Too bad it wasn't Gregorian. Or some of that freaky Tibetan two-voice stuff.


So, is the conflating border security with radical Islam a thing now? Islamexicans is a real GOP bugaboo?

Also, Rubio-Cruz are so cute when they fight.


EDIT: Yeah, this is definitely a pro-establishment crowd tonight. Booing Trump and Cruz? Applauding Jeb and Rubio?

@smjjames: That's a standard tactic of the GOP, to basically say "America is the greatest country in the world. And everything in it sucks now and is broken." It's a fun little bit of cognitive dissonance.

EDIT: Nice move by Trump there -- touch of a Cincinnatus thing by promising to step away from all his wealth for the good of the country.
Did he?  Sounded more like he's letting a couple of lieutenants manage it for him, but he seemed to be dodging the question about putting money in a trust.

Yeah, but that nuance is going to be lost on most of the people inclined to support him.


And look at Jeb, getting all fiesty!

Since when was the American military weak? This seems to be something everyone on stage agrees on.
Inability to kill everybody else on the planet at will = weak

They think the military should be rippling with muscle like Zeus, with nukes for nipples.

Cruz didn't seem to be booed all that much. At least we see how Trump interacts with an unfriendly crowd for once.

Crowd was booing him pretty harsh when he fired back after Rubio's onslaught.

And then Jeb's all like "Pfft....this is why the Senate be a bunch of wack-ass bitches, amirite?"


Have to say, I think it's been a good night for Bush and Rubio. Losers are probably Carson and Christie and maybe Cruz (he got accused of a LOT of flip-flopping)

Closing Statements, baby.

Kasich: I'm totally a blue collar populist who's gonna take down the liberal Man, man.
Bush: Florida is great, as you can clearly see. Please, please suddenly vote for me.
Christie: Yes...feel the disgust, the despair of the new Liberal America. Accept the blessing of the only true god, Nurgle.
Carson: We gotta stop the interest groups, maaaan, #CarsonBlazeIt.
Rubio: God wants you to be a capitalist, but the Unamericans among us are workers of inequity. We must dissent.
Cruz: BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI OBAMA IS A FUCKING TRAITOR RISE UP AND FUCK THE SYSTEM, FUCK CLINTON, GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Trump: Hey, remember that Iranian thing that happened yesterday? That we got them back proves the deal is bad.

Cruz had a big loss when he insulted New York and Trump blocked with 9/11.

Closing Statements!!


Kasich: Americans feel like politics is hardmode, but my grandfather had black lung and my grandmother couldn't speak English and...where was I going with this again? God Bless America.

Bush: I know what I'm doing. Vote for me.

Christie: Fuck that SOTU, right? America needs to fight. Fight terrorists. Fight special interests. Fight a cripple over a bottle of vodka. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT.

Carson: As I've traveled, I've met so Americans who are discouraged and angry. And I'm one of them because my campaign is fucked.

Rubio: Obama wants to make America like the rest of the world, which is worse than sodomizing a flaming puppy.

Cruz: When I'm elected, political correctness will DIE. I will kill it with my bare hands.

Trump: I watched 75 construction workers cry because 10 sailors were detained for less than a day and released unharmed. Worst hostage crisis ever.

Ironic, considering Trump outright said everything the New York Times prints is lies.

Was kinda nice seeing Carson chat with that token black guy in the audience. I guess they'd have a lot to chat about.

Cruz really seemed to be under attack almost the whole debate. From Trump early on, from Rubio later.

I know it started as a dank meme, but I'm seriously starting to believe that Ben Carson is constantly baked on something. Maybe more vicodin than weed, but that man is not sober.

I've been saying that for MONTHS. Sober dudes just don't talk like that. Or do the blinking thing and the "i'mma take a deep breath to try and clear my head before I say the next crazy shit that comes into my mind" thing.

Ben Carson seemed less stoned than usual at this debate.
