I think a round of applause for Aurelius is in order for conducting a great live blog this evening. Thank you, sir. – bfh
And that’s the debate! Good night everyone!
11:06- Trump: Our country doesn’t win anymore. I will make America win again.
11:05- Carson: We need to preserve American exceptionalism.

11:03- Bush: “My proven record” shows that I deliver real results.
11:02- Fiorina: “We need to begin by defeating Hillary Clinton” to keep our country safe.
11:01- Christie: We need to focus on Islamic terrorism. I spent years of my life fighting it.
11:00- Kasich: “Our message has to be big and bold and positive.”
10:59- Paul: GOP and Democrats work together in “unholy alliance.”
10:58- Closing statements.
10:55- Carson: I may run as a third party candidate if certain things are done by the RNC.
10:54- Trump: I will not run as a third party candidate.
10:53- Cruz: Everyone on this stage is better than Barack Obama.
10:51- Cruz: Trump is great.
10:50- Trump: Cruz is great.
10:49- Rubio explains the terminology to people at home.
10:48- Trump: “We need someone that we can really trust” with nuclear weapons, and I am that person because I was against going into Iraq.
10:47- Bush: Obama Administration is not “serious.”
10:46- “I completely agree with Chris” -Bush
10:45- Christie: “China needs to be fought back on… Let the Chinese people digest how corrupt their government is.”
10:43- Carson: “North Korea is in severe financial straits… we should capitalize on this and Putin is a one-horse show.”
10:42- Fiorina: “Kim Jong-Un is a dangerous leader, without a doubt.”
10:37- Kasich: Don’t trust the Obama Administration when they say they have a good vetting process.
10:35- Christie: “The first job of the President of the United States is to protect your family.”
10:34- Rubio: even if only 1 of 10,000 people allowed in from Syria is a terrorist, “we’ve got a serious problem.”
10:33- Paul: we should have passed my “Trust but Verify,” and Rubio sided against me.
10:31- Carson: we should support the Kurds.
10:29- Bush: “The real problem is Barack Obama… he’s done nothing.”
10:28- Bush: “We need to secure the border.”
10:27- Fiorina jumping in, talking over Cruz and Rubio.
10:25- Again, Rubio countering with specifics against Cruz. Odd that Cruz hasn’t responded with specifics, again just saying that Rubio isn’t telling the truth. Cruz: “Rubio” an “arsonist.”
10:24- Cruz goes after Rubio again, saying that he’s “muddying the water” on the facts. Goes back to his theme of calling Rubio dishonest.
10:24- Rubio: you need to prove to people that the US has a handle on illegal immigration before allowing them to be citizens.
10:22- Rubio: I still support a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, but we need to secure our borders first.
10:20- Carson: the US was “designed for the citizen-statesman… I don’t do a lot of talking, I do a lot of doing.”
10:19- Kasich: the arguing between Bush and Trump isn’t getting us anywhere.
10:18- Trump to Bush: “I’m at 40 and you’re at 3.”
10:17- Trump: “It’s very sad” that CNN asks about me all the time.
10:16- Bush: “I know what I don’t know,” I won’t just watch TV shows to shape my foreign policy.
10:15- The people in the White House are the reckless ones. -Christie
10:14- Paul: “if you want World War III, you have your candidate (Christie).”
10:13- Christie: I would shoot down a Russian jet if it went over a US no-fly zone. I’m not a “feckless weakling” like Obama.
10:11- Fiorina: “Now’s not the time to talk to [Putin].” “I know him.”
10:10- Kasich: “Assad is an ally of Iran… he has to go… it’s time to punch the Russians in the nose.”
10:09- Paul: it’s a “huge mistake” to topple Assad.
10:08- Trump: “We can’t be fighting everyone at one time.”
10:07- Trump: “Assad is a bad guy. A very bad guy.”
10:07- Cruz talking over questions, moderators. Briefly booed.
10:06- Paul says that we need to examine the concept of “regime change.”
10:05- Bush: Obama destroyed Iraq because he didn’t have a plan to pull out and doesn’t believe that the United States is a force for good.
10:04- Trump: “I’ve been saying take the oil” from ISIS for three years.
10:02- Fiorina: Trump is parroting Obama. She then blames Hillary Clinton for the mess in the Middle East.
10:01- Trump interrupted briefly.
10:00- Kasich: “Assad’s got to go” because it would make a “Shi’a” crescent.
9:59- Cruz: Obama, Clinton, and “Washington Republicans” in bed together on foreign policy.
