Reason Livetweet of GOP Iowa Debates

News, views, and abuse from Reason staffers as Republican presidential hopefuls battle it out on Fox News in Iowa.

Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Jeb Bush, John Kasich and Rand Paul were all invited to the 9 p.m. main stage debate, moderated by Fox personalities Megyn Kelly, Chris Wallace, and Bret Baier, but Trump has begged off. The undercard debate, which begins at 7 p.m., includes Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum and Jim Gilmore, and will be moderated by Bill Hemmer and Martha MacCallum.

I don't want ENB's link to get lost in the twitter feed.

The Flickr album from her porn junket.

I can only hope that my Reason donation helped pay for it.

[commodious spittoon]

Two photos? I hope the nickel you donated was a shiny one.

[Internet hooligan]

At least the 3 girls all have boobs, it wasn't a sarcasmic post.

[MJGreen - Docile Citizen]

That's what she wore to a porn convention?

Bold.

[Hamster of Doom]

She's going to have a lot more than 192 views, now that you said that.

[Rich]

Hey, where *is* everybody? 😉

[Pan Zagloba]

At Trump rally, duh.

[The Heresiarch]

Go away. 'Batin.

[Old Man With Candy]

I need drinking game phrase suggestions here, people!

[Crusty Juggler]

Obamacare

[Old Man With Candy]

Mmmmaybe. Looking for that magic combination of non-obvious but inevitable.

[Old Man With Candy]

If Trump were in it, "Raphael." That's an example of what I seek.

[Crusty Juggler]

Fine!

[Rich]

"my opponents"

[Crusty Juggler]

"protect the border"
"tough on crime"
"sanctuary cities"
"comprehensive _______ reform"
"balance the budget"
"simple flat tax"

[straffinrun]

Sanctuary tax
Tough on budget
Protect the crime
Balance the border

[Heroic Mulatto]

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY VOTE!

[straffinrun]

Needs a gesture with that.

[Old Man With Candy]

The weird fist with non-pointing thumb gesture that they all use might be a silent cue for a drink.

[straffinrun]

They do that because they're confused and think they're on Jeopardy.

[Crusty Juggler]

"climb the mountain of conflict."

[Quincy.]

You sound like a Nazi Julie Andrews.

[Eman]

yer gonna get WASTED

[Old Man With Candy]

We always do. My tweets get progressively more incoherent as the debates unfold.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Knock that shit off. You're gonna ruin the 1st amendment for the rest of us.

[DenverJ]

Rand Paul roles his eyes, slam a whole beer

[Crusty Juggler]

Why did the young strawberry cry?
Because his parents were in a jam.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Only a Gamma would say that.

[Crusty Juggler]

I'm an ubersexual, get it right.

[Always a Carl, Never a Clyde]

More like an anysexual.

[Crusty Juggler]

I assume that is a compliment, so thank you.

[Heroic Mulatto]

I wouldn't fuck with "gammas".

[commodious spittoon]

Has anyone called you a nerd? I mean, today?

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

If I were a betting man...

[Heroic Mulatto]

Well, it's about time!

[MikeP]

Marco...

[DenverJ]

Polo?

[Mr Lizard]

*slowly slithers out of the water*

Marco bitches

[Jerryskids]

Damn, Mike Huckabee is my man? It's all the same group funding them all so it doesn't matter who you elect.

[Always a Carl, Never a Clyde]

The latest in brown immigrant horde menace news

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Seems like a sincere apology.

Has Crusty been told about her?

[MJGreen - Docile Citizen]

she said she'd broken up with her boyfriend of two years several minutes earlier.

Godspeed, Crusty!

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Have you watched the video? I bet Crusty is cranking down to it right now.

PURE CRAZY

[Crusty Juggler]

The duckface pic seals the deal.

[Crusty Juggler]

This photo of her is even better (worse for you freaks).

[Crusty Juggler]

Let me amend that statement: every photo of hers is the best.

[Always a Carl, Never a Clyde]

Christ, what is with her and eye shadow?

[EMD]

Covering up ugly?

[GILMORE?]

Would not

[Crusty Juggler]

I almost burnt dinner (chicken in a pan) because I was entranced by her photos.

[AlmightyJB]

She is not attractive. I probably still would though.

[Old Man With Candy]

Oh, would.

[OneOut]

"I think that I should also speak out to send a message out to people and the public to be careful and use my story as a lesson to be careful what you do in public because the things that we do can be taped, and we can have to suffer severe ramifications for these things.""

People should be careful because they can be taped. Not because they threw a bitch fit in public and got caught but because they can be taped and can't lie and bat their eyes at a fat cop drooling over my ass and believe me rather than the person I attacked.

