October 28th Republican debate on CNBC - Official thread

Cruz likes pot brownies?

He's doing everything he can to appeal to liberal / libertarian / anti-msm voters and sadly I think he did a good job. I honestly believe he had advance knowledge of what was gonna happen in the debate and had these answers crafted. Same with Rubio.

 

[Jan2017]

Cruz just brought up - not gonna have that beer, but maybe some "tequila or those famous Colorado brownies"

Looks like Cruz is going to win this one. I was hoping Rand would do exactly what he's doing.

This is a bad night for us.

LOL, I'm pretty sure that Huckabee knows that just saying the words "400 pound man on a diet" is gonna hurt Chris Christie's feeling..

LOL he even mentioned Krispe Kreme donuts

 

[Jan2017]

OK second half - Rand needs to engage, the talk has been furious with Trump and Carson silent.

 

[Crashland]

I hardly even noticed that Rand is in this debate.

Shot of tequila on top of a Colorado pot brownie... I present to you the Ted Cruz Special!

It was not exactly a secret they were going to ask stupid questions. Last debate, Huck was the one to complain.

Perfectly pre-crafted answer. It caters to hispanics and pro legalizers. This damn debate seems so friggin scripted I'm thinking of just turning it off.

How well do you expect Rand to do when he's gotten one question in an hour?

He could interject more forcefully. Also show more passion.

However, it's also bad because Cruz is doing very well. He holds a big chunk of potential Paul voters.

Not only that, but being last means by time they get to him, people have already called out the previous BS and took the "fuck you media" stance like Cruz is doing. Any rebuttal will happen before it makes it to Rand, thus he has no chance at any great sound bites. He has to find a way to blow it away when it's his turn, but he gets shitty questions that keep him on the defense.

 

[r3volution 3.0]

Honestly, it's his delivery. He needs to show the passion of some of the others.

vulgar demagogic reality TV nonsense =/= passion

...then again, most voters can't tell the difference, so...

http://www.cnbc.com/voting/ who is winning debate - Paul

 

[PCKY]

I think Rand is OK...if he gets bombastic he gets accused of being a bad sport.

Rand is playing this like the Senate floor - wait your turn - this is faster than that.

Trump up first for second half kickoff.

And that is how stupid voters vote unfortunately.

The current frontrunner tho...

 

[CPUd]

LOL they got psycho Cramer on the panel.

Considering how a few thought Paul's attack on Christie looked petty...
