Cruz's solution to balanced trade sounded a little bullshit to me. I'm not sure how you can tax imports and say that it won't be treated like a tariff by other countries. Maybe I missed something.

The only way to rebut Trump on 'all Muslims' is to say that there are nice Muslims that are maybe looking to convert?

You can flip that around and say that a lot of white americans straight up hate muslims too.

Trump just equated Islam to "a group of people". Thanks for proving my point with regards to whom he was referring to about the hatred :-D

I'm starting to think that Trump purposefully let loose that "Islam hates us" line as a set up for tonight.

Interesting seeing their different views on Islam/Muslims. Mature answer from Rubio.

Look, in one fell swoop Trump has turned Rubio into a Muslim apologist. This is some next level shit here.

Pander to the xenophobia. Feed off you anger. Let the hate flow through you.

Well, at least Trump is honest and admits the law bans waterboarding. We have to obey the laws, so we have to make torture legal, unlike Bush.

Of course, what terrorists want is us to give up their values. Trump is right. They are laughing. If we torture them, they win.

Shouldn't put quotation marks about quotes that weren't said.

Now those quote about making torture legal will be used on terrorist b-roll for years. Recruiting 101.

No doubt about it. Think about it. He has gotten this far by the Mexican wall and many other similar things. He dominates the newsfeed and thus dominates the election. By being the center of attention for this debate, he prevents a surge from any other candidate. He is the current winner. If he can pin everyone else down, he's got it.