9:58- Rubio defends his support of toppling Gaddafi, saying he was going to fall one way or another.
9:57- Cruz: “The Obama Administration” has been “encouraged by Republicans” with much of his foreign policy.
9:56- Cruz: “I believe in an America-first foreign policy.”
9:52- The first break of the night. Thoughts on who’s won thus far?
9:51- Carson: we need to destroy ISIS’s ability to get oil, destroy their supply lines.
9:50- Christie: these people talk as if they’re bystanders, when they are in the Senate as we speak. “I agree with Marco, this President is not trusted.”
9:48- Fiorina says “talking tough” is not the same as leading, taking swipe at Rubio.
9:47- Rubio: we would be able to get more help to solve world crises if countries could trust the US. Obama has destroyed trust in US.
9:46- Kasich repeats himself, saying that Muslim countries need to help world crush ISIS.
9:45- Paul says that GOP hawks may have helped the rise of ISIS.
9:44- Trump: “I’m not talking about closing the internet,” I’m talking about the parts that ISIS uses.
9:43- Paul: “Is Donald trump a serious candidate?” He says no.
9:42- Carson: “It is merciful” to absolutely destroy ISIS, even if it includes the death of civilians.
9:41- “With Jeb’s attitude, we will never be great again” -Trump
9:40- Trump says Bush is “weak” on terror and that the US “needs strength.”
9:39- Bush to Trump: “getting a little of your own medicine, huh.”
9:39- Bush says Trump gets his negotiation strategies “from his shows.”
9:38- Trump calls on death of ISIS members and families.
9:36- Rubio: if you join ISIS, you will not be read your Miranda Rights.
9:35- Cruz says Rubio is a liar again, but actually admits doing what Rubio said he did, but for other reasons. Don’t know if that was a slip of the tongue.
9:34- Rubio claims Cruz voted repeatedly to cut military spending.
9:33- Rubio: “ISIS cannot be defeated by air power,” Middle Eastern nations need to go in and help destroy them. US also needs a boost in military spending and a boost in technology. Didn’t answer the question.
9:32- Cruz stumbling with that answer a bit about bombing civilians.
9:31- Cruz: Obama using “photo-op foreign policy,” then calls out Obama political correctness.
9:29- Kasich “we need to be able to penetrate these people” if they’re planning terrorist attacks.
9:28- Trump says we need to shut down parts of the internet “if our enemy is using it.”
9:27- Trump: “ISIS is recruiting through the internet,” we need to figure out a way to prevent “ISIS to do what they’re doing.” “We should be using our most brilliant people” -Trump
9:25- Fiorina: arguing about laws doesn’t solve the problem. “We were using the wrong algorithms” when we tried the Boston Bombers. Government incompetence is “dangerous.”
9:23- “If we want to destroy ISIS… we can’t disassociate with peace-loving Muslims” -Bush
9:22- “We need to get rid of this PC stuff”- Carson
9:21- Carson: “Let me just complain a little bit.”
9:20- Christie: these people have not had to make a consequential decision in their political lives.
9:19- Paul: “I want more rules, more scrutiny.”
9:18- Rubio again comes back with specifics instead of broad generalizations. He looks a bit annoyed.
9:17- Paul says that US is less safe, in part because of positions held by Marco Rubio. “He’s the weakest one on immigration.”
9:16- Cruz calls Rubio a liar. Rubio outlines specifics as to why he believes what he said was true.
9:14- Rubio: voting for the USA Freedom Act was wrong because it allowed sophisticated threats like ISIS to fly under the radar.
9:13- Cruz asked if it was a mistake to vote for USA Freedom Act. Cruz responds that the question is based on a false premise, then says the act expanded the power to find terrorists.
9:12- Kasich asked how to find potential terrorists not on watch lists. He responds by saying there need to be troops on the ground in Iraq and Syria, largely supplied by our “friends in the Middle East.”
9:10- Christie: “the new normal under Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton” is fear. “Everywhere in America is a target for terrorists.”
9:08- Fiorina: “we need solutions.”
9:07- Cruz references “horse thieves” to outline how he disagrees with Trump.
9:06- After a question about what he disagrees with Trump on, Cruz responds: “Everyone understands why Donald has said what he said.”
9:05- Rubio says that Americans are afraid because the Obama Administration has failed.
9:04- Bush: banning Muslims “not a serious proposal.”
9:03- Trump to Bush: “Nobody cares” what you have to say.