She does have a nice ass though.

[Heroic Mulatto]

She should deported on the basis of of that fucking duckface instagram pic alone.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

She has a face? Oh, yeah. That's a shame.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

On closer inspection, she might have resting duck face. It's currently a recognized disability in 17 states.

[commodious spittoon]

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

[commodious spittoon]

This just proves we have to crack down on this undocumented menace.

Uber, that is.

[Mr Lizard]

Sooooooo for everyone else, I will live comment about my favorite asshole from New York. And I'll be watching CNN to do it. Take that worthless mammals!

[straffinrun]

They should all come out wearing Rick Perry glasses. Those turned the whole thing around for him.

[Mr Lizard]

Trump One has landed!

[straffinrun]

Huck evoking Maytag to demonstrate loss of manufacturing jobs. Guess he never saw those commercials.

[commodious spittoon]

Started watching High Castle last week. Up to the third episode. I'm thoroughly engrossed.

[Quincy.]

Watching Occupied. A Norwegian show about a near-future invasion of Norway by Russia. The premise is kind of squirrelly, but it's quite well done (the highest budget TV show in Norwegian history? $10 million dollars!).

[Mr Lizard]

On CNN they have a short little brother sportin the sweetness that is all about some Trump. My green privelege had a confused on this one

[Heroic Mulatto]

For years, Thailand has been the world's leader in all things "trans". Transgenders, Transsexuals, Trans-Ams, et al. So while we here in America have been banging rocks together over basic things like bathrooms, the Siamese have entered into a new era: Trans-Existence.

[Sevo]

"Trans-Ams"

WHAAAAT?

[straffinrun]

He meant "Tran-Sams"

[Heroic Mulatto]

Yes.

[Sevo]

Dog my cats!

[straffinrun]

Do those come with complimentary mullet?

[Heroic Mulatto]

Well, a reverse mullet.

[straffinrun]

Yeah, not falling for it.

[Bush League]

Trump's not there, I don't care.

[Bush League]

It makes more sense with an "if" at the beginning of it.

[straffinrun]

Carly's blinks match the movement of her mouth when she speaks. Erotic.

[GILMORE?]

I turned the thing on for a second. I'm having second-thoughts about my idea of actually-watching the debates.

Santorum seems to have attended a weekend at the John Boehner Tanning-Salon.

Also, is that Jim Gilmore? I am disappointed. I've never seen the man before. He has less charisma than Mike Huckabee. For shame, Jim. I am petitioning to have your Gilmore-card revoked.

[straffinrun]

C'mon. We need a Fiorina fashion check.

[GILMORE?]

(quickly looks at TV)

She seems to have raided the Red Queen's wardrobe

[straffinrun]

Good call. I was thinking more this.

[Internet hooligan]

She should dress up as the ice queen. She got that look.

[OneOut]

Also, is that Jim Gilmore? I am disappointed. I've never seen the man before. He has less charisma than Mike Huckabee. For shame, Jim. I am petitioning to have your Gilmore-card revoked"

All this time I thought they were one and the same ?

*scratched head and takes a sip...two sips... of beer*

[PapayaSF]

I can barely stand to hear any politician speak, even the rare ones that I kinda-sorta like.

[GILMORE?]

Now, Bill O'Reilly.

This is the first time i've actually watched him since.... 9/11 or so. I saw that show where he argued with Leonard Piekoff? (classic) and i once saw him argue with Jacob Sullum.

His shtick now? where he talks, and they print the exact same words on the screen to the right? seems designed for very-old people who can't follow what he's actually saying. It feels sort of sad. Like Political Sesame-Street for Old People.

[Internet hooligan]

Did they let Rand talk?

[GILMORE?]

silly rabbit, rand is on the main event

[Internet hooligan]

Umm... did they let him talk?

[Smilin' Joe Fission]

He's gagged and hog tied center stage.

[Internet hooligan]

Oh, you're saying it's still the little kids debate? They still have that?

[Internet hooligan]

Damn, I was really worried there for a minute, I thought they let that skinny horseface white bitch back on the main stage too.

[commodious spittoon]

Skinny Horseface Whitebitch is her Indian name.

[Internet hooligan]

Better hide the firewater from her, she looks kind of mean.

[EMD]

That's no way to talk about Rick Santorum.

[cavalier973]

What's the deal with the Sanka Coffee images on the Twitter page?

[GILMORE?]

The Internet Hugbox Has Now Been Invented

[AlmightyJB]

That's not the box I've been waiting for.

[DenverJ]

What's wrong with you?

[GILMORE?]

