Jobs will move from actually making stuff to repairing the stuff that makes the stuff.

Yep.

 

[CharminUltra]

Way to generalize, there.

#barownersfuckyeahhhh

 

[Jarmel]

Santorum wrecking Graham. This is fun.

 

[Boke1879]

Santorum is actually.....right

Yea but a 50 cent increase over 3 years is shit lol

 

[adj_noun]

Oh, Putin oughta be good. Let me get some Rocky IV soundtrack going.

 

[StoveOven]

I thought the elephant in the room was ISIS Lindsay. And now you are saying it's debt? Which is it, you flip flopper!

It's the debt that we can only fix if we devote more money to fighting ISIS

 

[Kusagari]

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.

 

[RoninChaos]

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.

 

[The Technomancer]

Wow, Santorum actually getting heated

 

[Ashodin]

Pataki just can't believe this guy next to him

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Santorum is actually.....right

Take a frothy drink!

 

[dallow_bg]

Graham steaming too at being told his parents didn't "work" for a living.

50 cents, what a joke.

 

[Arkos]

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

 

[Fox318]

Where did this Santorum come from?

 

[minor effort]

Did Santorum just make kind of a valid point just now?

 

[Rebel Leader]

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.

But also told them they will get a 50 cent raise

 

[Ninja Scooter]

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.

 

[NullPointer]

Somebody needs to put hit point bars over each of the candidates in these "debates".

 

[Pocky4Th3Win]

Did Santorum just make kind of a valid point just now?

Sadly yes.

 

[Paskil]

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.

 

[FiggyCal]

Oh boy. This version of Reagan wasn't a raving racist.

 

[Simmins]

The Republican party is a complete mess, for ever 1 sane thing a candidate says 3 more absolutely insane things come next.

 

[Sobriquet]

Did Santorum just make kind of a valid point just now?

He did. I feel dirty.

 

[barnone]

Spoiler

50 cents?

and that manufacturing jobs hype? seems to me those jobs will get automated anyway. lets focus on more creative jobs.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

Lol Reagan troll

 

[aspiegamer]

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.

 

[Big Baybee]

Oh boy. This version of Reagan wasn't a raving racist.

lol I bet that ad pissed off a few folks watching.

 

[Rebel Leader]

He did. I feel dirty.

You can clean yourself with the 50 cent raise comment

 

[bomma_man]

Rick Santorum wants to increase the minimum wage? How fucking random

in a multiparty system he'd probably be a socially conservative social democrat - like a dixiecrat or something.

 

[Gorger]

Oh, Putin oughta be good. Let me get some Rocky IV soundtrack going.

Let me do that for you:

[atr0cious]

Lol, Santorum just shocked everyone. Common fucking sense is now ether. I'm cheering in here waiting for class to start.

 

[Sobriquet]

You can clean yourself with the 50 cent raise comment

Over 3 years! OK, I'm clean again.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

Where did this Santorum come from?

This is his thing. Always has been plus the horrible social positions

 

[Kusagari]

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.

 

[Africanus]

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.

 

[Boke1879]

The Republican party is a complete mess, for ever 1 sane thing a candidate says 3 more absolutely insane things come next.

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.

 

[HylianTom]

The Republican party is a complete mess, for ever 1 sane thing a candidate says 3 more absolutely insane things come next.

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.

 

[Arkos]

He did. I feel dirty.

Yeah I feel the same way when one of them inevitably says something reasonable. Don't worry, keep watching and the feeling will pass

[NYCmetsfan]

War!

 

[Sobriquet]

WTF of course Graham would start a war with Iran. Has the moderator not been paying attention?

 

[BitStyle]

That was one heck of a Freudian slip.

Lol

 

[Fox318]

CUT TAXES

SPEND ON MILITARY

 

[rjinaz]

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

 

[Gnome Scat]

Did Santorum just make kind of a valid point just now?

He got 90% of the way there, that 50 cent over 3 year plan was bullshit.

 

[Tugatrix]

Radical Islam again, sound like a broken record
