[nolabear]

1. Thanks for doing this. I haven't had this much fun in ages.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

2. What does Kasich's father being a mailman have to do with anything?

Bizarre how he just threw that out.

[djean111]

5. And I think he gets a dollar every time he says "budget". n/t

[TheCowsCameHome]

10. He delivered a defective package.

[nolabear]

3. Kasich is my favorite, in tone at least.

[immoderate]

14. Yeah, but how will he induce growth.

Lower taxes on the rich, natch.

--imm

[AlinPA]

74. He goes to zero in the GOP polls after tonight's statements about helping the disadvantaged.

That is not GOP talk.

[bagimin]

121. Me too

too sincere....he's doooomed.

[AngryOldDem]

4. Trying to hang in, but I've got work in the morning.

Still, I'm afraid I'm going to miss something.

[djean111]

7. I am sleepy, but this is keeping me awake until Jon Stewart. nt

[AngryOldDem]

15. Hey, Jeb, how about just raising the minimum wage to a living wage?

That would be mere pocket change to your billionaire friends.

[nolabear]

6. Alinsky! Wooooooooo!!

[Gidney N Cloyd]

31. What percent of fox viewers even know who that is?

[LiberalElite]

44. oh, probably -0.0000000010%

[onehandle]

8. Hillary Hillary Hillary

Gosh. Why so much Hillary?

[Agschmid]

9. She is apparently the "epitome of the progressive movement"

- Ben Carson

[LiberalElite]

61. .

[Feeling the Bern]

10. The Left. . .the Left. I love red herrings and strawmen.

Wow, what a fucking wind tunnel.

[footinmouth]

12. Best TV ever

i am loving this

[nolabear]

13. So who's being ignored? Christie, Paul...

[AngryOldDem]

18. Carson?

But right now they're only talking to a few at a time.

[Agschmid]

20. Seems like Paul.

[jberryhill]

24. He jumps in whenever

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

16. Walker is so mechanical and boring

He's not angry enough and pissed for this crowd, measuring by the weak applause he's getting.

[bklyncowgirl]

17. Does Scott Walker remind anyone else of Nixon?

[ericson00]

70. if you mean in affect, definitely

he's very stone, but calm and collected. Everyone else seems to be shouting, especially Trump.

[TheCowsCameHome]

19. Christie's 'do is cracking me up.

It looks like Brillo pad.

[calimary]

134. We were wondering if it's some sort of licorice pancake on his head?

A Licorice Mini-Pizza? Or a yarmulke that he put on in front rather than on the back of his head? Or is his hairline starting to go the way David Letterman's hairline has?

It's rand paul whose hair looks like a Brillo pad.

jeb bush, on the other hand, looks like his mommy took him to the "Look! I'm in FIRST GRADE now!" barber shop. That haircut makes him look like he's six or seven years old.

ted cruz remembered to wear his internal nose plugs, I see.

[TheCowsCameHome]

142. Bwahahahaha.

[calimary]

164. Whenever I see chris christie in this, I find myself singing "BerMUUUUdaaaaah!"

For the little "Bermuda Triangle" thing happening with his hair in front...

[RoccoR5955]

21. Wtf is all this bs about growing economy by growing Washington?

Are these bastards insane?

[jberryhill]

22. They all just asked Trump for money

That was inadvertently funny.

[Feeling the Bern]

23. Sound byte debate. . .this is now getting boring.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

25. Another real softball question for the psychopath Gomer Pyle alter ego

[nolabear]

26. Huckabee goes for cheap shot at government and fails.

Ending Congress' retirement program will do nothing. He's making Christie look good.

[AngryOldDem]

34. And comparing those receiving aid to pimps, prostitutes, and illegals?

I had to replay that just now to make sure I heard correctly.

Jesus.

[RoccoR5955]

27. Huckleberry lies, as do the rest of them

Social Security is not broke. Simply raise the cap.

[rocktivity]

32. Get rid of the the cap altogether

and everyone can pay a lower rate.


rocktivity

[Gidney N Cloyd]

39. But what about all those "IOU"s?

[RoccoR5955]

28. WTF does huckleberry want, a sales tax on everything? n/t

[bklyncowgirl]

29. Huckleberry almost making sense--oh fair tax forget about it.

[ballabosh]

30. I don't have pimps and prostitutes on my bingo card

Dammit!

[TheCowsCameHome]

33. Uh-oh. Bankruptcy question for The Donald.

Awkward moment.

[AngryOldDem]

38. As usual, he deflects.

Pretty common knowledge that he's not quite the business mogul that he thinks he is.

[BlueStater]

35. Trump is lying his ass off and Chris called him on it.

Hell just froze over.