9:03- Bush: “Trump is a chaos candidate.”
9:02- Bush outlines his ideas about defeating ISIS, then says we need to use Muslims to defeat ISIS.
9:01- Trump: it’s not about isolation, it’s about keeping America safe.
9:00- First question to Trump: “Is the best way to make America great again to isolate it from the rest of the world?”
8:58- Trump outlines his past proposals, then said things have “changed” since the terrorist attacks.
8:57- Ben Carson calls for a moment of silent. “Right now, the United States of America is the patient,” Carson says.
8:56- Ted Cruz: “Radical Islamic terrorism” is what we’re at war with. Barack Obama can’t even say those words.
8:55- Rubio calls Obama election a “disaster,” referencing decline of American influence.
8:54- Bush sounding inelegant from the start, stumbling over his prepared lines.
8:53- Fiorina: “I’m angry,” like you. “It’s time to take our country back.”
8:52- Christie says that the United States has been “betrayed” by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. “What have Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama done to this country?”
8:51- Kasich calls for unity between Democrats and Republicans.
8:50- Kasich looks like he needs to pee. MJA called it.
8:49- Rand Paul attacks Trump from the start, then attacks Rubio. The first punch is throw 4 seconds into the debate.
8:48- The debate is finally, finally starting. Way to milk it CNN.
8:47- Voice crack from Blitzer.
8:44- The streak of Trump being the only one to leave his suit jacket unbuttoned continues. A small nod to him not following the crowd.
8:43- The debate is finally about to start after over a dozen minutes of extra filler.
8:41- A profile of each candidate with kind of weird analysis.
8:39- Hey CNN, you said 8:30. Nobody wants to hear your analysts any more than they need to.
8:37- Candidates now awkwardly standing near each other back stage.
8:35- Unfortunately, we have to listen to more blathering from CNN analysts.
8:34pm- Reince Priebus working the crowd.
Welcome to the IOTW live blog of the Republican debate! I’ll be updating this post as the night goes on. Things I’m watching for:
-The overall tone of what to do about terrorism and specific ideas.
-Will Trump and Cruz trade blows? If so, will Cruz continue to smother Trump with kindness (at least out in the open)?
-Who’s going to pick a fight tonight? It doesn’t need to be Trump and someone else; one of the most interesting moments from previous debates was Christie vs Paul on national security and Bush attacking Rubio.
Will Kasich be moving around nervously like he has to pee? Again.
The debate hasn’t started and the answer is already “yes”
I’m already bored. Someone punch JEB.
CNN trying to win the debate for Rubio before it even starts
…but first, a message from our sponsor…..
Can you believe this intro! Sounds like it’s the season finale of American Gladiator.
The venue is nice though.
Thank you for this service.
I am watching Shrek The Halls and would rather laugh than get pissed off.
Who bussed in the Jeb Bush supporters?
The rumbling music behind the candidate intro’s….so weird.
So Papa Smurf is the moderator?
Viva Las Vegas!
Roofio gets the biggest applause …. go figure
Carly kinda snubbed Marco with no hand shake
was that Wayne Newton?
His mama
I’m going to keep track of how many times Trump’s name is mentioned.
Just his corpse
Gad….Paul nails it
Of all the people that make up the RNC that have to go Rinse is first, turned into soap scum, Rove has to be melted into a grease spot on a garage floor. And the rest swept out the door.
what? …… no ‘ding’ for Kasich?
Kasich’s retarded daughter-
“Loud Scary Noises!”
I am guessing a ‘Star Wars’ reference before the night is over…
Kasich consults his daughter/ memories of Jimmy Carter.
So, all my problems can be solved by electing Carly Fiorino……I’m in
Fiorina- Elect me, breast cancer survival will defeat ISIS. Having a dead kid makes me uniquely qualified.
Why must Carly bring up her dead child at every debate?
Carly channeling Fr. Damien there with that Goth cross the size of, well BIG! Pandering much?
Is that JEB or Young Frankenstein?
rubio — he needs to change up his granddad’s porch stories. Every time he does that I think of antebellum days down on the bayou, with Rubio in a straw hat and barefoot. There’s always a dirt yard, of course.
Awkward?
Dr. Carson…..there is a place and a time. This was not it.
Silence
Hello, I’m Chris Christie. I will eat islamic terrorists.
Oops. I meant to say “beat”.
Okay no I didn’t.
Here we go with the Trump knee capping.
Blitzer just made Trump the standard by asking Yeb! what he thinks of Trump’s plan.
