Welcome to the IOTW live blog! This debate will be, potentially, extremely influential in Tuesday’s primary.
I’ll be looking for attacks levied against Marco Rubio and whether Donald Trump will unload on Ted Cruz or vice versa.
Please join me at 8 and let’s have some fun!
reporting for doody.
howdy.
My son’s boy scout troop put together a campfire skit called “the doody roster”. It was hilarious!
Cookie Roberts vanished, replaced by Donna Brazille? 8:10
The walk on looks fucked up ??????
LOL! They almost forgot Kasich.
somebody needs to get that woodpecker out of Cruz’s podium
Cruz out of the box – weak and wimped out on his outrageous statements about Trump.
Carson drops Cruz’s dick in the dirt … “Washington ethics”
…good thing CNN didn’t report Carson was dead!
Really, Cruz. Why would a conservative rely on CNN for info about a fellow conservative?
Cruz apologizes and then lies about the story. Ben Carson corrects Cruz’s timeline – asks voters to be the judge.
Chrispy is chopping little Marco off at the knees!
Chrispy …. “… here comes the speech again”
POW!!!
Christie Rubio bash each other
Bush blathers on – waiting for Mommy to come out.
Memo to Jeb! ….thanks for flying Republican Airlines…..buh bye
All Rubio has to do is ask Christie if he is familiar with traffic cones.
I’m moving to “Better call Saul” on Netflix. Catch y’all later.
Trump .. “… we have a president that is totally incompetent”
BANG!
I thought Bush dropped out to live in Mexico.
wtf??? Rubio …. the people of the US will not support deportation???
Every time I look at Christie, all I see is he and Barry walking on the Jersey shore, arm in arm. Some “leader”. Yeah right.
Trump, nobody is dying on the street. Clueless.
8:51 – Cruz is for a wall.
Bush has that look like he just stepped in dog shit
This whole thing is just embarrassing. I am literally appalled by every single one of these clowns tonite.
Trump offered that old lady a million bucks to move ….she didn’t take it …..he moved on ……no ‘Eminent Domain’ \
Bush is talking out his ass & the donors are lapping it up
Cruz drafting Trump on the wall — that was after Cruz consulted his pollsters over several months and finally decided it was safe to say that.
9:05 Trump still doesn’t explain eminent domain correctly and still has it wrong! Sucks but my #1 issue is immigration and border security. Trump’s ALL IN on that.
Trump is getting booed because the audience is papered with Bush, Rubio supporters/DONORS.
The woman in NJ NEVER LOST HER HOUSE. She was offered MILLIONS for a house worth less than $200,000. She NEVER accepted the offers. years later put the house up for sale $5 million and ended up selling the house for way less than what was offered at the time Trump and Guccione offered to purchase. The house still stands there today DESPITE the FALSE CRUZ commercial that WRONGLY accused Trump of taking that house away with E.D. laws and bulldozing it.

“99th Squad Leader
February 6, 2016 at 8:56 pm
Every time I look at Christie, all I see is he and Barry walking on the Jersey shore, arm in arm. Some “leader”. Yeah right.”
Yep, that’s what I see too. Laurel and Hardy arm-in-arm. Christie said he had to do that to get Federal funds. I call BS!
Uh oh, Trump just told America the room is filled with donors and special interests. Boooooo!!!
Just back to hear Trump explain the necessity of “eminent domain.” Bridges, roads, hospitals, railroads, etc. Bush came back at him with the old lady in Atlantic City, being evicted? The LoFo s from the Bush camp booed Trump. Bush has that smarmy look of “I won.”. Sickening. Back to “Better call Saul.”
oooooooo ….. “if Jeb! was just this tough against Trump from the beginning, who knows were this race would be”…… lmao
“Can I buy a clue for a hundred, Alex?”
Jeb! is more articulate than his brother, but lacks half the charisma …he’d still be polling single digits
Oh BTY. Is the Keystone Pipeline private or public or a mixture.?
99th Squad Leader — I’ve heard him say this many times on the stump. In context (which is how I’ve heard it) he’s saying that no one should be cut off from help if they really can’t afford it — that no should have to die because they couldn’t afford a doctor.
Rubio speechifying again
@Moetom ~ how was ‘Better Than Saul’? 😉
Rubio has some great answers but would get to Washington and do just the opposite.
Kasich is sniffing unicorn farts again.
I think the nature of the pipeline project makes it both, but built by a private company but I could be wrong. Because of the public right of way, it would take eminent domain to make it work.
Carpet bombing by definition is indescriminant. This guy doesn’t understand our offensive weapons
Wouldn’t it be great if every four years we didn’t have this spectacle, U.S. politics version of American Gladiator? How about C-SPAN air every debate professionally moderated by only those who are completely outside the media complex — asking questions that pertain directly to the job of president?
