drinkTHEkoolaid Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 The thing that makes me the most uneasy about trump, is his persona cult reminds me too much of Obama. It seems like blind allegiance to nothing of substance. As irrational as I think the support for Obama is I think trump followers are closing in on It.
B-Man Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 NYT Politics ✔ @nytpolitics How Ted Cruz addressed Donald Trump's absence from the Republican debate http://nyti.ms/1KIUxme pic.twitter.com/TuVqAGTKeT
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 God get rid of Jeb and kasich already. If they get relegated to the undercarr it would be a great day. Rand Paul is coming out strong and I like what he says, I feel he is gaining points with his increased airtime. I like what christie says but I don't trust him Cruz is still my favorite at this point. I really like Carson I wish he was doing better
keepthefaith Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 What bullcrap starting the debate with a question about Trump's absence. Waste of time. He should not even be mentioned.

B-Man Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Well sounds like dodo bird Cruz opened the door to framing the whole debate around Trumps absense. Now the floodgate is officially open What debate are you watching ?...............lol It certainly isn't the GOP one. That Rand-Cruz-Rubio exchange is what I always expected the 2016 debates would look like before Trump came along. It's kind of refreshing how much more substantive and informative the debate is without Trump sucking up all the oxygen Moderators attempt to get Chris Christie to attack his fellow GOP'ers..........he turns the focus to Hillary.............................Bravo
B-Man Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 I guess that making the candidates attack each other is the main goal of Fox............. GOP candidates spent last 30 minutes talking about terrorism, vs 10 minutes Dems spent on all of national security in last debate. Ben Carson noticeably improved so far Here's the total speaking time at the #GOPDebate through the first commercial break: Cruz: 4:53Rubio: 2:38Paul: 1:44Bush: 1:19Kasich: 1:18Carson: 1:06Christie: 1:06

It's worn out, no secret where any of them stand on anything. And by the way, trump didn't dominate the previous debate in terms of minutes anyway. The notion that he hogged time is just another false narrative

That montage of Rubio, used to set him up for a flip-flopping charge (and was never used on Trump), strikes me as quite a bit unfair. Never seen a video montage in a debate. It's fine but let's now see it for every candidate. And there's the Cruz montage. Now we know why Donald Trump cut and run from this debate.
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 I would love to see a Cruz/Paul or Cruz/Carson ticket You are indeed a well-named poster. props to Dr. Carson for talking Islam terror facts in response to Kelly's Islamophilibic baiting.

Bush league. In losing a lot of respect for foxnews
B-Man Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 The problem is not the hardball questions in the GOP debates. They should be and I'm glad. The problem is the softballs in the Dem debates ................................. Very strong Cruz answer on keeping his promises...that's what people want. Rubio just smashed that question about electability and Hillary Clinton out of the park.

keepthefaith Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 They aren't moderators but instigators, with the exception of Brett. Brett is a class act IMO and has been for a long time.
3rdnlng Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 I think all of the debaters did a pretty good job. They all didn't necessarily answer the questions but got their message across.

Now the floodgate is officially open Link Dodo bird? Liberal Prof Dershowitz: Cruz was “Off the Charts Brilliant” Posted on March 23, 2015, 10:54 am by Keith Koffler • 20 Comments Ted Cruz, who announced his presidential candidacy today, will be the subject of much vitriol in the press. But he won’t receive the epithet most coveted by liberals when they go after conservatives: They can’t say he’s stupid. “Off the charts brilliant,” is what legendary liberal Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz said of his former student in an interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer a year ago. Maybe that article was poorly translated from Farsi though.