Bill o'reilly was on TV. I can't be expected to watch that, can i? I was forwarding something quasi amusing as a substitute.

[DenverJ]

That's damn near assault

[Internet hooligan]

You didn't actually play the video did you? That scary thing hiding behind the play button scared me off from that. I just read the text, that was enough.

[DenverJ]

Yeah me too. No way i was hit play

[Internet hooligan]

LMAO! Thanks for that, first good laugh I've had today.

[DenverJ]

You guys are never gonna make it to the main event if you don't pace yourself.

[Quincy.]

Wuhthayousay? Fuck you DenverJ.

*throws beer can at computer*

[DenverJ]

I larfed

[EMD]

SHonafdf roitfgak yiou

*throws computer at wine box*

[Internet hooligan]

See, that's why I never watch the little kid's debate, so that I can then not watch the main debate also. Works every time.

[GILMORE?]

Fox has convinced me = Bill OReilly will make the best president.

[Trshmnstr, terror of the trash]

*OReilly spinning in his office chair in the Oval Office*

"This is the spin zone!!!"

[Fist of Etiquette]

WHAT HAS MEGYN DONE TO HERSELF?

[Rich]

Toughened up in case Trump shows.

[Rhywun]

That hairdo is a little butch, ins't it.

[GILMORE?]

She was replaced with... who was Dolph Lundgren's wife in Rocky IV?

[GILMORE?]

This ladyperson

[Crusty Juggler]

Did you just "first" the debate? You are not human.

[Fist of Etiquette]

SOMEONE HAD TO.

[straffinrun]

This was drawn by an Ayn Rand fan or critic. Can't tell, but it's all over my FB page.

[EMD]

I'm making a "Did you watch Reds? It's great." version.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Go-gul? You go, gul!

[AlmightyJB]

Businesses will need to start putting out litter boxed now.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/new.....-body.html

[Fist of Etiquette]

Yeah, Christie, go with a narrow tie. Good choice.

[Rich]

LOL

[Fist of Etiquette]

Rand Paul gets quite the reaction.

[Internet hooligan]

The main event in on now? I can't watch it, I just can't.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Neither can I. I just wanted to have a quick look.

[straffinrun]

Marco promises to turn the country once and for all. That doesn't sound good.

[Hamster of Doom]

Scott Shackford @SShackford
First question is about Trump...

Boom.

Called it.

[GILMORE?]

I just learned that Jeb has a dad.

[Wizard with a Woodchipper]

and that THIS is why Jeb's Establishment. Jesus.

[Trshmnstr, terror of the trash]

Establishment Jesus.

"But I say to you, do not just resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him as a sign to the orbiting drone to blow up the wedding next door."

[TheZeitgeist]

Sleek Ms. Kelly is killing it this evening. Dayum.

[GILMORE?]

That was sort of a stupid first question for Rand.

"Why are you not as good as your Dad? (who no one really liked)"

[GILMORE?]

Rand also handles it well by saying, "Here's actual stuff I vote on"

[Quincy.]

"stitch together a Republican majority"

Sounds kind of serial-killery.

[Wizard with a Woodchipper]

Rubio war boner is out and swinging

[GILMORE?]

Interesting to watch the other candidates trying to steal Rand's mojo with the crowd.

[GILMORE?]

Kasich

"There's establishment, anti-establishment... then there's Me"

[Quincy.]

twirl a scalpel dammit.

[Crusty Juggler]

Is there a broach pinned to anyone?

[straffinrun]

Thought Christie did, but it was just a spaghettio stain.

[TheZeitgeist]

Then he noticed it, and of course ate it.

[GILMORE?]

Carson =

"I know nothing about politics!"
(vigorous applause)

[coloraDOOM]

I finished my beer.

[Quincy.]

Dabiq or bust!

[Steve G]

ISIS wants to trigger the apocalypse in Dabiq... so let's get in there and get em!

[TheZeitgeist]

Didn't apocalypse already roll through Dabiq?

[GILMORE?]

Cruz =

""I will tear ISIS apart with my own teeth!
After I bomb them into P?t?""

[straffinrun]

He eats pieces of shit like ISIS for breakfast.

[GILMORE?]

Rubio =

"I shall now carve an ice-sculpture of an ICBM with my Warboner"

[Quincy.]

S,o back to barbed-penises. Meow.

[GILMORE?]

Jeb is sitting in the corner thinking, "I better mention my dad again when they get to me"

[straffinrun]

It's gonna be one of these nights.

[DenverJ]

LOL

[Jerryskids]

IF I have to listen to Marco Polo keep insisting ISIS is the greatest existential threat to the planet since whatever the hell the latest Bruce Willis movie was I'm gonna puke.

