University of Houston GOP debate *** Offical thread ***

compared to the others he's a non-interventionist.

Trump’s nationalism could be destructive

He is more of a Jacksonian, in this view, America should vigorously pursue narrow national interests and seek to be feared rather than loved.

Trump’s version of American nationalism without reference to American principles is Putinism by another name.
“The great need today isn’t to ‘beat’ core allies such as Mexico and Japan, while working with Vladimir Putin,”

George Mason University’s Colin Dueck explains diplomatically.

Trump promises actions—such as forcing the Mexican government to fund the great wall and Trumps move to impose massive tariffs against China would earn derisive laughter at the World Trade Organization

Less gently put, Trump would be a president who could not reliably tell America’s enemies from its friends. He contemplates actions such as weakening American security assurances to South Korea that might invite war

Christie definitely has the toughness needed to go after people like the Clintons and Soros' of the world, but he doesn't have the inclination. I hope Trump picks a solid conservative for that spot.

I think you are mistaken, but I guess we'll see.

Jindal is such a neospook.

Bobby Jindal, Rubio surrogate, on Trump's parade marshal/Israel line: "That's like saying, 'I have Jewish friends.'"

So we should take our marching orders from the WTO, because we wouldn't want them to laugh at us, right? You were that kid in school who did everything the "cool" kids said because you wanted to be cool too, weren't you? They can laugh all they want while we pull out of their little reverse Robin Hood club. It hasn't been beneficial to us, and we've given up our sovereignty for it.

First real debate of the entire cycle. Now follow it up with massive investment in ads before Super Tuesday or it's wasted.

I come along and squash it:

@DavidAFrench It's over. He jumped out too far running as a non-politician.

lol you always attack me but never debate the argument I'm making.. You're like Trump just call me stupid.

Because you don't make any arguments, you just mock Trump and his voters. He's stupid.. they're stupid blah blah blah. If you can't handle getting it in return, then don't dish it out.

The NRO's Twitter Corner is somber. I almost feel sorry for them. Almost..

Nope sorry.. Trump doesn't support free trade, he doesn't support free markets. He is the opposite of Ron Paul, get over it.

I missed his comments on that. What did he actually say?

Something about locking Cook in a room with a security team and not letting him out until he agrees to a deal.

Crazy person alert.

What has Donald Trump done for Israel: NOTHING.

Crazy person alert.

SMH, someone needs to ask him what Israel does for the US... other than the obvious false flags to pull us into perpetual wars.

I can be such a dick to loyal Neocons.

@jpodhoretz In SEC country? Seriously?

 

[AngryCanadian]

What has Israel that was a beneficial thing for America in the middle east?
Can any NeoCons name me that?

This love fest over Israel in US politics is making me ill.

Watching Trump start to move to the center in preparation for the general election is like when the velociraptors learned how to open doors.

I think sucking Israeli's dick in public is not appropriate. Can they keep it on the down low?

Republican debate: 5 things to watch

All the candidates are still on the ballot. Vote your conscience, vote for Rand".

Do you actually believe all the crap you spew given that you are a liberal?

I don't support free trade either because there is no such thing. While we are being nice and playing fair, other countries are protecting their economies. With "free trade" everyone wins but us.

This debate is really bad without Rand in it.

I absolutely despise Cruz, but as bad as he is I thought he'd at least be somewhat better on civil liberties. Yet, like the rest of them, Cruz came out against Apple. Cruz stated repeatedly that he will "fight for the bill of rights" and then he comes out against Apple.

You are so right... Rand's voice was sooooooo needed in this debate. It's sickening that not one person on that stage even cares about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
