Nastiest GOP Debate Yet
politico.com ^ | February 13

Posted on 02/13/2016 8:29:54 PM PST by Helicondelta

An all-out brawl broke out on Saturday night's debate stage, as the GOP candidates viciously tried to wound each other ahead of next weekend's South Carolina primary.

Donald Trump skewered Jeb Bush for standing by his brother and the Iraq War. Bush slammed John Kasich for supporting Obamacare's Medicaid expansion. Marco Rubio and Trump called Ted Cruz a serial liar, and Cruz bit back, retorting that Rubio is weak on undocumented immigrants

Trump did fantastic. That close was a cut above. Coffee is for closers only!

Nice Glengarry reference. When I think of Reince Priebus, I think of the Kevin Spacey character, and how Al Pacino rips him a new one ("Where did you learn your trade?") Once of the greatest scenes in movie history.

Online polls are meaningless. Based on tonight, I can confidently predict that Trump will lose SC.

Rubio accused Cruz of not speaking Spanish, and Cruz called him out, in Spanglish.

Rubio acting like a black calling a black conservative an Uncle Tom for not being a democrat.

Rubio is a lying weasel, pro amnesty,never had a real job in his life, always in politics.

The rankings of tonights debate

Trump
Carson
Rubio
Kasich
Cruz
Bush

Cruz was horrible. I am sure it was because he had Scalia on his mind and wasn’t effective. He lied a few times and was called out on it. He really should drop out. He is making a mockery of being a Christian.

Trump supporters had 13,000 votes in favor of his winning before the first question was asked. He’s playing the electronic media.

So it is bad for Donald Trump to have democrats vote for him in the general election? They will be disappointed when Trump gets Congress to defund Planned Parenthood, but he can always say they were mislead by JEB! and Ted Cruz ;-)

When the secret 28 pages of the 9/11 report finally come out, everyone will think the same as Donald Trump on the Bushes and 9/11. As soon as Trump is elected President he will start getting the President’s Daily Brief and he can ask to see whatever he wants. I would not be surprised if they weren’t adding a SCIF to the Trump International Hotel on Pennsylvania Ave.

Bush did not lie about WMD.

They were found.

Even the NYT admits this.

The Duelfer Report by the CIA disclosed the weapons and their locations long before Bush left office.

Only the Left maintains this view of the Iraq war.

Trump is showing who he really is— deeply Left.

He will make America great by making us a one party country governed by the Left.

That will not make us great.

The idea that invading Iraq was more of a cause to current difficulties than the deliberate withdrawal of forces is absurd.

Trump and his supporters appeal to a notion of unanimity created by the Left.

Bush lied. That popular view is false but Trump is delighted to rely upon it because it pulls in independents and conservative democrats.

When? I hope I live long enough to view the Warren Report.

I saw the parts your talking about. he correctly stated that 9-11 happened on Bush's watch and that the invasion of Iraq,which he was against, destabilized the middle east and greatly contributed to what we have now. that's important because Jeb Bush is claiming to be some kind of a foreign policy genius like his brother. As far as PP goes, he's defending women's health policies. period. he isn't defending or supporting abortion and he said as much.

I'm not interested in fighting with you or any other freepers over this primary business. I'm just calling it how I see it. he's trying not to drive away women voters and he correctly pointed out the Bush brand's influence over current middle eastern events.

Reince Preibus should be looking for a new job by Monday afternoon.

I'd really like to see someone go "Ricky Roma" on Reince, "Where did you learn your trade?...." like in Glengarry, Glen Ross. He is so useless.