[monmouth4]

41. Jersey just dissed New York with a pfft...Hahaha, I love it..n/t

[LiberalElite]

69. He got out of AC "before it cratered"

I remember when they said gambling was supposed to be the big savior of Atlantic City. They just sucked off it and left.

[nolabear]

36. Oh Donald. I love you. You're an equal opportunity asshole.

[RoccoR5955]

37. How the hell does someone lose money running a casino?

You have to be an awful business person to do.

[AngryOldDem]

50. People have less money to spend, and there's a glut of casinos.

I live in a state (Indiana) that's put a lot of faith in casinos for revenue, and most aren't doing well because of less disposable income and competition from other states. New Jersey, etc., most likely is no different.

[WinkyDink]

52. Competition. Simple as that. Oh, and a massive hurricane.

[ericson00]

40. saying "Trump Trump Trump" was Donald's favorite moment

[rocktivity]

42. Trump filed for bankrucptcy and didn't really need to?

He just took advantage of the laws? Proceed...


rocktivity

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

43. Wow, Faux's marching orders are to get Trump

not that I feel sympathy for him. But every question is designed to put him on the defensive. He's getting an altogether different type of question than the others, not one to solicit his policy positions. Murdoch must want to kill his candidacy.

[txdemsftw]

55. Agreed.

[Awknid]

57. I noticed that too -from the start

[GitRDun]

77. I think he's doing a good job deflecting so far

[RoccoR5955]

45. Small businesses already pay lower taxes! n/t

[Lint Head]

46. 10 BILLION DOLLARS!!!!!!!

[Motown_Johnny]

47. Rubio is boring,

he seems flat and uninteresting.

I don't know if he is making sense or not because of how monotone he is.

[livetohike]

56. Look at his eyes. He's scared to death. N/t

[Motown_Johnny]

64. Somebody needs to get him a tiny bottle of water

[underpants]

48. Legs and heels (sex sells) over Brett Baired's shoulder

[johnnyrocket]

49. This isn't a political debate, it's a cautionary tale on the downsides of becoming a dipship.

[nolabear]

51. Carly kissup! OOOOoooohhhhhh!!

[Motown_Johnny]

62. They really want a woman on the main stage

just so it isn't all men

[chelsea0011]

63. Looks like Faux has found their "IT" candidate

[NYCButterfinger]

53. The GOP doesn't have a plan for small businesses

[K lib]

54. Cut taxes and have less regulations

While no one buys your product because they are too poor because of Republican policies.

[txdemsftw]

58. God I hate you Huckabee

You bible-thumping bastard.

[calimary]

155. Take a number.

Wonder if he plans to station the Army in every gynecologist's examining room in America?

[BlueStater]

59. Now they're jerking off Reagan's corpse.

Ew.

[rocktivity]

60. Obamacare...wasn't that supposed to be a four-letter word?

rocktivity

[Fawke Em]

65. Did Reagan trust the guns he sold to Iran before he verified them? eom

[RoccoR5955]

72. That was different. Don't you know IOKIYAR? n/t

[Fawke Em]

78. In this case:

It's OK If You Are A Reagan... right?

[ericson00]

66. Huckabee and Walker are rising, Trump has risen, Christie got owned by the Donald,

and Bush is a non-factor. He can't even remember his lines. Trump either is really good off the cuff in this situation, or prepped very well. Gotta hand it to Trump in how he's trolling a major party so bad.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

67. The Fuckster is getting every softball question on a silver platter

It's apparent to me that this is not intended to be a debate but a political advertisement for who Rupert Murdoch likes.

[Whiskeytide]

79. Wait... Which one is ...

... The Fuckster???

[virtualobserver]

126. here

[calimary]

160. SHEESH she looks like richard nixon! They contour her cheeks with so much dark makeup

that it makes her look like she has a 5 o'clock shadow!

[RoccoR5955]

68. How come nobody talks about the nuclear powers of Pakistan and India?

If they are so bent on not letting others get nukes, how about disarming those with them closer to Iran instead of saying, "OOH SCAREY, Iran is getting nukes that they build themselves."

[Motown_Johnny]

75. no oil

[WinkyDink]

76. They're called "allies," is why.

[rocktivity]

71. Obama vilifies everyone who disagrees with him?

Wonder who he learned that from...

Now it moves on to social issues -- time for break out the magnum and the shot glasses!


rocktivity

[Fawke Em]

73. If it's a "can't miss Hannity," why do I plan on missing it?

[chelsea0011]

80. Now on to crushing Planned Parenthood.....

[nolabear]

81. Oh Lord...Planned Parenthood. I hate this shit.

[Feeling the Bern]

82. 93 minutes. That's it. I'll watch Daily Show reruns, and it's a discussion with the POTUS

[ericson00]

83. "culture of life," just like Dubya used to say

[bklyncowgirl]

84. Bloomberg oooooh the double demon foundation--sorry Jeb you're toast.

[txdemsftw]

85. Choose Life License Plates????

Oh boy!

