I love how Cruz was clearly surprised his line worked so well. Not sure how losing the argument to the moderator will play.

Oh geez, they're already complaining about the moderators. This next hour is gonna be an awkward

Edit: In light of the mod note at the top of the thread, I'll just say that I've never posted in this thread before, and I assumed it could be treated more or less like an LR thread during the debate. If that's frowned upon, my apologies

I loathe cruz, and still think it's almost worth kicking him out of the senate.

It's over for Bush, just a matter of how long they can keep the paychecks flowing to the consultants. (aka How fast can we burn through this money before people figure out they donated to a dumpster fire that's just burning to pay us out).

Probably establishment folks on the phone with Rubio folks right now.

Am I wrong, or isn't Social Security solvent through say 2035, then pays out 75% after with no changes? You can't call that "Social Security will be gone"?

I'll be surprised if Rubio's not doubling Bush in the betting markets after this debate.

Rubio will get a boost of course. Also for Rand the bad thing is there is no students in the audience, they weren't allowed to come inside. Thus lack of applause/momentum for him.

Discussing your policy line with 0 applause, 0 zingers, 0 soundbites = durdling.

The chance any post-debate coverage airs a second of that answer approaches 0.

Damn this debate is like a brawl. I've never seen moderators that are so blunt in attacking candidates and actually holding them accountable for what they say. Which, of course, leads to conflict because politicians don't like being held accountable for lying.

I found it pretty ironic when Fiorina went on that rant about "imagine if politicians were held criminally liable for lying to the public" when she blatantly lied about that fictional PP video in the last debate.
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.

I'd favor politicians being held criminally liable for lying to the public
somehow I doubt it will be voted into law though.


trump should have a debt plan of bankruptcy, 'hey it worked for me!' just declare the country bankrupt and default. unconstitutional of course, but very trump

Of course you can. You would be wrong, but you certainly can call it that.

I'd talk about how the single greatest threat to democracy is people in power spreading demonstrably false information but I think it would officially make me a broken record.

This guy asking the drug question talks soooo weird. And Carson dodges the question with the grace of a morbidly obese buffalo.

I don't think I've heard you say that too many times; I don't think it can be said too many times

This is the worst debate I've ever seen. Questions are sharpened to a point, moderators can't keep the candidates in line and aren't even in sync with each other. If a candidate simply left the stage I would gain a lot of respect for them.

I have a feeling the fact checkers are just going to file the whole debate under "pants on fire/4 Pinocchios"

Why does this current questioner talk soooooooo weird? It's getting under my skin.

Christie, you're an idiot, it's currently impossible to prosecute for price gouging in pharma. You need a new law and regulation first.
