What is what? Also, I don't think there is a bell, just lights.

Carson: "Can someone attack me, please?"

Man, he's so desperate it's sad.

[TheDarkStar]

"Can someone attack me now?"

[Malt_Hitman]

Carson: Could somebody attack me, please?

Oh, wow.  I'm laughing far too hard now.

[smjjames]

I think I ninja'd you two, but yeah, he really said that and it's just sad...... lol

Or not according to the time.

[smjjames]

yay wolf blitzer putting his foot down here.

[smirk]

Done, and back!

End of the last mess, a lonely voice floats in from Stage Right: "My name was mentioned..."
Carson, you sweet summer child.

And the candidates do not appear to understand Apple's argument for why it would be a bad idea to create a backdoor.

[smirk]

For small gov't types, they seem pretty gung-ho to give the feds that much power.

Trump: BUILD A WALL AND STOP THE ISIS MEXICAN HEROIN ADDICT DRUG RUNNERS

And the candidates do not appear to understand Apple's argument for why it would be a bad idea to create a backdoor.

Their argument though is that Apple is misunderstanding them and that it isn't actually a backdoor.

Kasich is like 'lock both sides in a room and don't let them out until you come to an agreement'.

...How can they not understand that international trade is good?

I can't take Carson seriously. And he just ignored the question entirely.

Certainly, but the operant question should be who is it good for?  It is generally good in aggregate, especially for the US as the biggest single economic top dog (typically not so much for nations attempting to build a domestic industry, but that's irrelevant to this case).  That, however, doesn't stop many voting people (especially working class) from being harmed by it in both the short- and long-term, and those people have no reason not to vote their pocketbooks just because of some free market ideal that they perceive themselves as reaping no benefits from.  Indeed, the disenchanted and disaffected have greater reason to vote for people pushing more radical ideas like the Tea Partiers or, heavens forfend, Trump, in an attempt to shake up existing political institutions. 

Of course, I'm not watching the debate, so I have no idea whose line prompted this particular observation.  Could have been Jeb, though that would surprise me.

[TheDarkStar]

It was mostly Trump. It's not Jeb because he suspended his campaign a few days ago.

[smirk]

OH SHIT, Carson's hands. How could I forget? He's got my vote.

E: It's over! Hmm. From just seeing the beginning and end, it seemed like Rubio came out pretty well. Better than he's done before, anyway. Was he that way through the entire thing?

Closing comments:

Ben Carson: I am the greatest surgeon ever. These hands? Vote for them. They are excellent.
Kasich: I can actually beat Clinton. And I can lower taxes.
Rubio: Help me protect the Republican party from itself *cough* Trump and Cruz *cough*
Cruz: I will undo everything that Obama did. Ever. No, really. And I'll get rid of healthcare and the IRS.
Trump: I will get it done. MAKE AMERICAN GREAT AGAIN.
