to be the only adult on the stage.

Called away during the live "real debate". I haven't looked for a better ad-free version of the "real debate" so I'm working off this one.



Rubio breaks character and grins at the 54:36 "isolationist" exchange....that grin from Rubio- I just lobbed a load of b.s. about you and some of the crowd didn't go for it, funny huh?

Then boom -right into character again with the Can't be a conservative right now because we have boogey-men that want to kill us.

I demand better writing and actors for this puppet show! It's like they're not even trying! (again) lol

 

[Dary]

Rubio is delusional.

We have the strongest military in the world already.

Isn't the stat something like we spend more than the next 10 nations combined?

How much more do we need to spend?

Besides, Rand isnt' saying we need to cut spending that makes us safe.

We need to cut the spending that doesn't make us safe.

Obviously there are no conservatives left in the media.

Rubio is blabbering on about extremist cutting the heads off of Christians in another country.

Extremists who were created via the policies that he supports.

Yet the f*cked up talking heads who shouldn't be influencing the vote to begin with, can't even use their own brains to see that.

Pundits from The Week to the generally libertarian-hating Salon credited Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul for winning last night's Republican presidential candidate debate aired on Fox Business News. The Week said Paul was "the calmest, most relaxed" guy up there and won for offering opinions on foreign policy that might have the most independent appeal, vital for national victories if not for getting GOP audiences to applaud. Salon found Paul winningly coherent and reasonable and willing to say things the GOP red-meat audience might not want to hear.

Vox declared him a winner, if not the winner, for making himself flashy and relevant tussling with Marco Rubio over fiscal conservatism and militarism and fact-checking Trump. National Review, generally not a pal to Pauls, also gives him a winner status for being "more cogent and less peevish" than they think he usually is. (A different NatRev writer hat tipped to Paul for being right in opposing a Syrian no-fly zone.)

The Washington Post gave him credit for having a "strong" debate and both the Los Angeles Times and Vanity Fair gave him cool points for being the only person smart or brave enough to point out Donald Trump seemed to believe, mistakenly, that China was a party to the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade pact.

OMG Salon said something positive about Rand? I think the sky is falling.

Salon says something positive about Rand Paul and agrees he won last nights debate.

Charles Krauthamer defends Rand Paul against Bill O'Reilly.

What the hell happened? Is the sky falling?

Krauthamer despises Trump, so he praised Rand because he made Trump look the fool on TPP.

Marco is the chosen one it seems. He is the perfect establishment shill

I've said it from the beginning. Jeb! was just a distraction to make people think he was the chosen one, when in reality it's Marco.

 

[luctor-et-emergo]

Although, I'm annoyed that Cruz and Kasich got the most time.. you have to be impressed with how well balanced this debate was on talking time.

It was a pretty decent debate. Looked a lot more like an actual debate than all the others before.

The longer speaking time really makes it more interesting, it goes past bullet points a bit. Also the moderators seemed to be fair when allowing rebuts. And yeah, when it's a fair debate, Rand shines.

While in earlier debates a lot of people called him the big loser, this time even critics are calling him a winner.. Good stuff.

But Marco has no game. Hillary would be moping the floor with him. I am afraid the establishment will have to support our guy. I think they might be OK with Rand getting the nomination at this point. They still think they might orchestrate the general election to make sure Hillary wins. GOP nomination is not important at this point for them.

Easy poll to vote for Rand...