You’d think if we could put a man on the moon…
They could put George Stephanopoulos on the moon.
for the third time Marco ….. answer the question ….at least answer it until you get applause….
Blurb on ABC on the debate about 68% of Americans think others who make more than 1M should be taxed more..Who the hell are they asking?
first ABC disses the one woman running on the republican side….now they’re totally ignoring the black guy & giving Jeb! every opportunity
…guess it’s only sexist or raaaaaacist if you’re a demonRAT
9:33 – Trump – how to deal with ISIS – BOMB, take the oil, take their money away.
Moan Laabe. Saul is a fucking shyster lawyer just like these scumbags . But he’s “honest” about it.
I can’t believe I said that. Damn!
Cruz screws the pooch on Waterboarding…. “legislation…. with (my campaign manager) Steve King …”
9:38 – TRUMP – we have the Middle East chopping heads off of people. Not since the Middle Ages have we seen horrendous acts. I’d bring back waterboarding and MORE!
I think we all know what a bald-faced farce having the left moderate a debate would be. The RNC wants an establishment candidate, the left want an establishment candidate. This is just plain wrong. They teed this up for tomorrow’s news cycle and their friends at News Corp. Everybody gets a paycheck!
9:42 Cruz – Day 1 will use executive order to take away every single Obama executive order.
we know we have to ask all these other ‘candidate’ questions … but, what do you think about this Jeb!?
too bad ABC can’t have an exclusive Q&A w/ Jeb! without the bother of all these other people……sheesh
Got here late. Somebody did one hell of a job packing the audience with GOP establishment hacks. If Yeb farts he gets a standing O.
Geoff C. Saltine, I get it, but no one is being turned away from getting healthcare. Clinics and emergency departments in the US treat anyone at anytime even when patient cannot pay.
I’m so sick & tired of ‘the first hundred days’ bullshit …. it’s media bullcrap symbolism…..you got over 1200 days to do something ….. do it, do it right!
99 — No me or my family. I’d still get a bill from the ER and if I can’t pay it, they’d seize my assets — if I have any.
….still haven’t found that woodpecker in Cruz’s podium
Cruz is hitting home runs.
Trump is getting repetitive.
Rubio is a one track recording.
Christy is out of his league.
Carson is invisible.
Kasich is dull.
Bush who?
Abigail Adams – Nope. I have had emergency and chronic illness situations and made payment arrangements AFTER treatment, especially when I’ve had no insurance.
For those who can’t pay, costs are absorbed by taxpayers, and yes, not the best solution, but no one is dying on the street because they have no access to healthcare in this country.
ABC wack-job … “.. they’re not just angry; they’re angry about the anger.. ”
….ooooooooo kay…….
99th Squad Leader – we’ve got veterans dying due to poor and no treatment.
99 — I understand what you are saying. I agree with it in principle, but a big part of the problem is that anyone should be getting their healthcare at an ER. Because there are many who we’d consider middle income (now lower middle income) who have no insurance (they pay the penalty instead) and put off health exams and what they think are minor problems until they need an ER visit. Or, because every single dollar for healthcare is out of pocket because of very high deductibles, people aren’t getting regular health checkups that they probably did in past times. And, as many of those Americans are now 8 years older than when obama took office, they’ve gotten older and are even more prone to issues related to aging. For those of us with good health (not saying you, necessarily) it’s hard to imagine what it might be like to know you really should see a doc for a number of things, but you just can’t afford it.
I think the biggest part of the problem with healthcare are insurance companies and litigation attorneys.
10:14 – ABC wasting time on Bush and he gets ROBUST APPLAUSE. Stacked audience.
Geoff C. says, “I don’t want any women in combat.” I agree.
Tune in tonight…..It’s the ‘Jeb! Show’ on ABC!
good god! …. bring back Carly …at least she’d take a minute away from Jeb!
10:18 – Veterans health care question – Veterans die from poor or no health care.
It sure is the Jeb show. WTF?
every election we hear from every candidate about how they’d fix the VA ….. I am so sick of politician’s promises …..all bullshit & no bull
Abigail Adams and Mr. Pinko, I definitely agree with your points – believe me I understand the issues concerning healthcare in this country. Trump’s statement is still incorrect, in my opinion.
Rubio was actually waiting for the applause on the ‘one man, one woman’ comment… lol
10:25 – Trump supports Veterans, troops. Supported the Foley family financially and through friendship. Raised $6 million for Veterans in one night.
I’d like to kiss Mary Katherine Ham squarley on her lips for a very, very long time…
99th Squad Leader – you’re interpreting Trump’s answer wrong. He’s saying with his NEW Health Care plan – NO ONE will be left behind dying in the street. His new plan will not screw anybody (INCLUDING VETERANS)
Now we hit the part of the program where we get out the rulers and measure the length of everyone’s dick.
