GOP Debate Thread 3: Clowns Just Want to Kill and Destroy
As the previous thread fills up with comments, here’s another one to discuss this disturbing exercise in fear and bigotry, aka the Republican presidential debate.

Honestly, that Trump face is just crazy. Closes his ideas, tries to smile sweetly, tilts his head.
Jeb! claims Trump isn’t serious.
But I fear Trump is.
Holy Shit! Trump doubles down on killing family members of ISIL.
Jeb just hammered Trump with his own words.
Trump backpedaling.
Perhaps the GOP platform sounds better in the original Latin:
Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius.
I just posted downstairs an answer to freetoken asking how to call ISIS.

Ooooo. Jeb getting tough. Trying to build up your energy Jeb.
What a fucking comedy.
Wolf overrides the other questioner on Trump’s behalf. Honestly, if I were Jeb! or any other candidate, I’d walk out.
Does this debate have moderators or what?
re: #8 EPR-radar

No not really! :)
Trump is refusing to respond to the specifics that Jeb threw at him.
“You’re not going to be able to insult your way into the Presidency.”
Assumes facts not in evidence, and how would you know, Jeb%*&?
At some point, Surely people will realize that Trump only repeats a few words over and over. Right?! And Trump can’t answer any challenge except by insults.
Carson comparing carpet bombing and killing children to his experience with brain surgery on children.
good grief.
re: #22 Backwoods_Sleuth
Trump just got booed
Again, the audience is selected for that. This is a Sheldon casino and the party is trying to discredit him. Trump will use that tomorrow as evidence of their desperation…and he would have a point.
Dr. Carson are you man enough to kill thousands of innocent civilians like the other people up here on this stage?
what. the. hell. is. carson. talking. about?
re: #23 Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All

True, but this doesn’t actually seem to be a handicap for Trump. His supporters like this kind of blatant pandering and bullshit.
re: #15 Backwoods_Sleuth
Trump is refusing to respond to the specifics that Jeb threw at him.
Come on Sleuth…this is a No Specifics Zone.
So anyone wanting a good guy with specifics is shit out of luck and will die!

Hewitt: so you are ok with killing thousands of children?
Carson: you got it.
Churchill’s ruthlessness didn’t win the war. American and Soviet power did.

So much this. Trump always talks like an petulant 12 year old who knows just enough big words that adults do.
Of course, given his audience, it’s most likely a very calculated move. And it works.
death by a thousand pricks
that describes this debate all right
Man, Hugh Hewitt finally hits the issue they’ve been dancing around. War means a lot of innocent people die. And the Crowd doesn’t like that reality.

The Trump supporters are going to be angry about this…and they will cling ever closer to their guy.

Carson: “I….will…..kill…….the……terrorists……and….everybody……..else…….”

Hugh Hewitt just asked a real question about what it means to kill and destroy. Amazing.
re: #44 freetoken
My CNN feed had a problem there.
It probably couldn’t take the stupidity from Vegas and tried to kill itself.
Rand making good points.
Clocks are stopped once in a while.
“Is Donald Trump a Serious Candidate?” says the guy who is only on the stage on sufferance. Which is a shame, considering Paul is going through the fact that Drumpf would have to suspend the Constitution and numerous laws based on it.
We’re going to close parts of Syria, apparently. Or maybe just their parts of the internet. Honestly, huh?
How fucked up is this debate that Jeb Bush and Rand Paul are saying things that actually sound like they’re not completely insane?
re: #46 Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All
Man, Hugh Hewitt finally hits the issue they’ve been dancing around. War means a lot of innocent people die. And the Crowd doesn’t like that reality.
They think war is like a video game.
Trump doesn’t want to shut down the internet here, but in Syria and those places.

She wants to bring Petraeus back. Does she actually know about his dissemination of classified material to his mistress?

Just FYI: After last month’s legislative election, the Democrats are stronger in the NJ legislature than they have been since 1977. That’s an index of how well Christie is regarded.

They don’t even know who they’re supposed to hate anymore. As Ben Carson is now demonstrating by showing that Obama’s success in Sintar proves Obama’s failure.

It’s just more of that basic common sense and courtesy that is mocked as ‘PC’ by the GOP barbarians. Nobody should be cavalier about sending people off to fight and die in war, and that goes 1000x for those who have no fucking clue about wartime service because they never did it (and were often rather diligent in their efforts to avoid it).
Cruz is suggesting that there are no moderates in the ME.

No, Chris, that’s you because you think the only foreign policy is more war you pathetic shithead.

Obama the guy who has approved drone strikes against ISIS and Taliban, and under whose watch we nailed Osama bin Laden.
Yeah. Weak. He shoulda just nuked the entire Muslim world with his laser eyes.
re: #226 Eric The Fruit Bat
This whole debate seems so incredibly scripted.
And actually the middle east was OK until the UK and US stared messing around post-WW II.
Go back another world war, at least.
The ME has been fucked up due to Western intervention for a long, long time.
Jeb^, what you don’t know would fill the Library of Congress.
re: #263 Brian J.
Rebuilt the Sixth Fleet right under his nose? We can’t build an aircraft carrier under one President, even if you win two terms.
The 2011 withdrawal was in accord with Bush’s 2008 SOFA, not that you’d notice.
Christie really wants New Jersey nuked. It’s not like anyone could tell the difference.
The ship I was on, the John C. Stennis, took a little over four years to go from keel to commissioning.
Does anyone remember Russia invaded Georgia under Bush? Or no?
Jeb’s line about Saturday morning shows in re where Trump gets his info made me lol.
re: #272 InfidelOfFreedom
Christie is such a raging asshole.
It should be noted that Christie’s campaign never got off the ground because he was not consistently enough a big enough asshole to satisfy the GOP base.
man, I think they’ve found the weak spot to attack Trump. Saturday or Sunday morning shows.
Jeb?: I know what I don’t know.
Quoted verbatim.
Jeb!: the B-52 was introduced during the Eisenhower administration, not during Truman’s.

The USS Gerald Ford was approved in 2008 but won’t be commissioned until next March.

REMARKS BY PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH AT THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR DEMOCRACY
Iraqi democracy will succeed — and that success will send forth the news, from Damascus to Teheran — that freedom can be the future of every nation. (Applause.) The establishment of a free Iraq at the heart of the Middle East will be a watershed event in the global democratic revolution. (Applause.)
Jeb had his Charley moment, now he’s retarded again.

So to sum it all up in one word. KILL. Thank you and good night.

Carson giving a sleepy history lesson about citizen something something something…
Do they give more time for Carson answers? If they held him to the limit he would get two words in.
Zzzzzzz.
re: #304 Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All
Got under Trumps skin. Bush wins that round hardore.
I don’t think Trumps fans will have the same opinion. They just saw Trump insult the establishment on stage and make it stick.
Hewitt asks Carson what the hell makes him think he can lead the troops. Carson says he has experiencing building things and operating things.
So a housecat can be President, then.
re: #247 Brian J.

re: #285 InfidelOfFreedom
Does anyone remember Russia invaded Georgia under Bush? Or no?
The only invasion of Georgia they might mention is Sherman marching through.
So let’s see, the GOP wants war with:
Mexico
Russia
China
And pretty much all Muslim nations. Is that about right?

Rubio wants people not to get citizenship until they’ve had 10 years on a work permit and some other stuff I’ve zoned out.
This could be for Hispanics what Goldwater’s campaign was for blacks- what takes a 65/35 demographic and makes it 90/10.
Funny how Cruz invokes Reagan when criticizing Rubio about amnesty, when Reagan fought for and won the last amnesty back in 1987.
