[Strike]

Very vocal minority responding to Rand's answer.

 

[StoveOven]

Rand has always been great on that front. It was even a major part of his announcement speech

 

[David Incorporated Esq.]

This is Rand's thing, and he's right on it.

Unfortunately he's wrong on just about everything else.

 

[kingkitty]

alright, now it's time for other candidates to give their thoughts on this important issue. no? oh ok.

 

[Grover]

Did they just acknowledge there's problem? That's better than nothing I guess...

this really gets me excited for republican debates in 20 years, they might really start caring by then

 

[A Human Becoming]

Rand Paul gave an excellent response to that police question. He can be the voice of reason.

 

[kcp12304]

Too bad that answer won't penetrate the minds in that room.

 

[Einchy]

That got a huge cheer.

I'm so confused, these are the same people that if Trump was up there and totally dismissed the question they would have cheered as well.

 

[Kyosaiga]

I wish they could've asked that question to everyone else.

 

[davepoobond]

Rand Paul is really the most sane guy up there taken as a whole.

 

[Betty]

Rand winning this debate and that's hilarious.

Right? Like what the hell.

 

[harSon]

Rand gave a more inspired and intellectual reponse on the subject than any of the democratic candidates lmao

 

[Paskil]

Man I wanted to hear everyone else's view on that question! Would have been amazing.

Just don't resist and you'll be fine. Also, bootstraps.

 

[D i Z]

Rand giving the answer that Republicans don't want to hear.

 

[kcp12304]

That got a huge cheer.

I'm so confused, these are the same people that if Trump was up there and totally dismissed the question they would have cheered as well.

Rand Paul has a small bunch of groupies that scream after all his answers in each debate.

 

[royalan]

Thank god they didn't ask Christie this question.

I was HOPING they'd ask Christie this question!

 

[Angelus Errare]

Rand's numbers dropped.

 

[zoozilla]

Rand's a classic libertarian - that means he overlaps with liberals on social and military issues, and he overlaps with conservatives on economic issues and stuff like guns.

To his credit, he's always been incredible consistent in his adherence to the libertarian ethos.

 

[Slayven]

Damn I missed a Ferguson question?

Damn my channel surfing

 

[FutureZombie]

If you go back and watch the debates from 2012, Ron Paul dominated as well. The crowd loved him. I think the reason that doesn't turn into more voters is that the media intentionally do not cover them enough.

 

[Rebel Leader]

and we're back

Damn I missed a Ferguson question?

Damn my channel surfing

and only 1 person answered it

 

[Sagroth]

Can anyone give me a brief notion of what happened with Cruz? Did he seriously almost walk out?

 

[EatinOlives]

I was HOPING they'd ask Christie this question!

I mean he was just gonna dogwhistle racist shit, would've only made me mad

 

[Resident_UA]

That got a huge cheer.

I'm so confused, these are the same people that if Trump was up there and totally dismissed the question they would have cheered as well.

It was clearly just Rand's supporters. It was loud but came from few people.

To his credit, he's always been incredible consistent in his adherence to the libertarian ethos.

And like with most modern libertarians, their devotion to money outweighs their devotion to social change.

 

[Brinbe]

LOL CHRISTIE.

 

[harSon]

oh my god shut the fuck up

 

[Paskil]

Planned Parenthood. Drink!

 

[Rebel Leader]

and planned parenthood =/

 

[Slayven]

and we're back





and only 1 person answered it

Lets be honest, that is 1 more than we were expecting

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Fuck you Christie

 

[Kyosaiga]

biggest job killer? What??????

 

[harSon]

What the fuck is up with these Fox moderators? They sound sane...

 

[Rubenov]

Cruz what a bunch of bullshit!

 

[ibyea]

They keep saying Obamacare is a disaster...

 

[Paskil]

What the fuck is up with these Fox moderators? They sound sane...

The questions are there. The answers aren't.

 

[LittleBoots]

Cruz has such a punchable face.

 

[Resident_UA]

Killing Obamacare isn't getting a huge clap anymore. I guess that's also progress...

 

[kingkitty]

repeal every word of obamacare

every word

sorry babies with preexisting conditions

 

[Rebel Leader]

Ted I have a better idea.

single payer

Ted Cruz is right about disconnecting health care from employment at least

so... single payer?

 

[soul creator]

Ted Cruz is right about disconnecting health care from employment at least

 

[kirblar]

They keep saying Obama is a disaster...

Obama currently has his highest approval rating since June 2013.

He also has the highest floor of any recent president.

 

[Rubenov]

They keep saying Obama is a disaster...

That's politics for you, and why you have to be a very "special" person to be a politician. The other guy could've been Jesus incarnated, but if he's from the other party he will always be the "worst ever"

 

[ibyea]

Obama currently has his highest approval rating since June 2013.

He also has the highest floor of any recent president.

I meant Obamacare but yeah that too.

 

[A Human Becoming]

Moderators calling out Republicans for wanting to kill Obamacare that will lose millions of people healthcare. Good work.

Than Cruz says he'll cut everything, including preventing insurance companies from denying coverage due to preexisting conditions.

 

[Resident_UA]

Wait, what's Ted's plan? How can you have health insurance without a job? It's almost 10 thousand dollars a year...

EDIT: Unless you subsidize it of course, which turns into Obamacare...

 

[kirblar]

Ted Cruz is right about disconnecting health care from employment at least

Which of course, Obamacare is designed to be a first step towards doing.

 

[danm999]

free market free market

 

[sssstententen]

Wait, what's Ted's plan? How can you have health insurance without a job? It's almost 10 thousand dollars a year...

Because if we privatize healthcare again it'll suddenly drop to astronomically low levels, like magic!

 

[crisdecuba]

Quick question: Ted Cruz just mentioned decoupling health insurance from employment. Would that essentially mean that everyone would need to purchase insurance separately?
