October 28th Republican debate on CNBC - Official thread

[CPUd]

Rand 75% agree in live poll

 

[klamath]

Rand gave up the one thing that Ron was always able to rely on to differentiate himself: authenticity. Something Bernie Sanders has leveraged too.

Let's be clear: other candidates are hawking most of Rand's positions. What's the most important difference between Rand and the other candidates isn't the few positions where he's different, it's the fact that he's actually serious about his positions and the other candidates are not. Ted Cruz is not going to reign in the Fed. Etc.

People got it with Ron. They're not getting it with Rand.

You do remember that Ron ran for president 3 time and NEVER won a single primary. 90% of the republicans didn't "get it" with Ron

What percentage of agreement are the other candidates getting in the live poll?

Yeah agreed. Rand is just not good at this. He isn't charismatic enough, and all his (3 minutes of) responses just seem bland and bored.

They went to Rand - he was surprised but explained social security and medicaid are out of money and did great - then Christie tries to butt in.

Rand is absolutely right about social security but he's boring as hell. Christie is schooling him on how to present this issue

 

[RabbitMan]

On the bright side, the debate is in CNBC and can't be streamed online, I think this will have had the smallest viewership of any debate.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Yeah agreed. Rand is just not good at this. He isn't charismatic enough, and all his (3 minutes of) responses just seem bland and bored.

You are Rand hater. Your responses are not surprising.

10 or 11 candidates rubio?
whatever... deport them.

 

[CPUd]

What percentage of agreement are the other candidates getting in the live poll?

Kasich around 50/50
Carson 70/30
Rand 75/25

most others 50/50 or lower, from when I was watching.

Rubio admits that it's all about him. "I'm against anything that is bad for my mother."

 

[LatinsforPaul]

Vote for Rand...

Rand is the best on this but Christie is actually good on this issue too.

Listening to Fiorina is torture. If I had to pick one candidate to not be on that stage it would be her.

Kasich around 50/50
Carson 70/30
Rand 75/25

most others 50/50 or lower, from when I was watching.

[Jan2017]

30 secs Rand first in closing

Debt ceiling - no more debt.

 

[derek4ever]

Rand, where the hell is your uumph and passion, man?? Thank God this debate is almost over, what a dreadful show!!

I totally forgot about the debate tonight; replaying Skyrim takes precedence. What are the cliff notes?