[coloraDOOM]

Bathroom break?

[GILMORE?]

Christie needs his insulin injections

[TheZeitgeist]

Bathroom Buffet break?

[GILMORE?]

" Robby Soave @robbysoave

Rubio's neoconservatism is loathsome"

Dear Robby = "Neoconservatism" isn't "Hawkishness".

[DenverJ]

For cereal. Rubio is... Not perfect. But there is worse.

[Crusty Juggler]

Eh. He is pretty damn bad.

[DenverJ]

Sure. But the other options are Cruz, Trump, and Hillary.

[EMD]

The NSA thing is a non-starter with me.

[GILMORE?]

I have no feelings about Rubio at all. I just think its appalling that people who think they're "the smart set" use "Neoconservative" as a catch-all term for anything not "non-interventionist". There's more than one flavor of Warboner. ...

...

..ok, phrasing...

To be ignorant of the range of foreign policy theory is one thing, but to be ignorant of the specific nature of "Neoconservatives" and what made them unique is to have taken absolutely nothing away from the Iraq War.

Not all hawks want to "spread democracy". I don't think it makes them better or worse, it just not the same bloody thing.

[Winston]

The tendency to ignore how Wilsonianism, WWII hawks and Cold War liberalism influenced the neocons is quite ridiculous.

[Winston]

"Neoconservatism" isn't "Hawkishness".

Bullshit. Until the 1960s no one advocated foreign interventionism ever. McKinley, The Roosevelts, Wilson and LBJ were all retroactive neocons.

[GILMORE?]

The use of the term also pretends that "hawkishness" is somehow unique to this narrow strand of "Only associated with republicans for a very-short time"-theory

(neocons were all anti-communist liberals... hence the name)

is Obama "neocon" in aiding the bombing of yemen? Funneling arms to Syria is ....what? Is drone killing people in Somalia "neoconservative"?

Suddenly they don't have a vocabulary to describe warlike behavior by Democrats.

there's a dozen ways administrations can justify use of military force abroad. 'Neocon' arguments are an extremely narrow and rarely-appealed-to example of them. No one's claiming to want to "re-engineer" the middle east by destroying ISIS.

[Winston]

Suddenly they don't have a vocabulary to describe warlike behavior by Democrats.

I'm reminded of Raimondo complaining of the "neoconization" of the Democrats when he himself acknowledged how the neocons were disgruntled Cold War Democrats and that the Democrats have not been particularily non-interventionist since the 1960s.

[GILMORE?]

"
James Poulos @jamespoulos
It's good to have Rand Paul back in the debate. He's almost Owen Wilson level relaxed"

[GILMORE?]

Cruz making a strong play for the "Dick" vote.

[Wizard with a Woodchipper]

not really, the moderators use him as a foil for other candidates to make a point and he can't respond to it. this isn't happening with other candidates. I wonder why.

[GILMORE?]

I know, but he seemed quick to be all like, "THIS IS BULLSHIT!" A little Prima-Donna-ish if you ask me.

[Crusty Juggler]

Shikha just re-tweeted this. Wow on that twitter account, but lolski on the photo they used.

[Rhywun]

Arsene Wenger is a cuckservative?

[commodious spittoon]

I am not a well-traveled man. Who is that?

[Crusty Juggler]

George Will

[commodious spittoon]

I always pictured him tubbier, with a bit of facial hair.

[Wizard with a Woodchipper]

spot on about Shikha.

[Heroic Mulatto]

Nice to see Tulpa's fully letting his freak flag fly.

[MJGreen - Docile Citizen]

Has to be a regular commenter here.

[Quincy.]

Train syrians: High speed wail.

[DenverJ]

Nice

[coloraDOOM]

This is so exciting!

[Jerryskids]

A more open-ended AUMF, yeah, that's the ticket.

And shut the fuck up Ted.

This debate is all about who's gonna kill ISIS the deadest.

I'm sorry Donald, I didn't appreciate you were the tallest mental midget in the debates.

[Wizard with a Woodchipper]

You know who else was for a Teddy Roosevelt approach?

[Winston]

What a minute I thought only neocons were interventionist?

[straffinrun]

Whew, glad I didn't get the IT question. Do you disagree with the smart guys at MIT?

[coloraDOOM]

no, let's say those things out loud.

[DenverJ]

Libertarian Moment!!!!!!1111eleventyone!!!!!11!!

[RAHeinlein]

GO RAND!

[SusanM]

And a big "wooooo" from the audience.

[Quincy.]

That was good.

[Winston]

If Gary Johnson just said the right combination of fiscal conservatism and social liberalism than he will win all 57 states/Gillespie

[GILMORE?]

