[Gattsu25]

Freeze regulations for a year?

Yo everyone go crazy, try not to burn down the place lols!!!

Seriously, this is the craziest thing said tonight and muthafuckin huckabee is there

Answering the question is not the goal of debates

[RustyNails]

Trump is afraid of going after Rubio and Carson...yeah he's gonna flatline

 

[sk3]

Talking about how you improved the armpit of america is not really a great argument.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

Kasich making closing statements

 

[Oriel]

Kasich being given way more speaking time than he deserves given his polling. Bush and Trump will be spitting blood.

 

[SolarPowered]

Kasich: fuck this question

Pretty much lol

"Reagan told me drugs are a scourge. Better be careful not to OD on Mary Jane, Colorado. Have some unrelated answer about income inequality instead."

 

[Yekshemesh]

All this rambling... moderators do your job.

 

[Slayven]

Only cannabis question deflected with ease

I forgot what they asked him midway through his rant

 

[CCS]

Freeze regulations.

Is that the single most impractical idea ever?

I'm going to go with yes.

 

[Pyroclastic]

Have the candidates been allowed to ignore the questions like that all night? kasich just did two lines on drugs and then the rest of his answer was completely unrelated.

Miss Fiorina. Do black lives matter? And ONLY Fiorina. - CNBC Moderation Future

 

[Trouble]

Kasich is clearly suffering from RDS (Reagan Delusion Syndrome) if he brings up Reagan in a discussion about balanced budgets, lol.

 

[brainchild]

Moderators are just fucking hopeless. They can't even call candidates on shit on their websites or get them to shut up.

It's a damned circus up on that stage and the moderators are just letting them all have at it. It's not even entertaining, it's just sad.

 

[Eidan]

Freeze regulations. Everything that is said during this debate is madness.

 

[Belfast]

Actually, curing all diseases would greatly affect the economy. People would probably live longer in general, spend more money over their greater lifespan, and waste far less on health care.

Of course, as a policy, this is still insane. Feasability of actually curing those diseases aside, pharma companies don't want to cure diseases and would fight it. Plus, there's the whole thing with defunding or mistrust in scientific research slowing things way down. And guess which side is chiefly responsible for that?

 

[Jarmel]

There are no rules in this place, anything goes, it's thunderdome!

Ten candidates enter, one candidate leaves.

 

[Epsilon-delta]

now they just cry LIBERAL MEDIA when they get fact checked because everyone knows facts have a liberal bias

and then rand paul overrides the moderator

then cruz missile does too

huckabee: "my weakness is that i follow the rules too much"

They're babies who can't stand when someone tells them that they're full of shit. Their only defense against fact checking is liberal media bias, and their base eats it up.

 

[ivysaur12]

Trump is afraid of going after Rubio and Carson...yeah he's gonna flatline

We've said this after the last two debates, to be fair.

 

[Zaph]

If this is what swagger looks like, then no, we don't need it in Europe.

 

[redhood56]

They should play the music that Sony played when they revealed harada for sf v. It is very fitting for this debate.

 

[NewFresh]

New metric for the GOP debate, who can talk the longest while answering the least amount of questions asked.

 

[Tarkus]

The republicans attacking the media for being biased.

I cannot breathe.

Go write your book and become a Fox News host Kasich. Fuck off.

 

[Beelzebufo]

The mods can't ask the candidates the questions they were asked because that would be an attack. This is supposed to be about the issues people!

 

[Betty]

This has become painful.

Just shouting, desperation.

There are TOO MANY CANDIDATES up there.

 

[B-Dubs]

Trump is afraid of going after Rubio and Carson...yeah he's gonna flatline

No way dude, Trump can't die yet! He'll find his second wind, he's got a plan.

 

[erawsd]

Moderators should be able to control volume on the mics. If someone doesnt want to answer a question mute them and move on.

 

[Community Forum]

This is very unorganized.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

Kasich doesn't want to answer this because he knows marijuana's getting legalized next week here. And he doesn't want it.

Its on the ballot in ohio next week? How are the poll numbers?

 

[daycru]

Kasich doesn't want to answer this because he knows marijuana's getting legalized next week here. And he doesn't want it.

The monopoly thing is weird, so I'm not so sure.

Swagger in Europe?

This is the face of socialism people.

 

[Big Baybee]

The moderators should just put their foot down. They are going to complain about the liberal media anyway. Don't let the walk over you.

[Gr1mLock]

My takeaway so far is that pot smoking gays who shop at costco and work at wallstreet are the real problem. Also emails.

 

[Snowman Prophet of Doom]

Kasich is trying, but he's the kind of candidate who is absolutely doomed by having someone like Trump in the race.

 

[params7]

Have the candidates been allowed to ignore the questions like that all night? kasich just did two lines on drugs and then the rest of his answer was completely unrelated.

Kasich set the tone for this debate when he completely ignored the opening question.

 

[Kusagari]

Kasich being given way more speaking time than he deserves given his polling. Bush and Trump will be spitting blood.

They're trying to prop him up like they have Carly.

In his case I doubt it works.

 

[Joe Molotov]

Freeze this debate.

 

[Armaros]

This debate itself is a microcosm of the GOP party, no regulation, even in a debate.

Politifact gave Christie a Pants on Fire for his 90% tax claim

Our ruling

Christie said that Sanders’s plan is "to raise your taxes to 90 percent."

Sanders hasn’t released an official tax plan, either for billionaires or for anyone else. But based on his previous comments and proposals, the tax policies Sanders is advocating are targeted at corporations and affluent Americans.

Sanders has dismissed the notion that he wants to set marginal tax rates for billionaires at 90 percent. And on the whole, his tax proposals so far do not envision raising "your taxes" -- that is, those of ordinary Americans -- to anything approaching 90 percent.

This is a grossly misleading characterization of the extent and scope of Sanders' plan, so we rate Christie’s claim Pants on Fire.

[Chance Hale]

Mods went from calling out canidates for not answering questions in the first thirty minutes to just letting everything descend into madness. Have to protect their jobs I suppose.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

Moderators should be able to control volume on the mics. If someone doesnt want to answer a question mute them and move on.

Lol at the "talent" as they are called being able to work tech.

 

[Slayven]

Only change I expect in the polls is Jeb tailspinning, other then that, same top 3 dumbasses

 

[Sanjuro]

Moderators should be able to control volume on the mics. If someone doesnt want to answer a question mute them and move on.

To be fair, this would be happening on either side. Democrats top two candidates? One is Little Miss Politician and the other is a cranky to the point Jewish guy. That is what made Webb so amazing.

 

[Cyan]

kasich just did two lines...

You're thinking of Jim Cramer.

 

[Josephl64]

I just cannot hear Carson speak without thinking of Pierre Bernard.

Compared to the people up on stage, Pierre probably wouldn't be a bad choice...at least we know for certain we'd have an amazing space program

Spoiler

he will make Stargate real

Swagger in Europe?

Yeah wtf was with that Swagger segment? Fuckin bizarre

Mods are shook.
