**Official CNN Republican Debate Thread**

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

It will be interesting to see if it's another pro-establishment crowd.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

A few things from CNN pre-debate....

-Establishment wants to take down Trump
-Cruz has had it with Trump calling him a liar
-Rubio campaign is preparing for a contested/brokered convention to stop Trump AND Cruz

It looks like this will be the anti-Trump debate. Will it hurt him or just solidify the Trump base even more.

LET'S GET READY TO RUUUUUMMMMBLLE!!!!!!

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Why do I think this debate is going to be an embarrassment just like the last debate

LET'S GET READY TO RUUUUUMMMMBLLE!!!!!!

Fitting

 

[The Tradition]

Great, they have a Latina moderator from the Spanish channel.

Does Trump punch her in the face?

Why do I think this debate is going to be an embarrassment just like the last debate

Cause they all have been?

Deana Carter doing the national anthem

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

I wonder if Rubio is going to tell the same story during his introduction?

Rubio mentions Reagan/Bush then takes a shot at Trump with the "are we a party of anger"....

 

[Funky Bunch]

Ironically, Duke is on ESPN right now

 

[MidMOhawk]

Trump rambles even in opening remarks. He's one buzz word after another.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

Who?

 

[Funky Bunch]

Did Rubio just lose a tooth?

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Rubio going on the Trump attack right at the beginning

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Rubio seems nervous to get Trump fired up. He is going after him, but he seems nervous when Trump is about to speak back to him.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

Rubio needs to just go away he's like an annoying fly

 

[MidMOhawk]

How long before Carson complains about speaking time?

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

It's obvious Rubio and Cruz are on their heels

 

[Funky Bunch]

kasich and carson should suspend during the first commercial break

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

This is a three man debate

 

[The Tradition]

It's pretty much just mud-slinging at this point.

 

[Funky Bunch]

Love when Cruz gives this face

 

[MitchL]

BAU

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

So we are 10-15 minutes in and we finally hear from somebody other than Rubio, Trump, or Cruz.

 

[Pepperman]

CNN is happy because this is a train wreck. Not at all productive.

 

[BrianNole09]

Did Donald Trump just say that the Great Wall of China is 13,000 miles? Anyone hear that?

It's under 6,000 miles in reality.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Rubio is concerned about immigrants from Poland all of a sudden.

 

[MidMOhawk]

Wolf has lost control of this circus.

 

[The Tradition]

Trump simply dominates the room and the conversation. He was born to do this.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

This is just a personal insult fest....what a joke

 

[ANYCHawk]

Trump and his wall....

 

[Pepperman]

CNN should be embarrassed. They've lost control and look quite silly.

[unIowa]

There is more offense in this than Iowa put up last night against Wisco. Must see TV.

Also, i really hate Mario...he is nothing more than a soundbite politician.

 

[unIowa]

Trump and his wall....

When he tied it to the trade deficit he picked up votes.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

CNN should be embarrassed. They've lost control and look quite silly.

They are asking questions to specifically bring confrontation with the insults that have been tossed around. This is one of the ugliest presidential races in a long time.

 

[BrianNole09]

Trump simply dominates the room and the conversation. He was born to do this.

Nah, Trump just lies and makes stuff up. He DID hire illegals from Poland.

I'm laughing so hard. This is SO Jerry Springer.

Quote of the year: Rubio: IF Trump didn't inherit $200 million, he'd be selling watches in Manhattan. LOL.

 

[Pepperman]

Well, to be fair of the three remaining candidates they all want to win. It isn't like Bernie letting Hillary off the hook.

Stupid is as stupid does.