Rand has half the audience in his pocket.

Who doesn't think he'll at least come in 3rd?

[straffinrun]

Christie "Call the cops if you see a guy in a funny hat"
Rand "Stop tossing people in funny hats in prison"

[DenverJ]

I has a sliver of hope. I should step on it, so it doesn't hurt so bad when some authoritarian Red is the option of Shillary.

[Quincy.]

Fat Boy: Killing planned parenthood will balance the budget!

[Quincy.]

"Repeal every word of Obamacare."

Headline: Pres Cruz will abolish word, concept of "care"

[GILMORE?]

Ted =

"I will now ignore your question about the uninsured"

[Winston]

Is this the ultimate libertarian song?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkPCmIxv-3k

[Notorious UGCC]

No, one of these is:

this

OR

this

And, yes, one of those is a Rickroll, but the other is pretty good.

So...do you feel lucky?

[GILMORE?]

"Jeb, let me ask you something no one gives a wet fart about"

[Crusty Juggler]

Will dpuchebag America listen to Rand Paul's well-reasoned policy answers and suggestions, or will they want to keep supporting a cartoon-ish buffoon? I know the answer!

[Sevo]

And the buffoon isn't even here...

[GILMORE?]

I have been saying for a long time Rand will do far far better in the first 2 primaries than anyone expects.

he'll tank after that, of course.

[straffinrun]

If I were from Puerto Rico, I'd want to join the US so I could pay federal income tax. Jeb!

[GILMORE?]

Kasich:

"I'm still here!"

[SIV]

shikha sood dalmia ?@shikhadalmia 4m4 minutes ago

Bush seems much less cowed and tongue tied this time. What could have been w/out Trump!

We'd all be bitten by a krait?

[Winston]

What could have been w/out Trump!

Republicans will be shitty statists?

[Quincy.]

Rubio hates trees!

[GILMORE?]

for all Rubio's GRRRR! I HAVE STRONG FEELINGS ABOUT POLICES!!, I think he's actually not bad.

The warboner shit and his absurd reversal on immigration is just his youthful vigor and desperation to want to win. he's not just throwing spaghetti at the wall, he's throwing ARMLOADS

[DenverJ]

Plus, he's telegenic,a bigger thing than most acknowledge. He's Latin-American. He's not Hillary.
I'd vote for Rubio over Hillary or Trump. But go Rand go!!

[GILMORE?]

Yeah, i think he's just got "Energy" that others don't.

of course, all that spunk translates to "Kill mexicans! Keep ISIS out of the US!!... wait the other way... Or whatever, either way!"

[Rhywun]

Mandatory e-verify!

What could possibly go wrong?

[GILMORE?]

You're sort of making my point.

I don't think rubio (as everyone is currently pointing out re: Immigration) ACTUALLY has any strong policy opinions.

He's just grasping at whatever he thinks will make him sound different and *sincere*.

[OneOut]

It's not that hard to figure out Gilmore one only needs to look at his pre election rhetoric to the Tea Party and his post election actions with the Repub leaders.

Say anything to win and then go along to get along with the Party leaders.

It is the reason I"m a Cruz guy.

His preelection rhetoric matched his post election actions to a tee.

[Winston]

Are Reasonoids still buddy buddy with Dave Weigel?

[Sevo]

Winston, did Welsh point out that you're a pain in the butt once?
What seems to be your problem?

[SusanM]

Rubio keeps reminding me of an earnest but awkward salesman on his first day on the job.

[TheZeitgeist]

Earnest Mormon missionary.

[SusanM]

That too. It's just something in his cadence which is weirdly stilted.

[TheZeitgeist]

The stilt-stutter is the Mormon missionary having uncontrolled and impure thoughts while talking to Megyn Kelly.

[SusanM]

Entirely understandable.

[GILMORE?]

yep! thats sort of what i was saying above. he's young! he's hungry! He wants to get a deal!!! dripping with earnestness

[Rhywun]

Heh - that's it

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

Rubio needs the good leads, the Glengarry leads.

[Rhywun]

And... Trump enters stage left.

"The good leads are for winners. Are you a winner?"

[SusanM]

Rubio is not a closer

[Quincy.]

IMMUGUNTS!

[Winston]

Shouldn't Raimondo be blaming Flint on capitalist CIA sabotage like his hero Hugo Chavez would?

[Quincy.]

I blame Freemasons.

[GILMORE?]

"And now we shall burn mexicans in effigy and stab them with pitchforks"

[coloraDOOM]

OOOOO!

[AlmightyJB]

Did Trump show up? If not he should walk out with like two minutes left holding his arms up like Caesar.