Bush just promoted isis to a caliphate?
Sure, just build you mosque next to the smouldering Twin Towers…
so…according to Bush we shouldn’t ban Muzzies from coming here so they can fight over there……..wtf?????
Bush: Idiotic assertion that Trump wants to ban Arab diplomats.
Cruz doesn’t rise to the bait
love the bullet point summaries mr. a!
And so Cruz sets the stage…..F You CNN!!!
http://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2015/12/15/ufo-hunters-las-vegas-area-51-origwx-jm-gr.cnn
Thank you, thank you
NO!! You cannot figure out who is radical and who isn’t until we stop ALL muslim immigration and visas until there is a litmus test. Too bad, but that’s the way it goes. I’m hearing a lot of parsing on this as though those candidates have the inside track on how to know who is radical and who isn’t.
If Fiorino was in charge of Apple, ala HP, the Iphone or Ipad wouldn’t have been invented
Krispy Kreme…..make NSA more powerful
Why are all these losers on the stage? This should be a 2 person debate: Cruz and Trump. No one else matters. No one else is relevant.
I really, really, really want to know why Kasich, Christie, Fiorina are on the stage. Come on!! Does anyone beside s.e. cupp think fiorina is going to parlay this debate into numbers???!!
Kasich ….. I used to be relevant, once upon a time
….now, I’m just a primary vote-getter for Bush
“9:08- Fiorina: “we need solutions.”
So, I guess this makes her a Trump supporter.
Rubio is coming off as a schmarmy student-council dick
Excuse me, marco, but the woman was NOT born and raised in this country.
Rubio is good, but he’s definitely spouting the Repugnicate Establishment meme
Ben, don’t whine.
And Carson just fell on his face.
Bush is more boring than his dad…………toast
ISIS/ISIL are getting a lot of information here.
Reince Priebus and the RNC obviously stacked this venue with Rubio supporters.
“I am your father, Jeb”…….”Noooooooooooooooo”
Has Trump mentioned he owns a yuge casino hotel just a mile away?
Its time for the field to be cut.
I’m still bored. Someone please punch JEB and then give Kasich a purple nurple!
Trump has had 2 questions…..they’re attacking Cruz to the max
I’m getting a chubby for a Trump/Cruz ticket
Kasich is air-chopping like he’s at a Braves game
uh oh…..Rubio got no applause on attacking Cruz’s record
lmao….Cruz sez “Marco’s Popcorn Policy”
You know his dad was a mailman.
/s
Trump is absolutely correct……. go after their families
Jeb is acting like a dick
Rancid Pubis is in charge of the tickets. No lie.
bush is on the ropes…he just gave the nixon jowl shake.
JEB JAB!
Jeb trying to interrupt Trump.
Jeb….buh bye……go back home to daddy
bush on Trump “You can’t insult your way to presidency!”
Trump: “Oh, yeah? Just watch and learn.”
bush is winning the PC VIP award tonight.
I have the strength and 3% support. Vote for me I’m really really SERIOUS!
exactly like that guy on the Burger King debate commercial…….lmaa
sad…..Rand Paul demagoguery
They are in Vegas.
When are they going to mention:
#BlackJackMatters
#BlackChipsMatter
#$500BetOnBlack
very sad that no one mentions that we actually created a stability in Iraq until Obama destabilized the region when he pulled the US military out
Trump was just booed . I feel that it is a set-up. What he said was not boo stuff?
“Cocaine’s a hell of a drug”
-John Kasich
Carly channels her inner Hillary
he can’t help it …..he IS one!
Moetom — Yeah, but he challenged the audience that booed about monitoring and infiltrating ISIS on the internet and got a big cheer next. So funny!
If only someone would trip the twit on the way out.
Carly’s idiotic quote of Thatcher on women. Doesn’t she know that the war on women is a total myth?
Winners, so far: Cruz
next: Trump, because they didn’t take him down
…although the ‘pundents’ will declare Rubio the winner
Did anyone else notice Wayne Newton in the audience? Plastic surgery gone really bad!
The thing to keep in mind here is that at least 8 of these people need to be voted off the goddam island at the conclusion of tonite’s festivities. Rand Paul needs to lead the way out the door.
And someone needs to tell that liberal douche-nozzle moderator that there are not “thousands” of innocent cheeldren left in the Middle East because terrorists have used them as cover to invade fucking Europe.
Trump and Cruz just shook hands before the break, all is well.
