"Maybe he supports Clinton." Paul bringing up the conspiracy theories already.

O'Rielly was right about Paul going after Trump. It already happened! Ha! This is great.

Okay, but what's his credentials regarding things like law and economic policy. Oh, he "has a brain" I guess that qualifies him.

Weird seeing Fox presenters asking Republicans real questions! Don't think I've seen that before. Shocked

I love how personal and combative these opening questions are. I'm impressed as well.

Trump doesn't understand the difference between political correctness and being a dick.

by Eldorion Fri Aug 07, 2015 2:13 am

Yeah the moderators are doing a good job.

Trump ... lol

by Pettytyrant101 Fri Aug 07, 2015 2:14 am

Bad stuff Trump. Never good to go after the person asking the question. And he tried to shift it from the topic of his views on women to other things. Poor stuff. Obvious and clumsy by politician standards.

Mods are really taking these guys to task, makes the JV debate look really relaxed in retrospect.

It's a damn shame Jon Stewart is ending his run just when Fox News is redeeming itself. I wonder if this is coincidence?

Huckabee: "the next President should pull a Jackson and overrule the Supreme Court because that's totally something that can be done."

by Pettytyrant101 Fri Aug 07, 2015 2:20 am

I assume Huckabee thinks God will do it.

He wears his religion on his sleeve even by GOP standards but Kasich is staking out the centrist sanity territory for himself.

by Pettytyrant101 Fri Aug 07, 2015 2:23 am

Was just thinking that myself Eldo- most rational so far.

by bungobaggins Fri Aug 07, 2015 2:27 am

Trump just took it up the ass.

by Pettytyrant101 Fri Aug 07, 2015 2:28 am

Trump just sounds like a bully and someone who is used to getting their way by being domineering and slightly threatening. None of which are appealing in a politician which is why the good ones hide it. He also sounds like a ranting nutter who got his information from a man in a pub.

by bungobaggins Fri Aug 07, 2015 2:29 am

Won't be at all surprised if he falls in the polls now, as he looks even more like a clown on that stage next to the real politicians.

by Eldorion Fri Aug 07, 2015 2:29 am

It felt like he was having trouble speaking in complete sentences.

I kinda want to see Bridge of Spies now...

Much as he complains about journalists mangling his words, I think that their paraphrases make him look a lot better if this is what he's like live.

by bungobaggins Fri Aug 07, 2015 2:30 am

Yeah, I want to see that too. Looks good; gotta love Tom Hanks.

Man, almost 40 minutes before a real shouting match. Not surprised Christie was involved in it.

by Eldorion Fri Aug 07, 2015 2:39 am

ooooooooooooooooooooh Paul went there

by bungobaggins Fri Aug 07, 2015 2:39 am

Oh, god. Christie pulling a Guilliani.
