Did Rubio's voice quiver there a little?

He's been scared since Rand went in that ass.

 

[Owzers]

how is Carly saying anything important right now? Why let her talk?

 

[biosnake20]

this is awful

 

[Makai]

BZZZZZZTTT

 

[D i Z]

If you focus on Cruz' hair plugs instead of his face when he speaks, the creep factor diminishes by a factor of 5.

 

[rjinaz]

Bush, Carson, and Trump are here, right?

 

[Anton Sugar]

Some good gifs from these moderators.

 

[RoKKeR]

lol the moderators are meaningless

The bell has become background music.

 

[Frustrated_me]

Ding ding ding . . .

 

[Dragon]

Shut up Carly.

 

[B33]

This question has gone completely off the rails, holy fuck.

Which encapsulates the far right.

 

[Draconian]

Somebody should've gotten Cruz to back off. Now everyone's going to chime in.

 

[Cymbal Head]

The Bell is for aesthetic purposes only.

 

[Azure Dream]

lol the moderators are meaningless

*ding-ding*

 

[old]

Moderator is a doormat.

 

[params7]

Rand Paul is spitting truth here but I doubt anyone else gives a shit

I will always have hope as long as the Pauls are in the congress.

Rand Paul sounds sane. Where is Trump?

Trump is more or less for the same isolation policy regarding Middle East.

THREE PAGE TAX CODE

 

[Simmins]

Every time I turn into to watch these debates I think I've seen the most unprofessional clown car reality show excuse for a "debate". Yet every time they find a way to surprise me.

 

[Whiskeymatt]

THREE PAGE TAX CODE DOESN'T EVEN MEAN ANYTHING

STOP SAYING THAT LIKE IT MEANS SOMETHING

 

[mackaveli]

Who will monitor where all this money goes if we shrink government? Who will monitor all this shit.

 

[Y2Kev]

Oh hai donald

 

[NormalFish]

I really like the bell. Very aesthetic.

 

[AnotherNils]

I know the candidates would never allow it, but the moderators need mute buttons, around the horn style

 

[Future PhaZe]

lol @ the high level discussion and then trump comes in with some chidish ass bullshit

 

[RPGCrazied]

I'll make it so big and so strong, nobody will mess with us.

Yeah, sure Trump, whatever you say.

 

[chadskin]

Trump trying to be presidential there.

 

[Violater]

Trump is so out of his depth at this point.

I sort of miss the CNBC guys.

Welp.

 

[Square2015]

Go Rand go!

 

[Grizzlyjin]

The moderators have zero control at the moment.

 

[LosDaddie]

Rubio holding his own.
Trump & Carson being quiet.
Jeb still trying to get attention.

😂@Rand

One of these guys has to body Rubio, he's a surefire threat in a GE against even Hillary. Fuck my bet.

Ruibio is going to be the nom. Accept it.

 

[Makai]

I was SURE they were going to slap Trump down.

 

[aspiegamer]

Aaaahaha, Trump swings in and take the pot at the end.

 

[Shalashaska]

LOL

 

[Owzers]

Trump coming in with truth bombs we aren't ready to hear. We have to make America great again.

Patron is alive and well, blizzard didn't do anything.

 

[Frustrated_me]

LOL

 

[Slayven]

Goddamn what a shit show, it is embarressing

 

[B33]

I look forward to hearing the bullet points of this debate next time my father calls me.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

The best parts are where the candidates actually disagree and make arguments for why one plan is better than the other. When it's just "Candidate, repeat your previously stated position" for each question, it's boring.

 

[Manmademan]

Paul's line of argument is so weird to me. Democrats don't argue about whether a policy is liberal, they just debate the policy.

Paul is an ideologue. Everything he does is determined by how close it hews to his personal ideology which is "government should do nothing ever."

 

[Angelus Errare]

Oh now they're about "fair".

 

[Cyan]

Oh snap the moderator didn't roll over!

 

[Sianos]

good job there, moderators

kasich: "sorry to keep you waiting~~"

 

[213372bu]

Stop cutting off Maria Bartiromo by saying "I want to know"


It's fucking with my head.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

This is free for all lol..

 

[WGMBY]

Why do they even bother with the bell anymore?

Florida went 20 seconds over. FFS these moderators are shit. They're losing control of the debate fast.
Edit: Fiorina not Florida

 

[params7]

Crush TPP Trump.

 

[moomoo14]

Carson is against raising the minimum wage. He apparently believes that God is a big part of his life. This is not consistent.

Paying people more money drives more economic growth than lowering taxes. It's based on actual data over the course of the last 100 years in the United States.

Didn't Carson say in the CNN debate that regarding the minimum wage, that there should be one that is determined by an impartial group of experts that then adjusts with the economy each year?

He's against raising the minimum wage on a national level by the extent that people wish for it to ($15). He is against it because he believes that raising it to that extent would cause a loss of jobs that would hurt the poor. And that general sentiment is what the other candidates on that stage have as well.

I fail to see how not raising the minimum wage is inherently un-Christian. Yes, you could argue that it is because it hurts the poor, but what if, perhaps, a person believes that help for the poor should come from forces outside of the government, forcing that responsibility on actual people rather than on an abstract force that doesn't have an exact face (aka the government)? These are Republicans after all, and generally speaking, they seek a smaller form of government as the ideal. I don't see how that's an inherently wrong way of going about things. It's just a different one.

BTW, I don't endorse Ben, I think a flat tax isn't helpful, and I think he'd make a poor president, but saying he's hypocritical because he doesn't believe a $15 minimum wage is a little ridiculous, in my opinion.

 

[ibyea]

lol at kasich trying to get a word in

 

[sk3]

Kasich is pulling a Webb. He's desperate and will probably drop out within a week.
