The 12th Republican Presidential Debate 2016 by CNN/Salem/Washington Times [March 10] [8:30pm EST]

[GearSolidMetal]

Even if Rubio wins Florida at this point his "electability" platform is gone. He's in it as a Trump saboteur from here on out.

Probably a Cruz saboteur, if he stays in after Florida.

They are going to screw you and me over when we get old

do not rely on Social Security being enough to keep you afloat when you retire. You need to start investing yourself right now

Ive been a Trump supporter since he talked about running last election cycle but the dude is so frustrating.
This is the 10th odd debate, with all repetitive questions and the dude still has nothing to say. You would think he would at the very least study for an hour a day to learn some of the issues. This is his election to lose...he should have a team of experts holding classes in all the topics he is likely to be asked about.

There are so many simple rebuttals to these attacks from cruz and little marco...im yelling them at the screen but all he says is derp china...derp trade deals.

I mean everybody talks how cunning and sly he is yet he doesn't realize he needs to build his coalition with those who actually prefer substance. Imagine if studied his ass off and started dropping knowledge in a debate...itd be like the movie old school where will Ferrell wins the debate competition. Instead its derp derp derp.

So you're a Trump supporter who acknowledges that he doesn't know anything? Lmao.

Yes.

Im also of the belief that it was never a lack of knowledge that's led to our downfall. It was a lack of integrity, honesty, and the ulterior motives of corrupt politicians.

If trump can surround himself with experts, listen, delegate, and hold people responsible for results, he can be a great president. But debates are part of the process to get there. If hes too lazy to learn enough to play the game than i seriously doubt his commitment.

Fair enough.

 

[Sasquatch Smith]

I laughed out loud when a couple of the analysts claimed that "even Trump was substantive tonight" while watching some of the post debate talk.

He absolutely was NOT. He was as vague and awful as ever except he didn't attack quite as much. Everything was "tremendous great outstanding unlike anything I have ever seen deal deal deal deal" as usual.

All his rambling about how all Muslims hate America and how "there's a lot of hate, it's a problem that needs to be solved" without even a slight hint about how he plans to solve this problem. Scary.

Yeah man. Donald fucking TRUMP is a pillar of honesty and integrity.

 

[Diamond Jim]

News today is saying Little Marco's campaign is telling supporters in Ohio to vote Kasich.

 

[kahiljabroni]

Yeah man. Donald fucking TRUMP is a pillar of honesty and integrity.

Of the 3 items i listed you left out the most critical...ulterior motives. As long as hes honest about his motives im taking my chances with him.

 

[Sasquatch Smith]

Which motives are you talking about? Making america great again? How specific.

Nah. He just wants power and to improve the Trump brand for future generations.

To use the ever-decreasing leverage we have to improve and strengthen our economy and middle class.

 

[kahiljabroni]

Im also a big cruz and even kasich fan for different reasons...basically anybody but little marco.

He's derping because he knows that his average voter cant't comprehend anything more complicated than a double-derp. A triple-derp? f'gitaboudit. My guess is he'll drop some knowledge when/if he faces Shillary, dude can obviously drop some knowledge, I mean... How could he have had a prolific business career if he didn't have the acumen for at least some knowledge-dropping?

 

[ShadowRun]

I say this all the time. That is all he says. He reminds me of the guy quoting Vickers in Good Will Hunting, that Matt Damon eviscerates. That is Trump, he never answers policy and just uses word salad to answer questions. It is amazing people buy his bullshit.

Hope and change

 

[Gervinho]

Yes.

So the guy that is gonna bring back integrity and honesty is the guy who openly says he used to buy politicians and contribute to the system becoming corrupt? The guy who was a left winger only few years ago and now has made 180 turn in his political belief?

 

[Ayin]

But at least he's HONEST about it!

 

[Joe]

trump has very little to do with buildings that bare his name. he just attaches his name to them and people think oh, trump! he must have built this thing! thats how how he makes his money, off his name. iam interested to see how he claims businesses will love him and force them to bring back jobs to america. will he force his own business to manufacture his clothes in american instead of mexico and china??

I don't get why people keep saying that. Its like when a girl with a boyfriend bangs a stranger and the boyfriend wants to blame and beat up the stranger. The stranger did what he was supposed to do...a hot girl came on to him and he banged her. Its the girlfriends job to be loyal and faithful...she is solely to blame.
Same thing with our politicians. They create the laws. They have the sole ability to take money out of politics but choose not to. They also swore their allegiance to the citizens who elected them...not donors and special interests.
Donald did what he was supposed to do as a businessman. He played within the framework set up by the whore politicians he bought.

And i think most people realize he is not a true conservative. He is a populist and nationalist.

So people dont have moral obligations? You gotta do what you gotta do. But this leads to the question, why believe Trump believes in anything he says or will do anything he says he will do. He is doing what any politicians would do and thats to get elected. He is playing within the framework of what politics is all about
