The OFFICIAL (10/11/11) Debate Thread! - Bloomberg / WaPo @ Dartmouth

[VictorB]

Cain is unreal, you can't beat this guy. He will lie straight to your face like it's not big deal.

You could say:

You: Mr. Cain, you were quoted as saying the sky is green. The sky is actually blue, sir.
Cain:That is incorrect, the sky is green, and according to my 9-9-9 plan, the sky is obviously green.

the hot moderator is getting some face time now on bloomberg

 

[CavortingChicken]

what did that guy in the audience rant about that distracted everyone towards the end?

 

[Schiff_FTW]

I just read the reuters and NYtimes articles on the debate and not one mention of Ron Paul (but plenty on candidates polling lower)

 

[acptulsa]

So did the debate suck? I didn't get to watch.

Did you ever see the WWE? Ron Paul swam through a shark feeding frenzy and came out unscathed.

Whether it was obvious enough how superior he was to give him a bump is something we don't know yet.

 

[Zarn Solen]

From what I gathered from the other candidates:

1) Outside of Johnson, I think the most likely candidate to endorse Paul went from Bachmann to Newt. Newt showed some visible gestures of agreeing with Paul. It looks like Romney and Bachmann have a deal with one another.

2) Cain and the Ricks are completely lost.

He can lie all he likes because he knows the MSM will never call him on it.

Newt is going to go with Cain

Anyone else get the feeling that a majority of Americans are morons?

All you have to do is throw out a catch phrase "9-9-9!" "9-9-9!!!" and it sticks....

Inevitably, people start talking about politics and then it becomes, well that Cain guy has a plan! It's a 9-9-9 plan! Brilliant!

Depressing.

I agree. Television has really made a lot of brainwashed couch potatoes who live off of 'Have it your way', 'Subway. Eat Fresh.', etc. People love food and slogans, and his plan sounds like a pizza special. Best of both worlds. How very shallow..

What ever happened to reading books for enjoyment/knowledge? That is actually looked down upon now as being strange or weird.

That's good, since Newt is seen by many to be the smartest candidate there, the "idea guy".

It looks like Romney and Bachmann have a deal with one another.

That was my thoughts when Romney question was an almost praising softball question to Bachmann.

 

[ZanZibar]

Juliana Goldman looks like she got a nosejob

No, I think she needs one though.

 

[eduardo89]

Will Ron be on later? If he is I bet he'll be last and they'll "run out of time" after half a question.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Newt's Job IS to steal Ron's talking points and sap that thunder he deserves. Newt would endorse Obama before Paul EZ. He's lying when he says anyone of the GOP would be better than BO. Push came to shove and BO is Newt's man.

 

[acptulsa]

Interesting selling point. Equally smart, agree on many things. but only one is so untrustworthy he got censured while a sitting Speaker.

The news has got nothing new to say....

 

[ctiger2]

Romney's question directed at Bachmann proves she's irrelevant. As a "front runner" the last thing you do is ask Paul, Cain or Perry a question.

I wish Ron would've asked Mitt a question about himself:

"Gov Romney, why is it that I get more donations from active military personal than all the other GOP candidates sitting at this table? AND if you were elected Prez when would you bring our troops home like I have suggested?"

 

[dan5430]

Anybody notice the Thomas Jefferson quote they used during the debate.....

Don't know why they didn't use the one we all know and love!
