Republican debate or Roman Colliseum

[SpeedRacerXXX]

I enjoyed the debate. Yes, a handful of the questions were horrible. Yes, many of the candidates simply would not shut up (e.g. Carly). I don't think any of the candidates did anything to distance themselves from the others. I simply think there are too many candidates at this time to get a great deal out of them in 2 hours.

Interesting that no one so far has given an opinion on which candidates "won" and which candidates "lost". Forget for a moment the panel and the Democratic debate.

There must have been another debate on besides the one I watched on CNBC.

Either that, are the narrative written by the OP was written before the debate ever took place.

In short, you can sum up the Democrat vs Republican debates like this.

The Democrats spent their time telling their supporters how much they are willing to take from someone else and give to them...........while the Republicans spent most of their time telling their supporters how they can keep the Government from doing that.

By the way. The big losers last night were the CNBC moderators. Score.....10 to 0

The Republicans presented a united front against Hildabeast and the dim-retard, lame-stream media, speedy. They all won!

The media represented by the hecklers at the debates have the dilemma of trying to find something factually correct to say positive about their preference for POTUS ... AKA Hellarious .... and having failed miserably at that ....

.. only have Republican bashing left to help out the Clintons in 2016.

Sound familiar? Look at the threads in this forum!!!!

The least they could do is commend Hellarious for being a "good wife" ...

.. and supporting her husband by allowing him to sexually harass interns...

...and other female subordinants.

Come on!! We all knew that that was a given. At this point in time Hillary should not be on their minds to a large degree. They have to separate themselves from each other. What does each Republican candidate have to offer that the others can't match? That is what these "debates" are supposed to determine.

The moderators wanted to talk about comic books and Fantasy Football; hence, the discussion developed as it did. But, hey, that's the moderator's failure. Furthermore, several of the candidates did illustrate that anyone of them would be far better than any of the Mensheviks and Bolsheviks on the left.

I think the Republicans should really screw with their heads ....

... a Black Presidential candidate and a female VP candidate.

Slogan: If you don't vote Republican you are a Racist-Misogynist.

At this point four years ago Herman Caine was leading in the polls. Today Dr Carson is either leading or in second depending on the poll.

Yet the media will justify the narrative that the Republicans are "racists who will do anything to not cooperate with a black President."

As with the debate last night, the real issue is the Republicans can't control the forum - even with the Fox News moderators.

As I wrote several months ago the Republicans need to put certain networks on notice that they will not participate in the national debate on their network if they continue to bash Republicans. One moderator knowing lied about Rubio's budget plan and double down on the lie. The Republicans can't afford another Candy Crowley incident and it will easily materialize if Hillary is the nominee and starts losing in the debates.

I agree that the moderators left a lot to be desired. However, no one is answering the question I am asking. Which of the 10 candidates do you believe did anything to distance himself/herself from the other 9 candidates in the debate? There is a lot more hatred of Hillary than there was of Obama in 2008 so the Republicans have an excellent opportunity to get the White House back.

Republican primary politics has utterly disintegrated into a bizarre circus sideshow.

Works perfectly for you idiots, right? Right in your wheelhouse. Tell us all about how proud you are of the ridiculous spectacle.

The lib-retard panelists had their asses handed to them, Little Timmy-tard. Those lib-retards lie like rugs, and the Republicans walked all over their sorry asses.

Additionally, there is only one "l" in coliseum.

Rubio and Cruz bettered their positions substantially. Kasich, Christie and Huckabee all had polished moments. Trump, Fiorina and Carson held their places. Bush lost ground.

So you think the CNBC people are idiots as well. That makes it unanimous. Now lets talk about how ridiculous the democratic debates are going to be with some guy, another who has already given up, and your queen. Instead of a debate it will be a infomercial.

[nevergaveitathought]

once more an unveiling of the liberal media, as if there are still deniers of the inherent bias

although I think the idiots at huffpo still do deny

most every question asked by liberal media has a liberal orientation and begins with the liberal view as a given and asks from that point of view

just once id love to see an entire debate with questions that start from a conservative point of view, it would be especially nice if it was in a dimocrat debate.

what will the government do about the trillion dollars of student debt? how about quit loaning money? tuition would fall dramatically and the fat cat administrators with ever increasing $400,000 life time pensions would have to get a job. and the kids would have to straighten up too
