They’re all bragging about “defunding Planned Parenthood.” Yeah, good for you! You deprived women of health care! Yay!
— Charles Johnson (@Green_Footballs) September 17, 2015
And now they’re moving on to immigration, so we can expect a hefty dose of crazed xenophobia in this segment.
I’m practicing with legos to build a solid wall.
God, can the talk about anything differently than they did 8 years ago?
The wall, the border, deportation —geez.
I knew that Trump was going to say he was going to build a wall very first thing.
Trump: “We wouldn’t even be talking about illegal immigration if it wasn’t for me.”

Why would anything change from 8 years ago? Changes in reality caused by the passage of time are irrelevant to a wingnut.
I’d love to hear a question about the situation with our detention centers. Do civil rights matter?
To build this wall, would cost over 2 trillion, Trump will pay for it, out of his piggy bank.
Carson needs public speaking instruction.
well it’s not at all unlikely that one of these bastards will get elected and then we’ll see what happens with all their big talk
“Did Mr. Trump go to far in bringing up your wife.”
Bush: “Why not.”
Wasn’t Ivanka an immigrant?

Build two walls, mine the lakes, and issue national ID to every legal. Put checkpoints up in every town and city.

The problem with that is that the GOP has a track record of breaking things rather than fixing them.
Instead of doing something sensible like less breaking and more fixing in the policy positions, the GOP doubles down on the lies, propaganda and scapegoating instead.
There’s really no rational apology that can be made for the GOP at this point. Without exception, GOP voters are wingnuts or so into mindlessly voting GOP that they may as well be wingnuts.

A question about marijuana in a debate that you’d have to be high to enjoy.
Jeb Bush smoked pot. Now he’s Jeb Bush. Don’t smoke pot. #GOPDebate

I hate the fact that I agree with Rand Paul on drugs.
re: #543 I Stand With Planned Parenthood
IIRC, Libertarians have always had the right stance on drugs —at least pot.
They used to be pro-choice as well, don’t know how they are now.
Republicans who want to do drugs.

Is there an aftershow? Like where Tucker Carlson goes and interviews them in the locker room?
Yes. In only a towel and a bowtie. Epic.
re: #543 I Stand With Planned Parenthood
Sort of: I think they’ve been mostly of the “legalize everything” but also “don’t bother with treatment” persuasion.
Christie riding the fence.
That has to be uncomfortable.

If I wasn’t so old that’s what I would like to do after this debate just so I could forget I watched it.
Rand’s constituency would love legalized pot in their state. It’s the #1 crop —think of the tax revenue.

I hate the fact that I agree with Rand Paul on drugs.
That’s a bit pointless. It’s like hating the fact that I agree with Trump that taxes on the rich should go up.
Shut up Christie! Fuckin’ gateway drugs. You know what gateway drugs are? Alcohol and tobacco, you fuckin’ prick.

The fence isn’t enjoying it either.

Rand is the only candidate who has sounded sane. Scary.
Paul thinks the issue of marijuana legalization “is best left to the states,” Gor said Friday. “He’s spoken multiple times that Washington should not get in the way of voters who have passed various types of legislation dealing with cannabis.”
…….
But the senator has stopped short of calling for full legalization, as has been done in Colorado, telling the Hoover Institution in 2013 that he isn’t “willing to go all the way to say it is a good idea.”
“I think people who use marijuana all the time lose IQ points,” Paul said. “I think they lose their drive to show up for work.”

Trump should just admit to Crack right now.. This is his chance.

re: #561 jaunte
And that should solve the “agreeing with Rand Paul on drugs” issue.
Go away Carly. Also I feel like the “drug addiction epidemic” thing is probably like the “youth crime epidemic” thing of the 1990s, as in, not happening.

I didn’t realize “boor” was a verb, but it’s certainly appropriate at the moment.
You think Pataki, Santorum, Jindal and Graham are watching this thing?

Christie lying, he proposed cutting as for the poor.
