The Republican Debate of 9/16/15. What are your expectations?

He’s right. If you count what is called “the West”. Canada is the only other one.

Wow Christie is pissed, LOL!

A lot of Latin American countries do, and “the West” includes Latin America.

Kasich took the chance to preen on his record. And it is, in this field, an impressive one.

I dozed off for a minute and woke up to hear Kasich talking about “doing it in both places” and “taking various positions” and I didn’t know what to think.

And did he just try to take credit for the great economy of 2000?? Might not want to mention who had been in office for 8 years at the time.

Trump says progressive taxation is “not socialistic”! :eek:

Walker says he’s going to sign an executive order to “make Congress live by the same rules as everyone else.” He seems unclear on the separation-of-powers concept.

Yeah okay.

Not a single sound when Huckabee introduced himself. Not much laughter when Rubio (and where is he? he’s gone missing after his introduction) made his water joke.

Huckabee continues to sell the lies about Planned Parenthood.

Christie continues to lie about his 9/11 federal attorney-ship. I also laughed when he asked the crowd to raise their hands if they thought their kids would be worse off than they are today, and the entire white crowd kept silent. Yeah, not surprised.

Donald lies about having never gone bankrupt.

No, Marco Rubio, your grandfather did not escape Cuba in the way you want us to think.

Trump lied when he said he didn’t try to put a casino into Florida - http://www.addictinginfo.org/2015/09/16/fact-check-did-jeb-cckblock-trumps-florida-casino/

See “developing world” or “third world”.

In Kasich’s defense (I’m about to puke in my mouth)… he actually was one of the key players in the Balanced Budget Act of 1997.

Too many people on stage. This is a pointless waste of air-time. Haven’t heard hardly a word from half of them.

I don’t doubt that he might have played a part, but raving about the great economy and balanced budget of 2000 is sort of like throwing darts at the Republican bubble.

Name a country that views us better than they did before Barack Obama was president. England, Ireland, Germany, The rest of Europe? I don’t know. Barack is the devil!!!

When we invade voids are created. not when we pull back.

Am I going crazy, or is Rand Paul sounding particularly sane tonight?.. well,except for the beginning bit when he listed “defending the constitution” as his hobby or something-

Apparently it’s the “fear” section of the debate

Guys, did you know we were attacked in December, not September? Christie was appointed US attorney on Dec 7, 2001.

911!911!
911!911!

Which has a zone of Boolean intersection with what we call “Western Civilization” – there is no defensible definition of the latter that includes the U.S. but not Mexico, etc.
