The final Republican presidential debate before the Iowa caucuses was missing the field's loudest mouth, Donald Trump. But not to worry: Stephen Colbert on Thursday hosted an all-Trump debate — in which Trump debated himself.
What followed was a "debate" in which Colbert cut back and forth between some of Trump's many contradicting past comments.

Here are the highlights:
On Ted Cruz: In January 2016, Trump said, “I don’t think Ted Cruz has a great chance, to be honest with you. … He’s a nasty guy. Nobody likes him. Nobody in Congress likes him. Nobody likes him anywhere once they get to know him.” In December 2015, “I really do. I like Ted Cruz a lot.”
On Iowans: In January 2016, Trump said, “I love Iowa. We’ve done really well here.” In November 2015, “How stupid are the people of Iowa?”
On Hillary Clinton: In July 2015, Trump said, “Hillary Clinton was the worst secretary of state in the history of the United States.” In March 2012, “Hillary Clinton, I think, is a terrific woman. I mean, I’m a little biased, because I’ve known her for years. … I think she really works hard, and I think she does a good job. And I like her.”
On Megyn Kelly: In December 2011, asked by Fox News host Megyn Kelly if he’d be a better moderator than her, Trump responded, “No, I could never beat you. That wouldn’t even be close. There would be no contest. You have done a great job, by the way. I mean it.” In January 2016, Trump said, “I have zero respect for Megyn Kelly. I don’t think she’s really good at what she does. I think she’s highly overrated.”
DON’T EVEN CARE ANY MORE..
ALL I KNOW IS THAT ALL THE RIGHT PEOPLE ARE AGAINST HIM, SO I AM FOR HIM

Wow...going to Stephen Colbert for solace? Very telling indeed.
That doesn’t even get into his flip flops (most of them recent) on immigration, abortion, and a bevy of other issues.
As long ad they don’t mention George Soros, Trump’s people are fine with anything.
Screw Colbert! Why post this crap? Answer: You’re a “Cruzer.” GO Trump!
Don’t listen to what Trump said then, listen to what he says now and forget that it is diametrically opposed to his previous statements!
bfl
You mean George Soros who loaned Trump so much money that he owns him? That George Soros?
They know that too. You've been played.
How many times has FoxNews cut loose Jennifer Griffin or Katherine Herridge to do background investigations on Trump?
Zero.
How much air time do they give him, allowing him to control the media agenda?
Gobs.
That's all you need to know.

You mean before they tried to utterly destroy him...?
You Cruz supporters can’t keep your narrative strait.
Did Colbert invite Cruz, the Anchor Baby? :)
Oh please. Interesting that you only quote half of what I said. Do you always cherry-pick to build a straw man?
BTW, I'm not a Cruz supporter.
