Support NeoGAF

[BennyBlanco]

As one of the only few people on gaf that can vote for one of these people in the primary...

I'm leaning Rubio.

I felt that he had a good debate, and had good rebuttal vs trump and jeb! Slants against him.

though for being the third debate, this really needed to be down to 5. How on earth this is still 10 + 4 in the kiddie bathroom is beyond me.

Right there with you, buddy. I thought Rubio shined in every debate. Can't wait for primaries.

 

[DietRob]

Someone needs to explain to me why Carson is so high in the polls? I was thinking about this before the debate. I watched tonight and nothing he said was making any sort of sense whatsoever.

I can understand why Trump has been up in the polls. He's a charismatic guy and as disgusting as his views on immigration a lot of the country agrees with him.

With Carson I truly do not understand what his appeal is. Is it possible to explain how he's getting support?

 

[Apt101]

All joking aside, this is all extremely worrying. The candidates, the poll results, the level of discourse for the highest office, all of it.

 

[Foffy]

Oh shit, CNN reporting that RNC head came out in person and was yelling at CNBC for the questions.

Why yell? Not happy that it started with them being grilled?

Did this yelling happen during or after the debates? Because the tone surely did change during one of the breaks, and went into a more softball territory.

I have to keep posting this

He's gotten more airtime in cable news than the other (better spoken) candidates.

 

[jurgen]

I think Rubio secured the nomination tonight with Jeb's "Warm Kisses" flub.

 

[Manmademan]

Can anyone briefly summarize why Jeb is dead politically?

he's been cratering for weeks now. went from first to fifth. needed a breakout night to stop the bleeding, and stopping his donors from leaving his campaign (Bush is extremely reliant on a small number of high dollar donors, no one else is).

he did the worst out of anyone on that stage, had the least amount of speaking time, AND Rubio had a breakout night, looking like a frontrunner.

he's done.

 

[Sanjuro]

imo

Christie isn't "done".

 

[B-Dubs]

Oh shit, CNN reporting that RNC head came out in person and was yelling at CNBC for the questions.

And this is why we'll never see Anderson Cooper moderate one of these GOP debates.

 

[Euron]

I missed the first hour. What happened to Jeb?

Token black guy to skirt questions about a racist party stuck in the past?

 

[Trouble]

imo

Cruz?

 

[benjipwns]

imo

Fiorina is polling worse than Jeb! and Cruz, and she's not far from falling past Huck and Rand.

 

[FiggyCal]

Christie isn't "done".

Everything Christie did tonight was embarrassing.

Edit: And don't fall for the Fiorina hype. The media has been trying to make it happen forever now.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Carson's literally the biggest idiot on stage. No hospital should allow him to practice after hearing some of the things he's saying.

 

[SolarPowered]

imo

By December? Yeah, this is the scenario unless something changes. We'll get a couple of crossed out names by the tenth of November, though.

 

[RustyNails]

This is what I just don't get. Nothing he says makes sense, he comes off like a complete pill head. It's utterly and completely bizarre.

Did you see the crowd completely washing Carson's balls? There's your answer. To them, he's this zen-like super genius man which means he is also smart about politics, but he is also a nice and calm Jesus. He can never be wrong.

And here is Carson's entire shtick: He gets called out, and he says the thing he gets called out on is no longer on the table. Keep this in your mind next time you see him answer a question.

 

[Officerrob]

imo

Fiornia's numbers are poorer than Jeb's

 

[Sanjuro]

Everything Christie did tonight was embarassing.

Not for his party. Put it this way, him and Cruz make a wonderful Jekyll and Hyde. Helps they are next to each other at the podiums!

Fiornia's numbers are poorer than Jeb's

She has a vagina though.

 

[Meowster]

It was interesting seeing half the candidates root for anarchy.

 

[Bluth54]

The season premiere of The Profit.

...yeah...

FOX News is better than this trash.

This fucking network literally used the debate to launch into their Bar Rescue.

I jokingly referenced this network as SpikeTV earlier in the debate.

The Profit is a great show.

 

[Foffy]

I missed the first hour. What happened to Jeb?

It wasn't just the first hour. The guy burned himself alive on stage.

 

[Jarmel]

Why yell? Not happy that it started with them being grilled?