Oh Bushy..

[BlueStater]

86. Marco is trying too hard.

He's sounds so unbelievably fake.

[RoccoR5955]

87. And human life after birth is sot so sacred any more.

Let them starve!

[K lib]

88. "Pro-Life" Conservatives

If you are pre-birth your okay if you are pre-school you are Fked - George Carlin

[Fawke Em]

89. Mother fucking Bush. Pro life?

This is Terri Schiavo's brain. Does this look like she's "living?"

[ThoughtCriminal]

163. I think the Shiavo fiasco was a major turning point against the GOP

But Bush has to drag it out to appease the GOP Fundy base that he needs to get through the primaries.

[Fawke Em]

176. Dragging her poor husband through all that shit

after all he'd already been through.

SMH

[bklyncowgirl]

90. Rubio deer in the headlight stare.

[calimary]

175. marco rubio doesn't look or sound like he belongs in the "Not Ready for the 'Not Ready for Prime

Time Players'". Has he graduated high school yet? Has he started shaving by now?

[TheCowsCameHome]

91. Trump looks like he's trying to cut one.

Man, what a scowl.

[nolabear]

92. Boy they are going after Trump. You can see the blood in Megan's eye.

[AlinPA]

98. She was vicious on that "when did you become a republican?" question.

[ericson00]

112. I bet a friend 100 bucks on a Trump-Reagan comparison. I shoulda bet my bank account

[WinkyDink]

114. And Donald Trumped her by mentioning former Democrat Ronald Reagan. Heh.

[rocktivity]

93. Trump's quoting the gospel according to St. Ronnie

He knows he's in trouble!


rocktivity

[LibAsHell]

94. Really, nothing new here

We all knew these clowns hate abortions and spent their political careers slashing taxes and vetoing bills.

[rocktivity]

96. Obama and Hillary are in the business of dividing the country?

rocktivity

[nolabear]

95. How can Jeb! possibly define the GOP message as hopeful and optimistic?

JESUS.

[BlueStater]

97. Trump and Bush seem to be talking the most.

Walker and Rubio, surprisingly, haven't gotten much speaking time.

[rocktivity]

102. I think that's the general idea

Diminish trump and exalt Jeb.

[AngryOldDem]

99. The GOP --- the party of hope.

[nolabear]

100. Gay marriage. Kasich once again almost sounds adult. He's screwed.

[Motown_Johnny]

104. Yep. Primary voters won't go for that

[PCIntern]

106. Way too reasonable...

He's fired!

[TheCowsCameHome]

101. Kasich just rocked the conservative boat!!!!!!!!

He's toast.

[Agschmid]

103. Yup!

Yikes.

[AngryOldDem]

105. Good answer, though.

[rocktivity]

109. Yeah, he's way too sane-sounding.

rocktivity

[AlinPA]

119. He will be -10 in GOP polls after that statement on accepting gays. He is done.

[Egnever]

129. Thank god for the tea party

If he somehow got through the primaries he would be a real threat.

[calimary]

178. He's the only one I'm really worried about from that side.

And why does ben carson sound like such a freakin' dim bulb???

[Egnever]

186. I missed the earlier debate

but in this round he was the only one that worried me as well.

[a kennedy]

107. ha ha, I wonder if the hair uses the same tanning bed as the boner......

[AlinPA]

108. Kasich just went to -10 in GOP polls with his answer on accepting gay people. Sounded like a

Democrat.

[Agschmid]

113. Quite a big cheer after his answer...

[BlueStater]

122. Most conservatives under 30 support gay marriage.

Of course, they don't compose the majority of Republican voters.

[TheCowsCameHome]

120. Wow. That was a great answer.

Coming from a repub, it shocked me.

[kelliekat44]

123. Don't write that answer off. It was a good response. It will go over well with the GOP who really

have gays in their families. I warned you about this guy. He is a sleeper. HRC and Sanders had better be prepping to run against this guy. I believe he will win the GOP nomination. He really scares me.

[djean111]

127. Here's what I got out of that - he would love his daughter ANYWAY, because love is

unconditional. That is not acceptance, really.

[ballabosh]

139. And the fact that he kept saying

"if she was like 'that'" just sounded so cold.

[SummerSnow]

110. They don't give a hoot about how cops treat black people or anyone

[nolabear]

111. I swear nobody gets that Houston case right. The ministers were prosecuting that case!

[WinkyDink]

125. It's Rand's "Welfare Queen with vodka" story.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

115. Walker = robotic

[Egnever]

116. Kasich is dangerous.

Thankfully he likely doesn't stand a chance in hell of getting through the republican primaries

[bklyncowgirl]

133. Kashich sounds sane. Hopefully that means he can't win the primaries.

On the other hand if the Democratic candidate fails he'd probably do the least damage.

