Support NeoGAF

[aspiegamer]

Wait. This ad. Said. That. If your child as autism. The GOP is a nice place to go for support.

Fuck. You. Jesus. I take that as a personal insult as someone who Walker has ruined the health care of, and HE used autism as a crutch once, too! Fuuuuuuuck.

 

[Linkyn]

Cruz, Trump, Rubio.. That's the top three tonight.

No kidding. Jeb, Christie and Kasich had only a fraction of their face time, and I bet even Carson has forgotten he's still on stage.

 

[maximum360]

This debate is like a friendly game of spades. Nothing beats Trump.

 

[Tubie]

Cruz clearly fucked up and he knew it.

I love him applauding when he realized where Trump was going.

 

[Makai]

Trump really should have mentioned that all of Fox News is from Manhattan. Like wtf.

 

[Measley]

I hate all of these people except for Kasich, who I only mildly dislike.

Kasich is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

He's Scott Walker levels of bad. He just hides it a lot better than Walker.

 

[Rubenov]

Cruz, Trump, Rubio.. That's the top three tonight.

Just Trump and Cruz. And Kasich but he doesn't count. Rubio is a bullet-point paper reciting machine.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

I don't know how you guys can tolerate that tripe for more than 5 minutes. I can't listen to that GOP bullshit without going into a rage.

It's not easy.

If I weren't at work and on GAF, it wouldn't really be possible.

 

[-x.Red.x-]

I just missed that trump beat down? What did he say/ video?

 

[Muskieratboi]

I think I'm done here.

 

[Manmademan]

Because Ted is precisely as dumb as you think he is.

there's something to this. Ted Cruz comes off as smarter than he actually is- Trump's strategy is exactly the opposite.

Think about this- Everyone thinks Trump is the idiot (well...next to Carson) but NO ONE has managed to score points on the dude. He always has some kind of response that just dismantles all attack.

 

[Ri'Orius]

Yeah, tell SA to knock it off while we keep buying their oil. How about some energy independence?

Yeah, it's weird nobody's been playing the "and let's drill/frack/etc. more oil on our own turf!" line. I can understand why the GOP isn't going to support getting us off oil entirely, but I thought increasing domestic production for national security reasons was one of their go-tos. Guess it's not sexy enough compared to more bombs and whatnot.

 

[Veritigo_X]

Cruz fucked up insulting NYC like that. He should've seen the 9/11 card coming.

 

[Grover]

I hate all of these people except for Kasich, who I only mildly dislike.

ditto

 

[Karsticles]

That was a canned line. I know because he said it almost verbatim yesterday.

I wasn't referring to any line in particular.

 

[Draper]

No kidding. Jeb, Christie and Kasich had only a fraction of their face time, and I bet even Carson has forgotten he's still on stage.

Ha, oh that's good

 

[cameron]

Is Jeb! even here tonight?

Don't mention his name.

 

[Johndoey]

9/11 is perfect because no one has a come back for it.

 

[Toa TAK]

Ted Cruz must have seen the 9/11 response coming. Why didn't he preempt it with something?

Open invitation for Trump to strike back:

 

[kingkitty]

the closest graham ever got to the main debate stage

 

[NihonTiger90]

LINDSEY GRAHAM SIGHTING

 

[Prompto]

Lindsey Graham looks so sad

 

[RustyNails]

goddamit carson lmao

 

[sangreal]

lmao @ graham

 

[Syncytia]

Wait. This ad. Said. That. If your child as autism. The GOP is a nice place to go for support.

Fuck. You. Jesus. I take that as a personal insult as someone who Walker has ruined the health care of, and HE used autism as a crutch once, too! Fuuuuuuuck.

Yeah I also thought it was weird AF.

 

[Frustrated_me]

LMAO!!!

 

[Kal_El]

After every GOP debate I end up scared. The world is apparently terrible.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

Turn up your hearing aid, grampa!

 

[FiggyCal]

Because Ted is precisely as dumb as you think he is.

Haha. Yeah I'm giving him too much credit tonight.

 

[Wiz]

Carson ain't even here bruh.

 

[chadskin]

Don't wake up the Ben

 

[TheAbsolution]

Man, that must be so embarrassing for Lindsey.

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

Trump is always in the ballpark of a decent response but he continually fails to word them effectively.

Yeah, I was waiting for him to wrap up that 9/11 answer with something like "If what I saw from the people of Manhattan after 9/11 is New York values, then I'm proud to have New York values." It never quite coalesced into something that makes a good soundbite, even though that was the spirit of his answer.


Nonetheless, Cruz learned a hard lesson about trying to appeal to the GOP base better than Trump can.

 

[Jarmel]

I love him applauding when he realized where Trump was going.

Man knew he get outplayed by a master.

 

[RoKKeR]

Carson has no fucking idea what he's talking about

 

[HanShotFirst]

who where what i fell asleep

 

[Hopfrog]

Funny how we are ready to go to war over a boat full of sailors returned peacefully yet the people helping create these terrorists get a stern talking to.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Cruz fucked up on that NY discussion. Trump made him look bad.

Also from earlier but I'm sure the surviving victims of the Paris and San Bernardino attacks are pleased to know that Trump has already written them off.

 

[C0unter]

carson just woke up

 

[Tubie]

I love Carson.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Ben Carson not hearing the question correctly is something...? Was he asleep?

 

[Makai]

I wasn't referring to any line in particular.

He said almost the entire thing about New York earlier.

 

[ivysaur12]

Oh my god Carson. Oh my god.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Hahaha, Jesus Carson. Just at least look like you're trying! Holy fuck, man.

 

[GavinGT]

Wake up, buddy.

 

[DJ SLEV3N]

LOL Ben, this guy is so loveable. I could see him drinking with every leader in the world.

 

[Mass Effect]

Ya'll need to realize Kasich is, by and large, as batshit insane as the rest of them. He just hides it better. He has a little bit of decency thrown in, but he's just as dangerous as the rest of them. What he tried to do to unions in Ohio speaks volumes.

Yes, the more I listen to him, the more I realize this.

 

[Gutek]

Hahaha, Carson. You so silly.

 

[SmokeMaxX]

Carson saying "caliphate" must be a free space on the bingo card.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Because there's no defense. He must have known he fucked up the second he said that originally and that there was nothing he could do to stop this.

Assuming he did see it coming, and was thinking strategically, when it comes to a 9/11 card, sometimes it's best just to let it happen. It's risky to push back against it and could very easily back fire.

I think it was pretty easily mitigated just by mentioning it as part of the "hey they're wonderful but" preface. It might make his whole angle of attack a little awkward but it beats getting Ultra Combo'd right in the face.
