Just tuning into this, any big moments happen so far?

Kaisich awkwardly attacked Trump on immigration, Trump said he's a billionaire and doesn't have to listen to this, crowd booed, Jeb jumped in to say how Hillary is rejoicing hearing Trump's positions on immigration.

Otherwise just a bunch of softball questions and standard republican talking points.

 

[Linkyn]

Did Cruz just say he'll eliminate the Department of Energy?

And both departments of commerce.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Are her lips natural? (The moderator)

 

[ibyea]

Great, Bush is talking about his fantasy 4% growth.

 

[Simmins]

So if you get rid of the IRS, who is going to enforce the tax code? Or identify those who are trying to cheat. Or prevent widespread financial fraud?

 

[User1608]

It really is something. I'm constantly saying, "my God is different from yours."

Wouldn't surprise me at all to find out they invoke God to trick their constituents while not giving a damn about religion in their personal lives.

 

[Extollere]

Republicans really do hate government... it's incredible.

 

[Konka]

Did Cruz say Department of Commerce twice?

Yes.

 

[Y2Kev]

Bush really needs to stop talking about Hillary Clinton. He ain't getting that far unless he can take down the people on the stage.

 

[mackaveli]

Do all these flat taxes have an assumption gdp will grow to 7% in order for these tax cuts not to generate a deficit? Like how do any of these flat tax proposals balance?

 

[UnforgivenTwin]

Kill it twice!!!

Kill it thrice!

 

[Joe Molotov]

Jeb Bush is saying some words, cherish this moment friends!

Bush really needs to stop talking about Hillary Clinton. He ain't getting that far unless he can take down the people on the stage.

He can't take on anyone that's actually present.

 

[params7]

Rick Perry 2.0

Not as bad as Rick Perry but damn close.

 

[redhood56]

Bush really needs to stop talking about Hillary Clinton. He ain't getting that far unless he can take down the people on the stage.

But when he tried he just gets humiliated

 

[Whiskeymatt]

You can start a business with just $2300, huh?

 

[aspiegamer]

I was away for the first half, who's "winning"?

No one? None of them are actually answering the questions, they're not being held accountable for it, and they're not engaging one another. The few times anyone has interrupted Trump has crushed them.

 

[Ovid]

He wants to get rid of HUD.

So the poor can't have health care, food, houses......do we get bootstraps or do we have to provide our own?

Ridiculous.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Why does Jeb Factorial look so mad tho?

 

[Sianos]

Did Cruz just say he'll eliminate the Department of Energy?

i think he just tried to name five random government departments and failed

 

[Chichikov]

Do all these flat taxes have an assumption gdp will grow to 7% in order for these tax cuts not to generate a deficit? Like how do any of these flat tax proposals balance?

By making "tough decisions" to cut benefits since we have a huge deficit coming out of nowhere.

All according to plan.

 

[Officerrob]

So if you get rid of the IRS, who is going to enforce the tax code? Or identify those who are trying to cheat. Or prevent widespread financial fraud?

You can probably get a handfull of people to do that since the tax code will only be 3 pages

 

[kingkitty]

where you at Trump

 

[RPGCrazied]

I was away for the first half, who's "winning"?

Rubio

 

[Stinkles]

You can start a business with just $2300, huh?

Trump did that at LEAST.

 

[Future PhaZe]

just got back from class

whats the summary so far

 

[Makai]

I hate flag pins

 

[Y2Kev]

It's like Gaffe Hour.

 

[params7]

President or Parent? Rubio confuses me.

 

[Prompto]

Did Rubio just fuck up there or did I mishear?

 

[Hexa]

Rubio oopsed too. Freudian slip?

 

[Veldin]

LOL

 

[Manmademan]

Do all these flat taxes have an assumption gdp will grow to 7% in order for these tax cuts not to generate a deficit? Like how do any of these flat tax proposals balance?

they don't. the point of flat taxes is that they're something the base can comprehend as "simpler" and "simpler" must be better.

there's no way to actually make them work in practice.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

no dude, being a president is more important

 

[Linkyn]

I think he just said "president" when he meant to say "parent"

 

[Jarmel]

Did Rubio just fuck up there or did I mishear?

Yea he fucked up.

 

[213372bu]

I was away for the first half, who's "winning"?

Rubio.

 

[Chris R]

Can I get a zero child tax credit?

 

[Charles Alan Ratliff]

Did Rubio just fuck up there or did I mishear?

I was about to ask the same thing. I think he fucked up.

 

[Krixeus]

President or Parent? Rubio confuses me.

Freudian slip.

 

[Quonny]

Every time Rubio speaks I imagine cheesy patriotic music playing in the background.

 

[Hopfrog]

Do all these flat taxes have an assumption gdp will grow to 7% in order for these tax cuts not to generate a deficit? Like how do any of these flat tax proposals balance?

Dynamic growth. Say it like a mantra, it makes just as much sense.

 

[CloudyTuba]

Sounds like a wonderland for these people.

 

[Cymbal Head]

I cringed at this because it's so true.

 

[Frustrated_me]

He's a robot isn't he?

 

[theshizzle]

"The most important job is President" - Rubio

 

[Chichikov]

just got back from class

whats the summary so far

Rubio is running to the office of a parent.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Rubio just had a bit of a Freudian slip there, saying "president" when he clearly meant "parent."

 

[RoKKeR]

Most important job for everyone? Being president.

Roger that.

 

[old]

I want my president to put being a president first.

 

[params7]

where you at Trump

He's trying to hide. Trump is powerful only when the opposition is trying to attack him. He loses steam in pure policy debates, lol.
