Welcome to the IOTW GOP debate liveblog. Donald Trump is ahead of the pack with mounting momentum. Tonight could very well be the last shot for rivals Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio to stop him from becoming the inevitable nominee. John Kasich will also be there for some reason.
Expect fireworks.
Kasich is there to keep Ohio delegates away from whomever the repugnican fat cats deem ‘undesirable’
…wonder who that could be?
Don’t be fooled into following Donald Trump said a guy that follows Joseph Smith.
What is this the Oscars?
This racist country won’t let the brother debate?
#BlackSurgeonsMatter
What’s that?…oh, uh, nevermind
Romneo doing the Cruz finger-bump on the podium thing
Snarko Rubio
“2/3 of votes are against you!”
…& 70% of the votes are against Romneo
9:08 update, that’s funny!
9:12 is funny but in a different way.
Little Ricky Romneo is stomping his foot …. must be cramping up from the sweat loss
My gosh. This again? Okay, you guys…
FNC knife to rubobot…how many jobs have you created
Chris Wallace is just lighting fires and then playing fireman
Someone needs to slip Trump a pic of Marco in his high heeled boots…
Bernie Sanders’ tax form will fit on a post card too…..
1. How much did you make last year?
2. Send it in
What was that on Ted’s lip?
Cruz blames Trump for Government allowing Trump to do business? Wouldn’t that be Cruz, Romnio & Kasich’s (gubmit’s) fault?
who’s in the audience? …..Circus Clown Audition Night?
post card? Didnt we hear that from Rick Perry in 2012?
It’s the take down Trump debate. Wallace is the lead attack dog and Kelly will be nipping at Trump’s heels.
Chris Wallace dont know shit about economics.
…end of first quarter … time to recharge your glasses
Who let the doped up, Sanders trolls and buffoons in, to be part of the audience?
“Playing to fantasties.” Oh, she’s such a sweetheart.
Petrus…
“What was that on Ted’s lip?”
Ewww, right. I dont know but he will have to live it down, poor guy
Trump’s dead to me based on his NEW Work VISA position. Silicon Valley and keeping the “highly skilled”.
Yeah like we haven’t been hearing the same crap from the titans of silicon valley. It’s less about “highly skilled” and far more about “cheap”. Cruz should have brought up his wage requirement for VISAs as that coupled with his moratorium and investigation would nip it in the bud.
Kasich fixed his cowlick problem.
@woody ~ Cruz promotes H1B too
Romnio’s mouth is getting dry again ….. don’t anti-depressants do that?
Drudge Report already has the “Who Won” poll up. 18,000 votes, Trump – 72%, Cruz – 18%, Kasich & Rubio – 5% each
Thenck you, and thenck you ladies and gentelmens, but first a word from our sponser…Uniroyal, we used to make tires here, but now we don’t and it doesn’t really matter….
Woody, lmbo Now Trump is dead to you – uh huh 😉
Waterboarding and worse, absolutely! Good answer, Trump.
Will this be the last debate before the convention? They give me indigestion!!!
Pretty sure Rubio has gone kamikaze.
GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger: I Will Not Follow Orders from a President Trump
http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/03/gop-rep-adam-kinzinger-i-will-not-follow-orders-of-a-president-trump/
Kelly, “I’m not finished smacking you, Mr. Trump.”
notice all the ‘gotchas’ they put up are only directed at Trump….then they ask the other candidates about it
….oh yeah, Fox is dumping Romnio …. oh yeah
@Berg ~ sorry….don’t see him on the stage….
Kasich needs a grass skirt to make those hula dance moves look authentic. He just can’t keep still.
Romnio denigrates restaurant managers
I love it when Kasich opens up his Hong Kong book of Kung Fu!
Boobio is a TOTAL asshole with Spock ears.
And fake hair.
so far, the debates been all about Donald Trump
Rubot is getting raspy. He’s audio programming needs to be reset.
OMG!!! Trump sucked that money right out of those people’s wallets!
Cruz, the lawyer, doesn’t know the difference between a civil suit & a criminal investigation?
Cruz, “Count to 10!”
What is the BBB rating of the Republican congress over the last 8 years?
Dear John Kasich: that schtick went out with Bill Clinton’s lip biting. get in the next century please. thank you
How many polls show Trump beating Hillary versus the other way around?
Illust8r — So sorry — there is 1 debate per week until the November election! They’re not even going to stop at the convention! This is the GOPe’s secret weapon against the electorate! And if we aren’t broken by November, they’re going to continue into 2017! “Vee haff vays off mekking you giff up!”
Amazing how Fox has graphics against Trump handy
Cruz speaking truth about leftist policies responsible for destruction of Detroit.
I really want to see Rinsed out Previously to be ousted.
I wish Trump wouldn’t let little things get under his skin so bad – Or at least don’t show it so much. Tack, sophistication, you know, the little things against the little things that goes far. There’s no substance to keep pointing out polls, we all know them… It feels too much like filler. Kasich and Marco……(gurgle)……..Rubio can please stop wasting our time.
