Hi I’m Chris Christie DON’T LOOK AT ME OR THE POLITICAL REVENGE SCHEMES I PLOT
How long is this debate anyway? It seems that this part is taking forever!
Kasich and Walker get the Reagan suck-up points.
Christie has a gimmick opener. That’s what this has become.
I give anyone credit who can watch more than a half hour of this without drugs or alcohol.
re: #5 Sionainn
That’s cause there are 1 bazillion candidates.
To sum up opening statements: God bless America, too bad its such a shithole. #GOPDebate

re: #8 Iwouldprefernotto
I give anyone credit who can watch more than a half hour of this without drugs or alcohol.
Then i GUESS i’M FUCKN’ dq’D.
CNN’s feed sucks. I’m having to use the pzfeed, but it’s a little bit behind.
Not going to waste my time watching the debate, so let me see how close I am:
Trump: “I’m a racist asshole.”
Jeb: “My brother was the smart one.”
Rand: “ARGLE BARGLE!”
Carson: “Let me say the most idiotic thing possible in terms that morons thinks is eloquent.”
Carly: “I’m running on my record, just don’t look at my time at HP.”
How did I do?
“Finger on the nuclear codes”? Seriously, CNN? What sort of word salad is that?
Trump just verbally smacked Rand Paul in the face.
First question out of the gates, Trump is horrible, why do you think he’ll start WWIII?
Kasich fatal mistake; he said he’s a Uniter. That won’t go over well.
Here he goes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I I I I I I I am great
LOL! Trump just turns his Dick Dial up to 11.
re: #12 teleskiguy
Not a fan of Maher, but that’s pretty good.
[trump]Why is Rand here? He’s 11th lol[/trump]
And of course Rand comes out with the logical fallacy terms like a good libertarian.
Rand Paul calling someone else sophomoric. Wheee~~~
Set this up as schoolyard fight from the start
And Trump breaks the rules right away with a blow below the belt against Aqua Buddha.
Trump: I. Me. Mine. Billions. I’m rich. I’m successful. You’re not.
Aaaarrrrgggghhhh! Three hours.
re: #23 goddamnedfrank
LOL! Trump just turns his Dick Dial up to 11.
Of course he did. Trump is going to wipe the floor with all these amateur assholes. He’s a professional asshole.
No one on that stage should ever be given nuclear launch codes.
Once again, Trump is setting the tone and walking all over the moderators and candidates.
Why would any red blooded American who loves their country even give any of these bozo’s a nod.
re: #34 b.d.
No one on that stage should ever be given
nuclear launch codesthe keys to a car.
Are they asking anyone besides Trump a question? He is SOOOOOOO obnoxious. I opened the stream but I don’t think I can take it.
I’d love to see the minute by minute ratings. I bet they start falling off like a stone after a few more minutes of this crap.
Is this a debate or a group of catty high school bitches? #GOPDebate

If all of them go after Trump it’s going to give Trump a reason to say the Republicans aren’t treating him fairly and make a third party run if he want to.
I made a tremendous amount of money in AC. then I kicked them to the curb and pissed on them. Losers. Yeah. I’m a bazillionaire bitch.
the name of this debate is
Donald Trades Insults With All The Unpopular Kids At His Class In Junior High
re: #36 Major Tom
This is so undignified.
Of course. It’s a very primitive primate dominance display expressed in unnatural form (i.e., I’m richer than you, I’m a more pure conservative etc.).
You gotta give Trump at least this, he dispenses with the whole “My worthy opponent” BS and says what he thinks about the rest of the field. It’s rather refreshing. Fucking insane, but refreshing.
Oh Jeb! you are trying to get hard…
Alright Scotty is going to wrassle the big TRUMP!
And now little Scottie *(he’s so shiny) is babbling. Shoot me now.
Snotty Walker’s carefully-rehearsed applause line sounds like it did about as well with the audience as a fart in the Oval Office. (Which he’ll never get to experience.)

They’re not just stylistically dicks, they’re dangerous.
Only if we let them win.
Jeb is like, “Act Invisible, don’t make eye contact…”
I’m great what the F do you need other than that, just vote for me and I will make you all millionaires.
“Just because [Trump] says it doesn’t make it true” fair enough Walker, except Trump’s right that you buttfucked Wisconsin.
Did Jeb say something? I really didn’t notice. Not good, Jeb. Not good.
But what about the FINGERS ON THE NUCLEAR CODES????????

Uh Oh, He just schooled WalkerDrone. I’m torn. /

When Kasich, with his voting record, is the voice of reason, well…
Well hell Kasich how much time does it take to say Tax Break. Isn’t that the Republicans only policy.

Rabble rabble rabble! “Take away our sovereignty!” Oh STFU already….
Why is a nuclear Iran more scary than a nuclear North Korea which actually has nuclear weapons?

I’ll bet not one of these dolts ever walked in the other sides shoes. So if you were Iranian, and had the threat of being bombed by the US, wouldn’t a nuclear device look pretty good? And if we did bomb them it would destroy the people who are attempting to change that regime in Iran. But who cares???? Bomb them. If Iran was your drink word, please report to the nearest ER.

Ted Cruz just repeated the lie that the Iran deal lets Iran “inspect themselves.” Nobody called him on it.

Exactly, his deal would give Iran all the monies & build shit there.
then they’d nationalize anything we built and close the borders.

“Screw the poor” is the story with these Republicans.

The GOP is much more of an ongoing criminal enterprise than Planned Parenthood.
Has Christie lost weight?
Isn’t “selling the body parts of unborn children” an oxymoron?

If Ben Carson gets to talk he’s almost certainly going to bring up the Margaret Sanger ethnic cleansing lie.
They don’t want Planned Parenthood to get federal funding. So, ok, the whole private enterprise argument —I get it, but I don’t buy it.
If PP managed to get full funding thru charitable giving, they would still be working to close them down.

“No, I did!”
