Imagine playing that sound clip without context and people think Santorum's fighting for some huge increase.

And then tell them he's going that insane for 50 cents.
 
Holy fuck, did Santorum say something sane?! He just said "How are we going to win if we don't care about the common man" holy balls. Even if his 50 cents bit is horse shit, and not enough, he's the first republican I've seen actually say wages should increase.

Pataki just can't believe this guy next to him
 
I'm super pumped. Trump makes this stuff watchable, I can't deny it. I just want to see the Trump related stuff, and as a byproduct I'll be informed about GOP candidates positions :P
 
Some of you are mad or disgusted? What did you expect?

This is a Repub primary debate. They are playing the the reddest of red voters.

The bad policies are one thing, but it always surprises me how ignorant and dumb these men are considering the positions they are in. President Trump shouldn't be as far of a stretch as it seems when people like Rick Santorum and Bobby Jindal can serve as senators and governors.
 
Wish I wasn't in class for another three hours. Going to be too late and will only have time to watch the main event.
 
The Republican party is a complete mess, for ever 1 sane thing a candidate says 3 more absolutely insane things come next.
 
50 cents?

and that manufacturing jobs hype? seems to me those jobs will get automated anyway. lets focus on more creative jobs.
 
Why is this still going? I figured surely one hour.

Hm, until 7:45? Wow. That's way more screen time per person than the others will be getting as a group of 11 in a 3 hour debate (theoretical 25min vs 16). Fiorina benefited greatly from the extra exposure in the first debate via being the center of the Loser's Bracket, and these 4 guys are getting quite an opportunity to distinguish themselves. Realistically this is the only TV time they're ever going to get again.

And, hey, the main debate is 3 hours. Goddamn that's a lot of crazy to discuss. It's legit hard to stay angry/mentally sharp for 3 straight hours and it'll be fun to watch people collapse in the final stretch. I feel so sorry for Jake at the moderator's table. No way was he knew he'd be putting in 5 hours of effort when he signed up for this. No one deserves to have to go through that type of babysitting.
 
Santorum and the Huckster have always had a sort of populist bent to them beyond the crazy religious aspect.

Huckabee seems to have mostly ditched it this cycle though.
 
I got afraid when I saw a lot of old white men with a token minority on stage and thought I missed the real debate.

Turns out it's just the junior varsity debate! Praise be.

This is hilarious.

IMO yes they are truly a damn mess and it's hard for me to believe that an American populace could vote any one of these people in. But then I think of all the people that agree with every insane thing these people say.

Mind you. There are a lot of very moderate and cool republican people out there. But to me their party has become so damn fringe it's almost about who can be the most insane.

Now imagine the Democratic contest ending 3 months before the GOP contest.

And all of these months of crazy GOP statements being chopped-up.
And over those 3 months where the Democratic nominee isn't fighting, he/she is carpet-bombing the airwaves with montage-style commercials filled with these crazy statements.

It'd set the theme for the year, and define the GOP early, no matter who their nominee ends-up being. It'd be poisonous for a general election.

These GOP debates are gifts.
 
Can somebody explain this "rebuild our military" when we are spending more per year than the next top 10 countries combined?
