G.O.P. Debate (sans one Trumphole)

by — ,

Its happening tonight starting at 6pm local, another FAUX News Republican Debate.

And there WILL BE BLOOD…from whereever. (Hmmmm…reminds me of this debate from the 2008 campaign.)

There will be one notable change: There will be no Donald J. Trump at this debate. It seems that Donald Trump is afraid of a girl.

I’ll liveblog when I get the chance. Use the comment thread for your own penetrating analyses.

Or, just fling your own poo.

6:08: You can stream the debate live at foxnews.com.

6:09: Rubio, in his opening salvo, still comes off as irrationally angry and defensive like an adolescent. Or…as Atrios puts it…

6:15: Kasich is so general that is words get lost.

6:17: Ben Carson: “We need people who can think out of the box.” Let’s call it “Pyramid Thinking.”

6:19: Earth to Marco: ISIS is NOT the most dangerous terrorist group ever. Not even close.

6:30: Please, please, please, Ted…WALK OFF STAGE!!!!!

6:30: Let’s sell…Rubio attacked Ted over whining about moderators inciting attacks on Ted…

6:34: Rubio seems to think his path to electoral success is his daring stance to send people to Gitmo.

6:36: Rubio is continuing with his petulant ‘tude. Sorry, Marco, it is getting really old.

6:38: Ben Carson seems to believe we would “defeat ISIS” if only we could collectively stop being politically correct. What a moron!

6:39: Wouldn’t it be hilarious if Megyn Kelly got a nose bleed?

6:40: Someone should mention to Gov. Kasich…he is wearing his flaggy flag flag pin WAY TOO HIGH on his lapel. What a dork.

6:49: Chris Christie boasts about trashing women’s health care access in NJ. Way to go tough guy! No White House for you.

6:51: Cruz unloads a big fat lie about negatives of ObamaCare. Lies, lies, lies.

6:54: O’oh oh. We are into to the “Science Denial” segment of the debate.

6:57: Rubio talks Cap & Trade with the same petulant, alarmist tone that he talks about ISIS. Hope he can find peace-o-mind in a bunker somewhere.

7:01: Now Marco is getting defensive and angry over immigration. One trick pony!

7:01: Jeb! “I’m kind of confused…”

7:07: Ted Cruz totally dodges talking about his support of the immigration bill.

7:08: I think Rand Paul just cleaned Ted Cruz’s clock!

7:09: Ted…isn’t it about time for you to WALK OFF STAGE???

7:10: Apparently Ted Cruz flip-flopped on amnesty AND mean questions.

7:14: Jeb: “Dulce Candy is now an entrepreneur of The YouTube” (The Ghost of Ted Stevens takes notice.)

7:16: Ted: “Am not the candidate of the career politician of Washington” says the man who want to spend the next 8 years as exactly that.

7:30: Rubio delivers an ANGRY answer on how Americans are the most generous people on earth.

7:32: Aqua Buddah talks his virtuous philosophy. (Dodging the real question.)

7:34: Ben Carson: “Putin is an opportunist.” Can you say PROJECTION?

6:39: Wait…did Chris Christie just TOTALLY dodge the “ground troops Libya” question by talking about Hillary Clinton dodging questions??

7:44: The debate turns to the topic of SEX. Specifically…a brief 20 year old affair.

7:49: Cruz obfuscates his unpopular (in Iowa) position on Ethanol subsidies by confusing the hell out of everyone.

7:58: Carson just plagiarized 90% of his closing statement….

7:59:

8:02: Carson: “I’ve had more 2am phone calls than all here on the stage.” No shit. Get some sleep, man!

8:10: Megyn Kelly seems pained having an on-air conversation with Charles Krauthammer.

  1. 1

    Excellent responses from each candidate.

    Heilary Clinton can not be president!

  2. 2

    Quoting an actor for DUMMOCRETIN commentary?

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  3. 3

    negatives of ObamaCare are true!

    Covered in full yesterday!

  5. 5

    Rubio: Benghazi! Benghazi! Benghazi! That sure sounds like a winning platform. No doubt it’s the biggest thing on Americans’ minds. Nobody cares about the disappearing middle class etc. …

  6. 6

    “The days for the Clinton’s in public housing are over!”- Chris Christie

  7. 7

    Megan Kelly’s decision to go with the Rachel Maddow hair style tonight is the boldest thing about this debate.

  8. 8

    Very weak performance by Carson. He may have gifted hands, but he not a shining political star.

