dayman Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Down to 5 so this should be a little different than what we've had.
B-Man Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Great, CNN shows clips of candidates insisting that this not a sporting event--& then open with a live performance of national anthem LOL Owen Brennan@OwenBrennan 7m7 minutes ago Don't deny the #BenMentum. He started off in 17th place ... now he's in 5th! #GOPDebate
B-Man Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 John Kasich: My father was a mailman....................... #Drink CNN really trying to help Trump by leading with the immigration debate. Recognizing political reality, Rubio starts off the debate by going after Trump. Smart. Ted Cruz: "The people who get forgotten in this debate on immigration are...the legal immigrants."................ Yup.
dayman Posted February 26, 2016 Author Posted February 26, 2016 Rubio and Cruz opened by hammering Trump has hard as he has been...and yet Trump arguably won the exchange with both at the same time. This 38 year old Polish worker scandal is weak.
B-Man Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Through first 40 minutes: 1. Rubio 2. Trump 3. Cruz 4. No one else is in the debate 5. See 4.

This 38 year old Polish worker scandal is weak. Let me see if I understand. It's ok to hire temporary East European illegal hotel workers in Florida because no one else will take a 90-day job, but it's not ok to hire temporary Central American illegal farm workers in Florida because no one else will take a 90-day job.
Observer Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Let me see if I understand. It's ok to hire temporary East European illegal hotel workers in Florida because no one else will take a 90-day job, but it's not ok to hire temporary Central American illegal farm workers in Florida because no one else will take a 90-day job. Trump's supporters don't vote for logical consistency, they vote for soundbytes. Just listen to the audience reaction. It's nauseating. When he was defending hiring illegal immigrants "because no one else would take the job," I almost threw my TV through the window. WTF are the Republicans doing? Trump makes Obama look like Einstein.
B-Man Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Heh............ Dan McLaughlin @baseballcrank Rubio doesn't know it's a damn show! He thinks it's a damn fight! "First of all, I don't believe anything Telemundo says" – Trump I still don't really want Trump.........but it's honesty like that that shows his appeal.

Let me clarify: in a GOP debate you are caught with your pants down as soft on low-wage undocumented Hispanic workers today. You are not effectively bruised in a debate by an attack about hiring some Polish people 38 years ago.

B-Man Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Trump just referred to a judicial opinion as signing a bill................... I like cheerful way Rubio is confronting Trump. Smiles. Looks at audience as if to say, "isn't this amusing? Can you believe this fellow?" Spotted in the wild: a very rare double-¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Trump repeats Planned Parenthood lies about cancer screening. Carson will look at "the fruit salad of their life" in considering a possible judge...........................lol .

The attack was about Trump using illegal East European hotel workers right now, not 38 years ago. But I'm sure you knew that.
dayman Posted February 26, 2016 Author Posted February 26, 2016 Rubio is hitting Trump hard on the insurance details.
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Rubio is hitting Trump hard on the insurance details. I dont like Rubio much, but he ate trumps lunch in that exchange
B-Man Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 jimgeraghty ✔ @jimgeraghty John Kasich, the human time-out. Every single time. Whenever a real exchange starts heating up, CNN murders it by giving the oxygen to Kasich and Carson. It's inexcusable.
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Every single time. Whenever a real exchange starts heating up, CNN murders it by giving the oxygen to Kasich and Carson. It's inexcusable. I really like carson, unfortunately he doesn't have enough charisma and "fun" sound bytes to ever gain enough interest. He would have potential to be a great president but we'll never find out.
dayman Posted February 26, 2016 Author Posted February 26, 2016 Rubio is basically saying: "Hey! I remembered more things than Trump, he's got 5 I've got more than 20! I win!"

He would have potential to be a great president but we'll never find out. I still think that he could be a VP candidate....................the more outside the beltway people the better. Los Hermanos Cubanos finally gang tackle Trump on healthcare simultaneously. Wolf bails out Trump for a second or third time. Notice how Kasich avoided the easy hit on Trump. He is THE WORST. Ted Cruz makes good point: Mainstream media that’s helping Trump now will turn on him if he’s GOP nominee.
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Cruz has been spot on most points. He is my preferred candidate because I think he is the most conservative candidate who could actually win.
dayman Posted February 26, 2016 Author Posted February 26, 2016 Cruz has been spot on most points. He is my preferred candidate because I think he is the most conservative candidate who could actually win. IMO Kasich is the only candidate that could win the Presidency if the party fully supported him...Hilary would roll Cruz, beat Trump, and bigfoot Rubio. Kasich (even if today's polls don't show it) would be a powerful counter to Hilary is a future world where a default 45% of the country was talking him up.