[K lib]

117. The crowd is a bunch of mindless idiots

They applaud every time someone makes a noise

[RoccoR5955]

124. They have an applause light, and a shill on stage to tell them when to applaud and make noise! n/t

[rocktivity]

118. COMMERICAL BREAK -- NEW THREAD!!!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251498409

[Agschmid]

141. Thread #3 fail, you tricked me!

[rocktivity]

167. Haste makes waste

My bad.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027051085

[nolabear]

128. I'm right behind you.

[Feeling the Bern]

130. Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran. War! War! Fear! Fear! War! War! Fear!

[onecaliberal]

131. Trump can't answer what he would do.

He doesn't actually say one thing about what he would do. Brett let's him get away with not answering what a shock.

[TheCowsCameHome]

132. Trumps number are rising tonight.

He's feeding the RW just what they want to hear.

[nolabear]

136. I don't know. He's going to be taken down in the analyses.

Even Fox is rolling its eyes.

[TheCowsCameHome]

135. Mr. Potato Head is a cyber expert?

[IcyPeas]

137. cyber attack question to cruz

shouldn't the answer begin with "well Brett, I'm not a computer scientiest..... but........

[Fawke Em]

138. Cruz didn't answer the cyber security question.

AT ALL.

[RoccoR5955]

148. It's like a foreign language to him

His idea of a computer is an abacus.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

140. Grandpa Munster is in the debate?

[bklyncowgirl]

145. Hey comeon Al Lewis was a great progressive and a hell of a good guy!

[Feeling the Bern]

143. Lots of words, but saying nothing. Typical Republican bullshit.

[RoccoR5955]

144. These bastards can't spell cyber-security

How the hell are they supposed to defend against it?

[BlueStater]

146. It really doesn't sound like the crowd is that excited about any of these clowns.

The applause have been rather mild.

[Feeling the Bern]

147. Walker is advocating starting World War 3.

[Motown_Johnny]

154. don't they all?

[spooky3]

162. Is Krispy going for a Superman forehead hair curl?

What's with the 'do?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

177. Looks like he has a platypus on his head

with the tail drooping over his crown.

[calimary]

182. Post 134. Our speculation anyway.

[txdemsftw]

149. Kill people and break things?

Wow Huckabee...so "God" like....you asshat.

[herding cats]

159. I know, right?

How very Christian of him.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

150. Yet another super softball to Fuckabee

It's really getting overwhelmingly obvious.

[TheCowsCameHome]

151. Huckabee: Benghazeeeeeeeeeee!

First time tonight.

[rocktivity]

152. COMMERICAL BREAK -- NEW THREAD!!!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027051085

[RoccoR5955]

153. I just heard Benghazi...

Was that Huckleberry?

[chelsea0011]

161. I think it was Graham screaming from backstage

[TheCowsCameHome]

165. ....or from the closet

+1

[Whiskeytide]

166. That's the best joke in this thread. n/t

[chelsea0011]

156. All from the Happy Hour debate to this f&&kfest it has been troops in Syria, troops, back in Iraq,

troops in the Ukraine, troops on the ground everywhere. These people are all nuts.

[BlueStater]

157. Benghazi!

112 minutes in and first mention? Color me shocked.

[LittleBlue]

158. Huckleberry is a loon

The purpose of the military is not to "kill people and break things " you utter lunatic.

[calimary]

168. BEST moment so far? megyn kelly: "In our final moments..."

[TheCowsCameHome]

169. Oh, God. It's God calling in.

Here we go...............

[lpbk2713]

173. Which is to say ...

Have they heard from Pat Robertson?

And of course, everyone knows Ol' Pat is God's right hand.

[K lib]

171. Have to mention how their imaginary friend is guiding them

[TheCowsCameHome]

172. Kasich's father still was a mailman.

Got it.

[still_one]

179. does he want to put the post office out of business like his fellow republicans?

[TheCowsCameHome]

174. I need a barf bag.

This last 10 minutes in painful.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

180. Christie's dad worked for a Breyer's ice cream?

Hmmmm, that must have been deadly temptation.

[MissDeeds]

181. My husband is actually listening to this crap

He's a Democrat, but wants to listen to what they have to say. After twenty-five years of marriage, I might have to divorce his ass.

[TheCowsCameHome]

183. Rubio looks like he left his cars doors open

Just noticed that

[TheCowsCameHome]

184. Cruz is totally unhinged.

[herding cats]

185. Cruz. OMG

He's fucking bat guano insane!