  9. 9

    @6 Terrific bumper sticker slogan. Worth at least $1.00 a copy. (Same as a daily issue of the Seattle Times.)

    Well this is getting interesting. The Donald has always been an asshole but as a private citizen no one really took the time to call him out on being an asshole.

    But if an R can’t rely on the military vote, there isn’t a chance in hell of winning. Of course for Trump, he won’t get African Americans or Jews (“Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.”), Women (Hey that Megyn Kelly sure is a Bimbo!), Latinos (Deport ’em all and let God sort it out) Arabs/Muslims (Seal the border, they’re all terrorists) so he doesn’t have a chance of winning anyway.

    Maybe having a hissy fit about a bimbo so trying to force a charity event for a charity that doesn’t really like you wasn’t a great idea. It invites scrutiny.

    for more than a decade Trump sought to deprive veterans in need of their meager livelihood because he found them unsightly nuisances who should not be allowed anywhere near his gleaming headquarters on Fifth Avenue.
    …
    Trump wrote in a letter to the New York State Assembly back in 1991, “While disabled veterans should be given every opportunity to earn a living, is it fair to do so to the detriment of the city as a whole or its tax paying citizens and businesses?”
    …
    He was still at it in 2004, when he wrote a letter to Mayor Mike Bloomberg. “Whether they are veterans or not, they [the vendors] should not be allowed to sell on this most important and prestigious shopping street,

    Gonna be a fun Spring and Summer.

    BTW, Fox News is sticking to their story that Donald required monetary donations to his charity to attend the debate and used the Bimbo eruption as cover. If Trump can’t even rely on the Network to praise his every falsehood to the Senior Citizen and angry middle aged white people demographic that is the last bit of reliably Republican base….um, how are much worse for the party can this get?

  12. 12

    @12 ” .. how are much worse for the party can this get?”

    Plenty worse — he ends up as their nominee, and they lose every office they currently hold, right down to village councilperson.

    So none of the remaining candidates at the debate put in a spectacular showing; Maybe one stealing from another candidate at the debate. If so Trump made the right call. Only if he looses Iowa or New Hampshire in a big way was his call wrong. He’s saying he is a winner. These other guys and gals are wanna bees.

    This election season maybe putting a light on whether debates are useful and if candidates are beholden to them. They are not and some should not enter in a debate at all. Certainly the current Republican show is a disaster. In fact Trump is doing us all a favor by calling it what it is. A SHOW, where ratings maybe more important than anything else. It and the democratic debate aren’t being a true neutral ie the League of Womens Voters. The moderators are part of the problem. sure some are great journalists, but stick the unknown professor from some school of law, politics, or rhetoric in there and you might get a real debate. Or at least a moderator who will call BS BS.

    So what is up in Olympia? Still trying to pony up for charter schools? Impeaching anyone? Baumgartner can’t understand the concept of the best way to keep local government out of the $15 an hour wage or leave policies is for the legislature to pass a $15 dollar minimum wage with a gurantee the legislature will vote on an increase every year with an up and down vote. Pass some kind of vacation/sick leave that all employers have to follow. Thank goodness those clowns don’t have to choose Congressional Senators anymore.

    With the big bertha and that rather large recent earthquake up here maybe a discussion about Washington states civil response would be a good thing. Are we ready for a 7 or 8 or 9 or just vaguely possible 10 up and down the coast. I don’t think we are truly ready for a 6 in the wrong place and a small tsunami.

    Are we ready for armed militants to seize the Northern Cascade Park? I’m sure Marblemount would love the business. Would the legislature insist the governor call out the guard if the Federal response is deemed slow. So come on up to the Skagit and look at the Eagles folks, and the Elk.

    Scum of the Earth. The World would be diminished to a dust ball if these guys ever became president.

  16. 16

    @14 Actually not at all true. The Earth would continue to revolved around the sun. There would be some slight reduction if the total mass as a very small amount of mass would be converted into energy in the atomic and hydrogen explosions you are alluding too. The Earth would not be a nice place to be after an atomic war but would still be here. Perhaps a human civilization would continue to struggle on or not. Perhaps god or aliens would step in but I doubt it. As I think we are perfectly free to have a frenzy of war and test out our weapons. See which ones live up to the expectations of General Dynamics. Did we get the more bang for the buck that was promised?
    Eventually though life would renew just like it did after that big asteroid caused all that destruction, and allededly killed off the dinosaus then again maybe the read Ann Rand and being all rich dinosaus are safe from the little people and dinos.