Somebody tuck a flower behind Kasich’s ear and hang a peace medallion around his neck.
from freep.com
Speaking times thru the third commercial break:
Donald Trump: 23:53
Ted Cruz: 11:03
John Kasich: 9:12
Marco Rubio: 8:42
The Fox pig pile on Trump is a double edged sword
…Still waiting for an answer to Petrus’ question – WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT on Ted’s lip??
Rubio cribbing Carson with the lame yoga comments.
When we are done with the yoga on stage…good zinger by Rubio.
Kasich thinks the alphabetical list of perverts freight train is going to stop because he’s stupid enough to sit on the tracks and wish it away.
Trump is dangerously on a downward slope, thinking getting along with Putin and supporting some restrictions on guns are good policies. Those are not the New York attitudes this country needs.
Wouldn’t I love to punch that smirk off of Megyn Kelly’s face
debate so far…
Cruz … but Donald, you said….
Romnio … but Donald, you said…
Fox panelists … but Donald, you said…
Kasich …. I’m gonna win …. don’t ask me how
Trump … I’m gonna win, it’s gonna be yuuuuuugh
Trump is getting exposed tonight. He doesn’t have an answer for much of it.
Him not releasing tapes is very telling.
Trump U is a joke
He is salesman…that is what he does
I worry about how Trump would preform in a debate against Hillary. She doesn’t want to debate really so maybe we’ll be spared that. Cruz vs Hillary would be delightful.
Shill O’Riley is the biggest dickhead on fox
They could make Megyn could do a pole dance at the next debate and i wouldnt watch it.
No wait, then i would watch.
The democrats are prepping the attack now and will have so much more than this on Trump and the media will run cover for Hillary and hammer Trump.
We need a guy that is a constitutional conservative that doesn’t have questionable business practices, questionable partners and contractor, fraud lawsuits, won’t release tax returns, or tapes with NYT interview, and that has changed positions from decade to decade, year to year, and week to week.
Loved the Yoga comments especially the second part where Cruz tells Rubio you wouldn’t want to see any yoga on this stage and Rubio responds something like “you never know, he’s flexible” point toward Trump.
That was funny.
Someone tell Kasich that if he drops out he can manage my rubber tree plantation.
kasich signing for the deaf too?
Trump bold face lies to us on Trump Univ about a bogus “A” rating at BBB. Its D minus.
O’Reilly questioning Cruz on Trump.
Can’t get a plain YES or NO out of Cruz. Every answer is a bob and weave.
Thanks for doing this, Aurelius.
Just saw the Drudge poll. 66% say Trump won?? Apparently that 66% wasn’t watching the debate. I am absolutely NOT a Kasich supporter, but in my opinion he was the most on-message tonight. The ADULT on the stage, as it were. I’m a Cruz supporter and I was happy that he stayed out of the majority of the fireworks, but Rubio is toast and Trump annoyed me a bit as well. There is no way that Trump actually “won” the debate tonight. And yes, I also recognize that Fox was hammering him pretty hard. But he needs to get used to it because if he is our nominee, Bret, Megyn, and Chris are gonna look like marshmallows compared to the shit train the Hillary shills will be hammering him with all summer and fall.
Mork, You, like most casual participants in the economy don’t get it. Let me help you out
http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/03/03/who-won-the-debate-post-debate-polls-2/
I didn’t watch the whole thing, but you guys made me curious about the thing on Cruz’s lip.
It looks weird as hell, and apparently, he swallowed it.
https://twitter.com/capattack/status/705583172097073153/video/1
@anonymous – do you know Mork personally? How else could you possibly know whether he is a “casual participant” in the economy? And I will never, ever, follow a link to the whackos at conservative treehouse. Personal experience on their tactics.
Anonymous, WTF is a “casual participant in the economy”? And, you know absolutely ZERO about me. If you actually watched tonight’s debate and you mean to tell me that Trump “won,” well, I’m going to call you on it. I don’t have a problem if you are a Trump supporter, my comment was directed ONLY at the idea that 66% of people voting in the Drudge poll (when I looked at it) said that he won the debate. I don’t care how many different polls taken from basically the same set of people say the same thing. Cheerleading for your candidate is fine—I want Cruz as the nominee and that’s that. If Trump wins, fine, I’ll vote for him too. But objectively speaking I don’t see how he “won” the debate. So, if that now means that I’m off the conservative reservation, which seems to be the modus operandi these days, I guess all the leftists I’ve been fighting with for thirty-some years are going to be mighty surprised.
Mork we’re on the same wave length tonight. I thought the same as you on the debate as did my husband.
Conservative Tree House, snort.
One thing about most of the polls sited is you can vote repeatedly and there are some juvenile enough to keep pressing the same button over and over. Perhaps they are “casual participants in the economy” who have nothing else to occupy their time.
