I don’t expect Trump to go after Cruz despite the hype, he’s always tamer in debates. But what about Bush? This is his last chance really to try and get out of his 5% jail. And Christie needs to break out too. And Cruz and Rubio have a fight over 2nd and 3rd place so maybe some sparks there.
AdLib 4 days ago
Hey Jeb!. Florida will soon be underwater!
KillgoreTrout

Just like Jeb!
AdLib 4 days ago

Rubio NEVER answers a question, just twists it to deliver canned speeches.
AdLib 4 days ago
No kidding. What is he talking about?
escribacat

Right, we haven’t been reaching out to moderate Muslims anywhere. Lying shit heads.

Ted Cruz on the stump:

He’s the neighborhood vaginal probe salesman!
KillgoreTrout

And how would you stop terrorism, Christie?
AdLib 4 days ago
I’m not scared Chris.
KillgoreTrout

We are all terrified! We are all under our beds. How many hundred thousand have been killed with guns compared to the scary terrorists?
escribacat

“I’m Chris Christie, as long as we can take all privacy away from Americans, they can be free!”
AdLib 4 days ago
Not to mention obesity and cigarettes, e’cat.
kesmarn
4 days ago
How about Christian terrorists who shoot up PP clinics because he’s been brainwashed by the right’s constant fear mongering and lies.
KillgoreTrout
4 days ago
They should ask Fiorina about that, KT.
kesmarn
4 days ago
I personally will listen to every single phone call
escribacat
4 days ago
BTW, I am very angry at the school board out here in LA, damn cowards instilling fear in the state and country!

Kasich – We can’t walk and chew gum. We can’t tackle Climate Change and ISIS, only one or the other. I have a narrow mind, I’m a Repub!”

KillgoreTrout
4 days ago
Gee, I bet they never thought of any of that.
escribacat
4 days ago
Does it seem like Cruz’s face is going to collapse into itself?
escribacat
4 days ago
I thought it already had!
KillgoreTrout
4 days ago
Kes – Exactly, this was an obvious hoax for that reason. Did you see what the Superintendent of Schools looks like? A tiny, elderly, cowardly looking man. Terrible example of a “leader”.
AdLib 4 days ago
This whole debate is a Fearfest! Keep watching, they will do their best to be the biggest fear monger and the biggest one wins?
AdLib 4 days ago
Like all those mass murderers that got their guns legally?
KillgoreTrout
4 days ago
I was surprised at how frail that superintendent looked, AdLib.
kesmarn
4 days ago
Did Cruz purposely sip from a bottle of water while Rubio spoke???
AdLib 4 days ago
Kes – That Super probably gets scared by the sound of his wrinkles crinkling.

Oh snap!
KillgoreTrout

KT – Because he’s a dick?
AdLib 4 days ago
BINGO! Give that man a cigar!
KillgoreTrout

LIAR!
KillgoreTrout

Christie’s gimmick is getting tired. He comments on a discussion or questions as crap…then talks about how successful New Jersey has been in the fight against ISIS?
AdLib 4 days ago
Christie: “I don’t understand what they’re talking about. So you don’t either.”
kesmarn
4 days ago
Who got bin Laden? Eh?
KillgoreTrout

Kes – “I don’t want you to consider any ideas but mine!”

Carson can’t express an opinion on a debate between Rubio and Cruz? He’s worthless.
AdLib 4 days ago
e’cat’s right. He wasn’t listening.
kesmarn

All together now. All together now!
KillgoreTrout

More fear! Come on, Repubs! My fear level is sinking and I want to eat pork rinds instead! Scare me, dudes!
AdLib 4 days ago
I want to know what they’re going to do about those psycho trump supporters. They scare me.

This is like a forum on how to turn America into a fascist country.