This is for willysgoatgruff
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-LVLznqgUQ
@Geoff ~ guess I win then …. 😉
I hope so, Mr. Pinko. Trump’s commitment to conservatism and patriotism is keeping me in his corner.
Molon — I was talking about the guys on the stage. This is part where everyone gets to out do the other guys. It’s stupid.
99th, what you describe has been in existence way before the Obamacare train wreck. In the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s. If you go to an emergency room you get treated. It’s just 10 times the price now for the rest of us.
Camera right on cue on Rubio’s family.
Rubio’s oldest daughter’s got that ‘teenage attitude’ going
Trump trumps Cruz’s closing statement.
Yeb, Yeb, Yeb. Pro-life trumps individualism? http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/jan/28/michael-schiavo-on-disgusting-pro-life-ad-shame-on/
http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/news-columns-blogs/fred-grimm/article56890288.html
Reality check to Cruz … at the moment, you have exactly one more delegate than Trump or Rubio
@ Mr. Pinko…Thank you very much!…LOL….she’s a beauty!…
Georgie Steffy will be reporting that Yeb won this debate with Kasich a strong second. RINOS and leftists media political hacks unite! *sigh*
That’s because he got Carsons votes by the way. Fucking Trump. Yea he’s got my vote.
@Geoff ~ I know…. couldn’t resist the juvenile humor
ABC comment: “Trump acted like a front runner.”
Trump Won!
I beginning to dig the hell out of that New York attitude.
You’re right, Bad Brad and yes, healthcare costs are ridiculous.
I thought Cruz’s closing was perfect for someone who doesn’t want to win the GE. He made it very clear that he is staunchly conservative and it won’t play in Peoria with people who are scared senseless by who the DNC say they are on social issues. He’s been running for so long, now, on the “I’m the only real conservative” platform, it seems he forgot that the debate is a national audience made up of a lot of people who will be put off by what they will perceive as stubbornly ideological. So, so many people don’t even know what conservatism is, only what the Dems tell them it is.
Well guys whaddayathink? Jeb had the biggest biggest and loudest loudest crowd. So I guess he won.. Go Trump/Cruz. Get together men. Don’t let us down.
Go Broncos!!!!!!!!!!
I knew something was missing tonight. Trump, and others, kept the personal crap to a minimum. I thought Tump was dignified, which was really good to see. If he ends up winning this whole thing, well its good to know he can reign it in.
This is the story of the night:
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/02/06/analysts-marco-rubio-crushed-by-chris-christie/
.
Winners …. no one, except massive amounts of ‘Jeb! time’ … obviously planned by ABC ….amazing how the establishment tries to manipulate everything on both sides
Losers …. Rubio … inexperience … needs a booster seat
Trump … only fug-up was the Police answer … decent night
Carson … least camera time, always articulate, always gracious & mannerly…. just what the country needs, but won’t get … God bless you Dr. Carson
Chrispy … cleaned little Marco’s clock
Kasich … at least after Monday he, hopefully, won’t be around
Bush … ugh, most camera time … what a waste
Cruz … not a good night …. “my legislature with Steve King” .. really? .. & that woodpecker in his podium!
Donald Trump handily beat Cruz and Rubio. Anyone see it differently?
Only ONE question negates Trump – Eminent Domain. Other than that – brilliant night.
99th, we need to start taking care of our people. There’s a looming health care crisis coming. And it’s a sin to throw our war fighters to the curb. They’re a hell of a lot more valuable than our college indoctrinated communists. They are the fabric of our nation.
AbigailAdms – You nailed it.
This kind of shit sums up why I stopped supporting Trump:
“Cruz won because he got Ben Carson’s vote.”
What an 0bama petulant bullshit thing to say.
Fuck you Trump.
President Rubio has a better ring than President petulant Trump.
Go Peyton and Broncos defense!
THANK YOU Aurelius! Great job as always.
Trump kicked ass. Trump won despite the loaded audience. I feel by skipping the last debate he was out of sight out of mind but he dominated tonight. This is just what he needed and could not do any better. He left everything he had at that podium. Let the pundits hash it out. Progressives are the disease, Trumps the cure.
At the next debate I want to hear these guys start tearing up killary and the bern it could not happen tonight being on ABC. Its time to thin the herd and get down to the nit and grit of who our sides leader is going to be. It looked like Trump won Carson was good Rubio did poorly Cruz was ok. Watch for how good Yeb was from the talking heads.
11:10 – Watching Fox News bash Trump.
It sounds like Christie kicked Rubio’s ass over Rubio’s readiness.
The summaries of that are gruesome. I need to re-think Christie. re-think my Christie ideas. His Rubio points apply almost equally to Cruz. Christie’s more qualified than either.