These two are the best of the best. Only one of them will be the last one standing. The rest of the field will be sucking hind tit.
One might take a VP slot.
That’s a democrat ploy. She didn’t need to go there.
Rubio states the Establishment meme on Libya……he’s no better than Shrillary
The temp must be set at 50 Rubio is not sweating.
Kasich – “EVERYBODY KUNG FU FIGHTING!”
I just want to punch Wolf Blizter in the mouth. Bubbling volcano for the other two.
Someone needs to frickin’ handcuff John Kasich so he stops with the Karate chops while he’s talking….
FSU Seminoles started the tomahawk chop.
“You cannot out-asshole Donald Trump.” — Mark Steyn
Carson makes a good analogy w/ the ‘oxygen mask’
Reince Priebus hand-picked the audience.
Two hand chops.
Not Donald. Ted as VP and then 8 of his own. A good run potentially.
rubio is a lying, treasonous putz.
Is that slobber on Hewett’s lapel?
Carly trying to equate Trump statement to Obama.

Big groan.
http://www.timesofisrael.com/assad-can-stay-for-now-kerry-says-accepting-russian-stance/
Do these folks know what Lurch adhered to today? He’s not going anywhere.
Carly makes her best point of the night, blaming Shrillary for the mess we’re in at the Middle East
oooooooooooooh…. low blow Paul
Jeb…..circling the bowl……
Like Carly like i am 19 and like can i ask you a question. CNN is like in the tank for the Rinos full bore. Hewitt is from Ohio he loves Kasic Bush and Rubio.
best line Jeb ever said – “I don’t know if it’s Saturday morning or Sunday morning” (talking about the shows Trump gets info from)
actually very funny
SHADDUP KASICH!
‘Rump and Jeb! in a cage match!
Dear John Kasich: You’ve been on the end of the row ….FOREVER…..get lost
Drudge has his poll up. The RNC Straw Poll pops up on his page. The scumbags have Tromp as the very last option on the bottom.of the list. Yeb of course is the first. What fucking scumbag dicks. I am so fucking jappy these children are this petty and desperate. They are FUCKED !!!
When you can’t sleep – take two Ben Carsons.
Ugh. Hugh Hewitt.
Why in the hell does kasich have the prime time coming from a -1% position. whyyyy!!!????
CNN: “Marco Rubio, you are so ‘in’ for ‘immigrants’, can you be the best candidate for the Repugnicans?……Please?”
Yaaa, yuck, yuck, yuck…
bush is one of those cardboard people who wears a red tie and thinks he plays a president on the tee vee.
Cruz comes up w/ the greatest line of the night!
What’s the big deal we are all going to live on Mars anyway thanks to the beneficent billionaires and Obama’s abject failure to stop the seas from rising!
Rick Perry is still polling higher than Karate Chop Kasich and Yeb…
SHADDUP FIORINA!
Have a laugh!
https://twitter.com/mateagold/status/676946951854825472?ref_src=twsrc^tfw
Rubio talks too much. Whoever said he sounds like a smarmy student council president was right. I’m not watching it but I’m listening…spot on.
Is there a difference?
Bush speaking in Spanish in 3, 2, 1….
Let me throw an analogy:
Ted Cruz is to Republicanism as Paul was to Christianity.
Wow ….Jeb is really……..BAAAAAAAAAD
I didn’t know Kasich knew that much karate…
Touche Cruz. Best line of the night Cruz “I will get Trump to pay for the wall” Said in jest.
Dude, it’s in alphabetical order. Trumps at over 50% on that poll. My observation is they are clearly teeing up shit for Yeb.
….yer welcome….(what can I say; I’m a credit whore)
No, not Rand Paul you dumbasses! The Paul of the Bible.
Hahahahahaha!
There is definitely a correlation. I had breast cancer THREE times, and I swear ISIS wouldn’t exist if I were the decision-maker.
Using the Bible to justify federal action on Obama refugees? Good grief. What happened to individualism, which came from the Bible. Self-responsibility and choice, not coercion.
…& Shrillary Clinton is to democratism (?) as Saul of Tarsus was to Christianity……….dumbass
Well, at least he’s not a pretentious phony.
UT chick is probably a fine arts major, leave her alone.
Ok…..watch capitalist commercials of American Individualism while wishing & hoping for communism…….
Ya know, I think that ass hole is trying to cash in on the Mad Dog Mattis knife hands thing. There’s not a Marine that wouldn’t die for that guy.