Did this yelling happen during or after the debates? Because the tone surely did change during one of the breaks, and went into a more softball territory.

I don't know if it happened during the debate but it definitely happened afterwards.

 

[benjipwns]

Everything Christie did tonight was embarassing.

He's now on FOX having this discussion:
Hannity: "Most of those questions sounded like they came right from Democrat HQ."
Christie: "Yep, and yet we were still able to get the issues talked about."

 

[Manmademan]

Christie isn't "done".

he was "done" weeks ago. now he's just burnt

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Fiornia's numbers are poorer than Jeb's

She also has much less money and party connections. The media really has done a good job of making her look like she's doing so great.

 

[params7]

I think Rubio secured the nomination tonight with Jeb's "Warm Kisses" flub.

This. Either him or Trump at this point.

Bush campaign manager confronts CNBC producer

Jeb Bush campaign manager Danny Diaz got into a heated confrontation with a CNBC producer outside the debate as it was happening, according to two sources familiar with the incident.

One of the sources said Diaz was complaining about speaking time allotments.

“It’s a poorly managed debate,” said a Bush campaign staffer.

 

[Flying Toaster]

Trump/Carson ticket "Help America become great again through the power of lies!"

You saw it here on GAF first this will happen!

 

[Oriel]

I said damn Hillary.

Oh WOW! Hillary in not giving a fuck mode. lol

 

[Amentallica]

Right there with you, buddy. I thought Rubio shined in every debate. Can't wait for primaries.

This debate and every Republican debate is a black hole, yet you managed to see the light.

 

[ErnieMcCracken]

As an Ohio resident, fuck Kasich. Not that I'd vote for any Republican but seriously he sucks.

 

[Sanjuro]

The Profit is a great show.

I have no idea on the quality, could be great! Just feels cheap that the moment after the huge debate you just flubbed aired, your network bails the hell out for a reality show.

 

[Manmademan]

Fiornia's numbers are poorer than Jeb's

she does better in debates though, and will get a moderate bump out of this. enough to keep her in the discussion.

Jeb! was a disaster though. he's going to be in the basement with christie and paul.

 

[bearythebear]

Going after Trump in the last couple debates failed, so now they are gonna after the Moderators.

 

[RustyNails]

Christie's debate team has prepped him good. They told him "look to the camera when you talk", and "focus on Hillary as if you're running against her." It's a classic debate strategy. It never pays off.

 

[Trail Guide]

Carson's literally the biggest idiot on stage. No hospital should allow him to practice after hearing some of the things he's saying.

Every time I hear Carson speak all I can think of is the George Carlin line, 'By the process of elimination we can find the worst doctor on earth, and someone has an appointment to see him tomorrow".

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

I honestly fear that we won't get anymore serious drops until Super Tuesday.

 

[DietRob]

I have to keep posting this

Yep, just as scary as I thought the answer would be.

Token black guy to skirt questions about a racist party stuck in the past?

idk if I'm ready to give republicans this much credit yet.

 

[Jarmel]

I wouldn't be surprised if some people at CNBC lost their jobs tonight.

 

[nomster]

Christie really came across as a guy who would never order a spiteful bridge closing tonight.

 

[Snake]

The stuff of nightmares.

 

[Euron]

It wasn't just the first hour. The guy burned himself alive on stage.

I was wondering what the thing with Rubio was.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Bush campaign manager confronts CNBC producer

You want top time in debate?

You gotta be top polling son

 

[Meowster]

I said damn Hillary.

Damn.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Winner for tonight: Rubio

Man was on fire tonight without being super ridiculous about it. He got a lot of good moments that will get played tomorrow for people who didn't watch the debate, and didn't make any major missteps.

Loser for tonight: Jeb!

Dude went from frontrunner to joke candidate that the moderators throw softball questions to.

 

[FiggyCal]

Christie's debate team has prepped him good. They told him "look to the camera when you talk", and "focus on Hillary as if you're running against her." It's a classic debate strategy. It never pays off.

His fat ass looking directly at the camera and talking down to the audience is not endearing or cute -- it's gross. He's no Ben Carson; that's for sure.

 

[B-Dubs]

I honestly fear that we won't get anymore serious drops until Super Tuesday.

We're gonna see Jeb pull out as soon as all his donor flock to Rubio, he won't last the month.