Loco, WTF? That’s a true statement. What the heck dude?
Geoff – It didn’t happen because Carli wasn’t there. That’s her shtick.
Trump is like a dumb IQ 78 athlete being interviewed.
“Um, were gonna win because we will give 110%!”
Interviewer: how?
“Uh, because THE OTHER TEAM SUCKS! Yeahhh!!!”
Did Trump purchase the Jim Jones Flavor-Aid franchise?
Loco — So hard to understand how that works, but it does. I think people are just fed up with the forked-tongue politispeak and when you get right down to it, Trump is right. He (and we) are going to win because the other team sucks. They suck big! They suck a lot! No one has ever sucked so much!
Loco, have you ever read Trump Internationals portfolio. You’re right. The guys a dead fucking loser. Dude you’re a smart guy. Figure it out. By the way, check the polls out. You seem to be one of the few that thought he sucked.
Brad, if Trump pulls it off, I will be the first to admit I was dead wrong.
I don’t believe I am. Time will tell.
I want to win so bad, I just have trouble ignoring all the red flags.
I was nearly all in for Trump a couple of months ago.
I only blast him because he is insulting me with some of the statements he makes.
He lost my trust.
Loco, how is he insulting you? Exactly what has he said that offends you?
Loco, he’s not going to stop the importation of Tah Kill Ya. Just Mexicans. Your safe Bro.
Trump has made many false statements about my core beliefs.
Like I am some idiot for supporting Cruz because of horseshit Trump ‘birther’ lies.
Three months ago Trump said Cruz was 100% eligible.
Now, not so much.
That insults my intelligence.
I am far from stupid.
He said Cruz is worse than Hillary.
Really?
So, if Cruz gets the nomination, will Trump vote for Hillary?
Will Trump run as an Independent?
Or is it simply hyperbole bullshit?
Do we really need more lies?
Trump said he could make deals with Pelosi, Reid, & Schumer.
They don’t make deals.
They don’t reach across the isle.
They do not compromise.
The only way to deal with them is to BURY THEM!
Destroy them.
You cannot compromise with that scum.
They damn sure won’t compromise with conservative principles.
That is why I get insulted by Trump.
Cut the bullshit Donald and act presidential.
In all honesty, the more he opens his mouth and flaps his gums the more I see Trump as a billionaire 0bama.
OK, I gotcha, and some what of a valid point. But here’s how I digest this. Trumps like the ultimate politically incorrect business warrior. Trump is not smooth, Trump is not P.C. Trump attacks from instinct when he thinks the time is right. So here’s the deal. Last man standing we both support.
Agreed, Bad Brad.
I will agree to support the last man standing.
It damn well better not be Bush or Kasich.
I hope to get past the hypocrisy of all the rhetoric too.
Everyone is guilty of it and I hate it.
Loco, 99th. It’s a fucked up three dimensional chest game full of lies and bull shit. We all need to calm down and rally behind the “The Guy”. Don’t hate the player, hate the game. What the hell are we going to do if a Sanders gets elected?
Loco — I can’t respond to everything you say because even though I’ve heard every rally, town hall and interview he’s given, I missed some of the things you mention.
Anyway, I’m not into kidding myself at this age. I’ve done my share of cringing but I think it’s mostly because, hey, I’ve been just as vulnerable to PC as anyone else. It wasn’t until I realized who Trump really is (BadBrad sums up) that I stopped feeling bad about it. One thing’s for sure, he thinks for himself, he’ll go into the WH not owing a shiny dime or a one red cent to anyone. A lot of people think he’s rough hewn, but I’d rather have that than someone like Rubio who can eviscerate you with a smile.
…I meant eviscerate you while smiling.
Abigail and Brad, I am in agreement with a lot of what you have to say.
Hopefully this will all come out in the wash and we can get down to the business of developing the next Bill O’Reilly book, ‘Killing Hillary’.
I was very encouraged about the way they absolutely eviscerated that Hillary cow in the debate tonight.
She can expect a heaping helping of that for the next 9 months.
She can run but she cannot hide for the facts.
Loco, Bull Shit, you just feel better now because you learned they weren’t going to prohibit you’re favorite beverage. LOL. Good night.
had to work, sounds like i missed a barn burner.
“The only way to deal with them is to BURY THEM! Destroy them.”
Here’s Ted Cruz talking BI-PARTISANSHIP, DEBATE, CONVERSATION. Doesn’t sound like burying or destroying to me. Sounds like deal making with the other side.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaMTKHXq1xU
TO Loco
Think of the irony of Cruz’s remark: he “wants to change the way Washington works” after USING the ways Washington works to – ahem – acquire votes in Iowa…
…and Trump rightly called him out on it.
Not diplomatic. Just true.
Just “reap what you sow,” and all…
Mr. Pinko – This One’s For You!