[GILMORE?]

Jeb =

"I will now make my prepared joke, and not mention my dad"

[DenverJ]

He was asupposedto mention his dad

[SusanM]

Jeb! just burned Rubio - that's just sad.

[GILMORE?]

Cruz's thing that bugs me is his smug attitude as though this thing is an actual 'contest' where he's going to win points.

he doesn't seem to worry about whether people like him or find his argument appealing, just that he's "Right" and he beats everyone else.

basically, "a dick"

[GILMORE?]

See Rand here busting his balls and being all chill about it.

Cruz's retort is to try to win points by injecting a quote and dropping as many names as possible.

Its like he thinks there's someone out there scoring him on technical points.

[buybuydandavis]

Rand was wonderfully chill all night.

Just relaxed and smacking people around.

Too bad he spent most of the campaign being a prissy school marm.

[TheZeitgeist]

In other words, my sister circa 1983.

[Quincy.]

Rand says keep the frostbacks out!

[Winston]

It's only a mere matter of marching...

[Quincy.]

The Minefields of Minnesota is a good title for a new national anthem.

[Wizard with a Woodchipper]

Robby Soave @robbysoave
You know who favored amnesty? Ronald Reagan.

He didn't favor it, but agreed to it provided certain other conditions were met. They weren't and Reagan later said he regretted supporting amnesty.

[Rhywun]

I think our "broken" immigration system is probably better than anything that will result from any candidates ideas to "fix" it.

[Winston]

I didn't know you were a racist yokeltarian...

[Wizard with a Woodchipper]

honestly, I never know what they mean when they declare that our system is broken.

[Rhywun]

It's not even in the top 20 of what needs to be addressed during a freakin' presidential debate.

[GILMORE?]

"Marco = smooth, charming.... you can't trust those greasy latinos"

[Crusty Juggler]

Hide your daughters.

[Quincy.]

Christie on immigration: I want to eat them. "Let's get things done!"

[SusanM]

No immigrants = no good tacos.

[Wizard with a Woodchipper]

damn, yo

[TheZeitgeist]

Christie on immigration: "Mexicans - can't have just one."

[Quincy.]

twirl a scalpel dammit.

[Wizard with a Woodchipper]

Were you a legal or illegal immigrant? There's a difference which should determine how you are treated.

[GILMORE?]

Carson = I WILL DEFEND AMERICA FROM THE HORDE OF MEXICAN HOT CHICKS

[Quincy.]

He will defend America from Salma Hayek as fiercely as he will from that other filthy Hayek immigrant.

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

Really hope they cast Mos Def to play Ben Carson in the HBO movie about this primary that'll air in 6 years.

[coloraDOOM]

I laughed.

[TheZeitgeist]

What about Joseph Fiennes?

[Tejicano]

I suppose Mos Def can play him too.

[MJGreen - Docile Citizen]

Six years? It took 'em four years to do Sarah Palin. I doubt they'd last three years to do a movie about Trump, Carson, and this whole shitfest.

[GILMORE?]

Prediction =

Trump will actually suffer badly for sitting this thing out.

[Tejicano]

We can all hope

[GILMORE?]

Rubio is pleading

[GILMORE?]

sorry... meant that as a separate remark.

And he just threw in "AND I LOVE JESUS" while i was saying that

[GILMORE?]

And he's using up ALL his jokes for the evening in one shot

[Tejicano]

Did he pronounce that "Gee-zus" or "Hey-soos"? Cause that would be a new angle on things...

[GILMORE?]

i believe the phrase was, "Our lord and savior, gee-sus"

[Tejicano]

'Cause if he said "Hey-soos" that could mean one person out of about 10% of the male population living within 50 miles of the southern border. Just sayin'...

[Wizard with a Woodchipper]

I hope you are right.

[Winston]

Hopefully. And Rand will rise up and....sorry I can't.

[Quincy.]

Jesus, my liver is dying from America's electoral sins.

[GILMORE?]

As much as i dislike Chris Christie... i find him and Rand the most 'honest' sounding. And i know what a lying scumbag christie is. Just that i can suddenly see why he's been successful as a gov in NJ. he stays fairly relaxed and sounds as honest as a politician can be expected to be.

[Rhywun]

There's also the fact that every D governor in Jersey turns out to be a far-left corrupt-o-crat.

[TheZeitgeist]

Corzine is a tough act to follow.

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

Rubio's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!

[Heroic Mulatto]

Which was chosen after Iowan focus groups complained his original campaign song sounded to 'urban'.

[SusanM]

+1 busted chair...er...rhyme.

[Quincy.]

Gilmore, Medicaid, boring!