“I’m at 40 and you’re at 3….”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
You know, despite all the numb nuts on this stage, I can only imagine what a nat’l security and foreign policy debate would sound like on the ‘Rat side. I don’t think they could have a serious discussion or Q&A for more than 20 mins., let along two hours. So, my hat’s off to the serious contenders in the GOP.
(except bush. I hope you all know I always mean except bush.)
It looks like he’s trying to taxi a plane
Eh. That was a great picture and question. Just needed a cleaner delivery. Doesn’t Yeb! have a son who could have delivered?
KJU? How did he fit himself in this?
am I the only one here who will not vote for Rubio? After the gang of 8 I just don’t trust him.
the Chinese are, at least, a 5,000 old institution….they have infinite patience…..platitudes of blathering peacocks are not going to solve this…..
Rubio bring up the triad of nuclear defense, & says that most of us don’t understand it????……we knew this 40 years ago…….welcome to the 80’s Marco
i just saw the next President and Vice President standing side by side, and looking that they know it.
Rance Pubis?
Rank Pubic
Prance Pubic
Trump just committed to stay in the field as a republican an support who ever is the winner of the primary. He shut Hewitt up. And I bet he goes up 3 or 4 points.
Anyone of them will do better than Obama, Clinton, Sanders. I like Trump and Cruz..
John K wants to be Presidnt of Ohio. Doubt he could even carry Ohio in a presidential race.
Christie was an attorney fighting in NY after 9/11.
Carly unify party.
Jeb my turn – daddy and brother were president.
Marco people left behind …
Cruz judgment, strength … Reagan reference.
Carson zzzz
Trump change everything not working and we will win again.
WHO WON? Take the POLL here
http://politopinion.com/2015/12/who-won-the-cnn-republican-debate/
Closing statements
Paul did well, Kasich …boring, Carly …she talks a good game…but… . Bush….sux. Rubio….missed (great cheer)….Cruz…..good. Carson…will make a great Sec of State. Trump…..president
Carly said, “Take our country back” too many times. It’s on my list of annoying things politicians say.
i think T R U M P won this one. Seemed Presidential, the rest looked like contenders, except Cruz. He looked Vice Presidential
Cruz won the debate……Everyone attacked him & he held his own & dealt back…..Trump was dumped on also & he did well
Trump/Cruz 2016………Cruz ’20!!!!
More people watched CNN tonight than ever before. Even I watched.
Carly makes me nauseous. She’s cultivated that annoying grr sound in her voice.
sorry, that wasn’t anonymous, that was me
O’Reilly & Krautslammer declaring, since Cruz & Trump won, that no one won the debate…..actually helping Trump, since he’s the front-runner…..lmao
Trump or Cruz take your pick. They make the rest of the field look weak. Paul had some good points, Rubio tries to be to slick, Christie relies on others to prop himself up, Carson just is not ready if ever, Bush is just flat out dumb on stage, the rest need to leave and that includes Bush and Christie.
I liked when Trump & Cruz basically high-fived each other near the end of the debate.
Right now 174 votes, 107 Trump, 49 Cruz, 7 each for rubio and paul
Sure a lot of consistency.
it’s called croaky voice. It’s annoying like b*tchy resting face — which she also has.
What I can’t stand about her (besides that she believes islam is the same as any other religion) is her verbal prissiness. She tries to upstage those silly boys by using every middle eastern despot’s full name. I’m very surprised she didn’t come up with a reason to say “Bibi” and I are best friends.
I thought she shot herself in the foot with the Thatcher comment. She’s still prosecuting the war on women. That’s not a conservative plank.
BRAVO Aurelius – AWESOME JOB!
P.S. CNN Dana Bash exposed Ben Carson as “the cougher”.
When Trump patted Cruz on the back after Trump said he was not a maniic, at that moment I saw the next President. And Cruz looked Vice Presidential. They looked like a team.
I`m on another continent, so I just woke up. Did Trump really say to Yeb! “nobody cares what you say”? LOL!
Ihope they have the whole show recorded so I can speed watch.
Everytime I see the Rube, I think of Jethro Bodine (Beverly Hillbillies).
He’s so willing to please, but seems so dumb although I’m sure he’s not dumb. Maybe it’s that he changed his tune so many times on illegals.
Yup, he said it alright, alright. It got a few involuntary guffaws from the audience, too. Priceless.
I liked his “And that’ll shut you up” grin he directed at Hewitt, afterwards. Moving on….
(Lol)
I’m not dumb! I graduated fifth grade!
