These guys do realize that they're not running for President against Barack Obama, don't they?  He's not going to leave any faster because they make forceful monologues about him.
They're probably banking on their base not realizing that. :P

I mean, it's more interesting then "Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are literally Mussolini and Stalin respectively" (obviously Obama will always be Hitler).

Ted Cruz: "Obama is so stupid. Why he can't be smart? And less cowardly. A vote for Obama/Clinton is a vote for Ayatollah Hitler." Kasich: "No, maybe the Iran deal isn't literally the Holocaust" Huckabee: "No, I'm pretty sure that its literally the Holocaust".

And then Huckabee goes on some rant about Fort Hood, Kim Davis, and Gitmo.

Can any Floridians fact check whether Trump wanted to build casinos in Florida as Bush claims and Trump denies?
Trump did hire someone to lobby for loosened gambling laws down here, apparently. Multiple times, by the look of it -- Ballard in '13, some guy named Horne at some point before that. Maybe more. Also commented at some point that if casinos were a thing, some of his properties would be good places for 'em. Straight up said that if miami didn't do casinos, it would be a "terrible mistake".

It's pretty safe to say trump's expressed interest in wanting to get some gambling businesses up and running in florida.

Fiorina goes *there* and implies Planned Parenthood harvested organs from fully formed fetuses while they were still alive O.o That sounds so much like fearmongering that I'm not sure it's accurate.

Also, 'My good friend Netanyhu'? I doubt he even knows who Fiorina is.

I realize this is fictional, but I've never been more proud of Governor Kasich than I was when I read this post. He's managed very well to make himself the Only Sane Man. Which I realize isn't saying much, even less so because that's apparently not what Republicans want, but still.

Talking about that incredibly doctored film that set off the latest round of trying to wreck women in america, she was, probably. It's actually a pretty beautiful piece of editing, taking 9 minutes out of a three hour bit of video and making it say a complete and utter fabrication. It is indeed fearmongering, and not just fearmongering but straight up lies.

Amusingly(?), there's a portion of the house is intent on causing a government shutdown over that particular bit of vicious and entirely invented slander.

What's the actual dictionary of amnesty because people give it so many different definitions that it has completely lost meaning to me, I have no idea what amnesty is supposed to mean.

Meanwhile, Fiorina has forgotten the immigration bill that the House torpedoed and is just ranting, while Trump is like "The fourteenth amendment doesn't say birthright citizenship", and Rand Paul is like "Trumps has a point. Courts have never ruled on it. It only applies to slaves"

And then CNN goes "TRUMP, FIORINA, YOU ARE BOTH BUSINESS PEOPLE. FIGHT OVER WHO IS THE BETTER BUSINESS".

Oi. I'm a Republican and I like Kasich.

To be fair, I'm our token Republican who doesn't fall in line with mainstream GOP views, and thinks that they seriously could actually win votes if they just dropped abortion and gay marriage, and pulled back on immigration.

Also, this debate...eh. I'm not sure what to think yet, everybody is acting how I expected.

Edit: jesus cnn is this even a debate.

I do agree that CNN isn't doing this debate very well. It actually seems like they are trying something new or something.

I'm sure we all remember that experiment with including Youtube in the debate, which was, well, wierd at times.

They're talking about tax stuff atm.

Does anybody find Trumps body movements a bit funny somehow? I mean, he moves around so damn much, like he has ADHD or something.