[GILMORE?]

So they're going to talk "Foreign Policy" ? I thought they already bombed the shit out of ISIS.

I will give anyone points if they talk about

- the future of NATO
- dealing with China & their ambitions in South Asia
- the global Oil economy
- Pakistan

[GILMORE?]

Kasich =

"Hey! Yeah, i'm still here."

[Tejicano]

"OK....

You can leave now."

[Quincy.]

Christie wants us to be safe, hummus.

[Wizard with a Woodchipper]

Jude-Christian valleys? Am I hearing this wrong?

[Wizard with a Woodchipper]

Judeo....sorry, I am pretty drunk right now.

[Entropy Drehmaschine Void]

Judo.

[Quincy.]

Judeo? Rodeo without pig roping?

[Quincy.]

Law/Slater 2016!

[GILMORE?]

They really don't give Rand any breaks. Every question is "why are you so weird and lame?"

He handles it well again, and twists it into the opportunity to say "Liberty" a lot.

[Wizard with a Woodchipper]

vociferous crowd support

[GILMORE?]

yeah, but they cheered just as loudly for his lame follow up as they did for his good original answer.

they come off a bit "planted"

[Quincy.]

Article 5 over Estonia? You decide.

[Migrant Log Chipper]

Holy.Fucking.Shit. Where's the number of my travel agent.

[Rhywun]

Rubio needs to tweak the speed of his speech synthesizer output down about 20%.

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

Rand Paul simultaneously believes abortion is a states' right issue and wants to introduce Federal legislation on it.

[coloraDOOM]

Wildcard?

[B. Woodrow Chippenhaus]

Yeah, that seemed like a flubbed answer to me. He should have said, "Ideally, it's a states' rights issue, but since Roe v. Wade federalized it and that's highly unlikely to change, I'm constrained to propose a federal solution."

[Calidissident]

I think what he was trying to say is that overturning Roe v. Wade would make it states rights issue, and he was fine with that compared to the status quo, but that he would support a federal law as well.

But it did come off as pandering and avoiding the question, although his answer the second go around was a little more clear than the first time.

[GILMORE?]

Carson =

"We need armor in the balkans."

No word yet from Robby on how 'neocon' this is or not.

[GILMORE?]

oooh, Brett said "Multilateral"!

[Wizard with a Woodchipper]

Nabela Noor is full of shit. She also looks funny.

[Quincy.]

Sizeist.

[TheZeitgeist]

Sizeist

Islam is a growing religion.

[Wizard with a Woodchipper]

full of shit because if high-levels of hate crimes is the standard, hate-crimes against the Jewish community here puts those Muslim numbers in the shade.

[SIV]

Is whale meat haram?

[Wizard with a Woodchipper]

dude, lol

[GILMORE?]

Jeb =

Says we need to be careful about the language we use, and yet says "we need to destroy the caliphate"

acknowledging your opposition as 'a caliphate' is openly saying you're at war with Islam itself. A caliph is by definition "a person considered a political and religious successor to the Islamic prophet, Muhammad (Muhammad ibn ?Abdull?h), and a leader of the entire Muslim community."

[Rich]

Oh, very well. So-called "caliphate".

[GILMORE?]

"i have no problems with catholics at all. I just think we need to destroy the papacy"

[Quincy.]

This is America, we rape the earth, fuck your fluttery windmills.

[Quincy.]

twirl a scalpel dammit

[TheZeitgeist]

I think Carson just connected living close to oceans with hydropower potential. Doh.

[Rich]

It did come across that way.

[OneOut]

He's going to tie kites with spinning generators to surfers and pay them a living wage to surf all day.

Works every time.

Or maybe something else to do with wave energy.

I dunno.

[EMD]

He's going to tie kites with spinning generators to surfers and pay them a living wage to surf all day.

I could honestly be down with this. But why isn't private enterprise already pioneering this?

[SusanM]

I wish they'd ask Carson a question about brain surgery just so he'd appear smart for once.

[GILMORE?]

"uhm... look, I'm not a politician......but, uh.... maybe, like... war with Russia?"

[GILMORE?]

" shikha sood dalmia @shikhadalmia
This debate shows what a poison pill Trump is! Bush is positively in his element!"

"DEFINITION of 'Poison Pill' A strategy used by corporations to discourage hostile takeovers.""

in common usage, it generally means "cock-blocker". Was Trump cockblocking jeb?

[TheZeitgeist]

Jeb! Cock? Where?

[OneOut]

How about that no mandates promise from a guy who's pre election rhetoric has always matched his post election actions ?

Flat tax anyone ?

Cruz is the most Libertarianish candidate that actually has a chance to win in this election.

