CNN republican debate thread

[ivwshane]

As always rand has a good response to the question of legalized marijuana.

Ted Cruz may be the most annoying person ever.

 

[Franz316]

No mention of medical care alternatives, education costs, or ridiculous inequality.

 

[ivwshane]

Admittedly, it doesn't really accomplish anything, but it is funny to see Jeb's response to being told that his brother did a shitty job.

It's even funnier watching them tell each other how safe w bush kept us, totally ignoring the largest attack on US soil since Pearl Harbor! Even funnier still is how they all claim Obama is making us less safe.

Ted Cruz may be the most annoying person ever.

I wish he'd drop out next even before trump.

 

[Balt]

Wow. Carson won't even clearly state that's he pro-vaccine. He's either spineless or a moron.

 

[Sinsear]

Anyone who is anti vaccine is a fucking moron.

 

[dr150]

For shits and giggles, I want that clown Trump to make it all the way to become the Republican nominee.

Too much "WTF did he just say?" entertainment factor there.

Guy's a joke.

CNN set up this debate for Fiorina. When they were selecting the top 10, Fiorina was in 11th place, so they "skewed" the numbers to "tie" 10th, making 11 seats, allowing #11 Fiorina in.

But since then, Fiorina climbed a little and #11 was Christie.
They could have kept to their original 10 seats, and Christie would have been at the "kids table" where he belongs.

Sounds like affirmative action. Think she is in favor?

What's her stance on abortion? For the question of what woman should be on our currency she gave a good speech about how it was a meaningless gesture and that real change will come when women can live their lives the way they want to.

It's funny to hear the right talk about Obama as the messiah while watching a debate in the Ronald Reagan library while telling us how much they like Reagan and how they will be like him.

If Reagan was alive I'm sure these guys would perform oral on Reagan in front of everyone just to show how much they love the guy.

Reagan is the rights Muhammad!

Agree.

Wow, on a delay with dvr just watched Trump ramble about vaccines..... Was he an anti-vaccine guy and just tried to walk it back?

People who are done:
Walker

Based on this debate? I disagree, I didn't see any clear winners or losers.

I just mean they didn't show up. They are clearly the caboose of the train and it's clear to me at this point they won't head to the front.

Nothing really fantastic happened this round. If there was a standout, I'd say it was Ben Carson. He was much more visible and powerful this debate. I don't think anyone really hurt themselves.

 

[PokerGuy]

I liked Carson, Kasich and Trump. Fiorina is a pompous ass IMO, she's just plain annoying and has all the charm of a pit viper -- she's the gop's version of the hildabeast. Cruz was his typical idiotic self, and it's obvious Rubio and Christie have no business being in this race.

Hopefully now some of these guys (and gal) will drop out so we can get down to actually evaluating candidates that have a chance to win something.

 

[MomentsofSanity]

I think this debate went too long. I'm pretty sure I'm seeing things now due to exhaustion or Scott Baio was just shown in the post debate crowd...

 

[dmcowen674]

All they all did was agree with Trump on everything.

 

[Strk]

It is kind of hard to shorten it while having that many people on the stage.

I didn't think the debate went too long only because this debate offered more substance than any previous republican debate over the last few years.

 

[MomentsofSanity]

It is kind of hard to shorten it while having that many people on the stage.

I was just making fun of myself for being able to pick Scott Baio out of a crowded room.

:\

Questioning does not mean anti

If we don't ask "Whats this shot for?" "Is this safe?" "Should this be done differently?" that doesn't make you an anti-vaccine moron

I ask those questions and make educated decisions on what is safe and what isn't. If you blindly trust Pfizer

Kind of like going to the mechanic. It's your car, you should have a say about what gets put into it. If you blindly go in and say, "Just do whatever you think is right" you would sound like a moron. Also, if you say "No, nothing you do is safe" you would also sound like a moron


Trump clearly said he wasn't anti vaccine. Carson clearly was not anti vaccine.

Well said. Vaccines make sense, that much has already been clearly proven. That doesn't mean we should blindly say "yep, all vaccines are great!" blindly without evaluating each one.

He still seems to believe there is some connection between autism and vaccines though even though there is zero evidence for it.

I would agree with some of them with spreading out the vaccines a little bit though. TDAP and MMRV should stay with their current schedule though.

 

[alcoholbob]

Ben Carson won the debate IMO. Rand Paul though...its been two debates. He cant channel his inner Ron very well.
