Grading the South Carolina Debate: Trump, Carson, Rubio, Cruz, Kasich, Bush
Opinion ^ | 14 Feb 16 | Xzins

Posted on 02/14/2016 4:36:44 AM PST by xzins

1. Trump, A+ -- Fought like a champion. Finally, someone with the guts to call out our nation for being 15 years at war, still killing our sons and daughters so politicians can put a feather in their cap, and most of them calling for more war. Bush wants BWIII, Bush War III

2. Carson, A-, quietly but effectively said that he was in it for the people, that he'd been asked to run, and that he wasn't there for any other reason. Outstanding.

3. Rubio, B+, Say what you like, but Rubio wiped the floor with Cruz on the immigration question. The April 2015 video shows Cruz supporting 'talking about what to do with immigrants after the wall is built.' It shows him calling for massive increases in H1B visas.

4. Cruz, C, Clearly the most knowledgeable about the supreme court vacancy. He needs to stop misrepresenting others' positions. Trump called him out on the Planned Parenthood question. Trump has clearly called for defunding PP if they keep doing abortions. If they voluntarily stop doing abortions, then he would support their doing breast exams and pap smears and the like.

5. Kasich, C, Did a Mr. Rogers in the neighborhood act. Hillary Clinton will eat his lunch.

6. Bush, F-, This man is totally lacking in insight. He actually called for another war in the middle east AND he wants to fund Al Qaeda in Syria. He's simply not up to the task.

in other words you like to spread the same falsehoods as the others on Trump’s position on PP

here is what Trump told Laura Ingraham last year

Laura Ingraham: Yesterday, Planned Parenthood was exposed again in an eighth video released by the Center for Medical Progress. Do you still believe there are two Planned Parenthoods or is it time to defund this organization?

Donald Trump: Well, you should DEFUND ANYWAY BECAUSE THEY ARE DOING ABORTIONS. It is like an ABORTION FACTORY, which is terrible. So you should DEFUND anyway. But those videos are horrible. Every time you see them, they get worse and worse. And its not only that, the messengers are so bad. There always, I mean these people, what they say and the way they, its like you are selling parts to an automobile or something. Its a terrible situation going on with Planned Parenthood. Theres no question about it.

"If they stop doing abortions, then they do breast exams and pap smears."

PP is rotten to the core - their primary purpose has been and always will be abortions - killing babies for fun and profit - what don't you understand about that.
They will not and cannot be reformed. They are not altruistic, they are evil.

It is an entitlement. Almost all of seniors will receive far more than they paid in. Of course the younger generation won’t receive squat Soni guess it evens out.

Not everyone has the money to go to a private doctor.

Yep. Carson won because of INTEGRITY.

I’d have him over Bush, Rubio, Cruz, or Kasich any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

I’d be able to trust that I was dealing with an honest man.

You and I saw two completely different debates. For me, Trump went bananas.

"You are lying like Cruz. Trump didn’t defend PP last night at all."

Trump said PP does a lot of good things. And that is a bloody lie.

He fought.

You’ve never seen those politicians fight for what they believe in.

That’s why trillion dollar budgets get passed, why conservatives get backstabbed in elections like McDaniels did, why we’re 15 years into a war that no one is trying to win, why these braindead folks want ANOTHER war in Syria while funding the very people who brought down the Twin Towers.

Yeah. I’d go nuclear on those weasels, too.

The republican congress fully funded planned parenthood in the budget they just passed. Cruz and Rubio were right there in the middle of it and obviously did not filibuster.

Excellent point!

“Planned Parenthood does wonderful things”

Who said that?

“I have read that Cruz goes in for the psychological (mind control) angle in his campaign.”

I suppose lying about your opponents is part of that. You’d think he’d be smarter and more subtle about it.

He said to defund them if they keep doing abortions. Look it up.

Now freepers are defending Planned Parenthood.

I never thought I’d see that.

Thanks. I respect -- but, don't agree with -- your assessment.

Trump is simply not Presidential.

However, I would surrender my Presidential choice and "go with the final Candidate from this set" -- IF, somehow, we could put him in Scalia's vacated seat!

Sure, Trump gets an A+ . . Blames George Bush for Sept 11 and trashes everyone in sight. Anybody who would vote for this immature child is guaranteeing our next President is Hillary!

“You can think Social Security is your own money, but this is lie of Hucksters. Sure FDR sold it this way, but the law and case law state otherwise. You pay a tax! Makes it property of the government. Lies if big government and candidates who perpetuate it.”

Be that as it may; illegals, deadbeats, and welfare sows should all lose their benefits before it is even considered to take them away from people who have worked all their lives for them, paid in to them and are no longer physically able to do so.

Started out as mine and was represented that way as we also pay federal and state taxes and it is not an entitlement. Entitlement is a disgusting word because it implies that some deadbeat deserves something he hasn’t earned.