[Calidissident]

"How about that no mandates promise from a guy who's pre election rhetoric has always matched his post election actions ?"

Did you watch the clips they showed earlier?

[OneOut]

No.

But I've watched him in washington since he was elected to the Senate.

Did someone show a clip of something trying to paint him into a corner over some legislative procedure ?

Did you watch the clip of him speeking on the Senate floor explaning to us how McConnell and Bonher butt fucker Republican voters over the omnibus budget bill and call Mcconnel the liar he is ?

[Calidissident]

No, they showed clips of him clearly taking a position on immigration that he denies today he ever took (and presumably campaigned against when he ran for office).

[OneOut]

Can you link to it for me ?

I'm not saying the usual link or your lieing shit I'm really asking. I have n't seen it but i heard something about it.

All I know is he lived up to every campaign promise he made to voters while running for the Senate. I've never seen that in my lifetime.

Even a dedicated liberal like Alan Dershowitz says he is brilliant.

Google his actions at the FTC and read what even the democrats say about his leadership there.

He would be a great president since Rand isn't going to win and Ron has retired.

[OneOut]

Wait. I've had some beers so I didn't catch it at first.

They showed clips of him at the debate ?

Who showed the clips ?

[OneOut]

Wait. I've had some beers so I didn't catch it at first.

They showed clips of him at the debate ?

Who showed the clips ?

[OneOut]

Actually I think I just saw the topic you were referring to discussed in a back and forth between megan ( tie me up and whip me) Kelly and Cruz.

After they went back and forth a few times she agreed with him, for whatever that;s worth.

I watched it live on their website and the aftershow with the new and improved biker Kelly interviews Cruz.

[GILMORE?]

Good = rand first, i can end early.

[GILMORE?]

Why does this sound like his concession speech?

[Quincy.]

Rand Paul: I miss stabbing people in the eye.

[buybuydandavis]

If their eyes offend you, pluck them out!

[coloraDOOM]

Someone is drunk in the audience?

[Quincy.]

Gilmore: Gibberish.

[Hyperbolical (wadair)]

Alright! A positive attitude will solve our problems. Thank you governor Kasich.

[Hyperbolical (wadair)]

Keep us safe Jeb!

[Quincy.]

Christie: 9/11 didn't kill my family. 9/11. 9/11, 9/11.

[buybuydandavis]

Rand has been much more genuine lately.

He used to talk in a pedantic manner. Seemed more guarded and packaged. Now he's just talking. Much better.

I think he knows he won't win, so now he's just being himself. Certainly wouldn't have done any worse if he had done this all along.

[GILMORE?]

""I think he knows he won't win,""

Hence my point about "concession speech".

I think you should die with your boots on, frankly.

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

He's got nothing to worry about, he should coast to Senate reelection this fall and he's 53 so plenty young to try again later.

[GILMORE?]

the coach in me is saying, "the kid has no hustle! run your way on AND off the field!"

[OneOut]

what do you coach ?

* I always ran on and off the field coach *

[GILMORE?]

Nothing ever.

It is the hypothetical coach-persona in my mind

[Quincy.]

Carson: Quotes something.

[Hyperbolical (wadair)]

Rubio saves the world! Let your light shine!

[Quincy.]

Rubio: Murica!!

[Rich]

Cruz: "The media noise will soon be over."

And some say Ted has no sense of humor!

[SusanM]

Cruz: Elect me an I'll kill people!

[Quincy.]

Cruz: I have a Cowboy hat.

[TheZeitgeist]

Watching a couple Hispanic clowns pander to a cracker barrel about kicking Mexicans out is truly American.

[Hyperbolical (wadair)]

With all due respect, I think they are focused on illegal immigrants, not all immigrants, and certainly not all Mexicans. This is an important point to legal immigrants who went through the legal processes to gain entry into this country. My mother-in-law is a first generation immigrant from central America and she is very much for immigration but against illegal immigration.

[OneOut]

Hyper you just disrupted the racists-derp continuum.

[buybuydandavis]

A "cracker" barrel?

[TheZeitgeist]

Yes, look at that crowd tonight. Barrel of crackers. Snowdrift of saltines. And among the panel before them are Cuban kids - one by way of Canada - going all nativist. And the crackers are eating it up, cheering for it. Just bizarre when you think about it.

Meanwhile, the Diversity Gang gets to decide between a pair of Washington ecosystem denizens as ancient and white as any I've ever seen. Again, strange.

[Hyperbolical (wadair)]

Why are you so bigoted against white people?

Bigotry is bigotry. It matters not the skin color nor the ethnicity in question. Racism is racism.
