I actually watched most of the GOP debate last night. It really was an out of control shitshow. The asshole CNBC questioners’ sole purpose was to try and make the candidates look bad with provocative, leading, jerk-off questions. Even the crowd hated their fucking guts. The faux journalists were booed on multiple occasions. Are there no real journalists left? I have neither watched nor heard any of the MSM spin about who won. I checked about 8 on-line polls from both the left and right this morning. And virtually every poll showed Trump with 47% and the rest of the candidates in single digits. The anger against the establishment and their MSM mouthpieces continues to grow.
I thought Carson and Bush were the weakest on the stage. Trump had a few good lines. His “gun free zones” commentary will outrage the libs on the coasts, but just won him millions of votes in the heartland. I thought Rand Paul made the most sense on economics, but it is too little too late for him. Trump currently has a stranglehold on the nomination, unless something dramatic happens.
But there was one moment when the camera was panning to a candidate speaking to the left of Trump. He turned toward the candidate with a look on his face I’d seen before. I couldn’t place it. Then it hit me. He looked exactly like Benito Mussolini. Maybe a little foreshadowing.
Will the buses run on time?
It didn’t end well for Benny!

Trump/Paul 2016!
Fuck the media whores.
As Politico report, CNBC was also the biggest loser…
The CNBC-moderated debate became, at crucial moments, a debate about CNBC, as various candidates and, at times, the audience, turned the tables on the network’s three moderators.
The repeated bursts of anger and anarchy were prompted, in part, by questions from the moderators that veered, at times, beyond sharp into contentiousness. By the end of the first hour, the audience seemed to be siding with the candidates, booing when CNBC’s Carl Quintanilla seemed to play gotcha with Ben Carson about his past work for a questionable company.
…
The pattern was established very early by Donald Trump, spurred by a question about his tax plan from CNBC’s John Harwood that suggested the businessman was running a “comic-book” campaign. Trump angrily proclaimed that the network’s own star host, Larry Kudlow, had praised his tax plan.
Soon after, Texas senator Ted Cruz picked up the cudgel declaring, in response to a question from Quintanilla about raising the debt ceiling, “Let me say something at the outset. The questions that have been asked so far in this debate illustrate why the American people don’t trust the media. This is not a cage match. The questions shouldn’t be getting people to tear into each other.”
Cruz, his voice rising in indignation, cited Harwood’s “comic-book” question to Trump and one from CNBC’s Becky Quick to Carson that declared that his flat-tax plan wouldn’t bring in nearly as much revenue as he claimed. After Cruz waxed on about a double standard between Democratic and Republican debates, Quintanilla seemed visibly irritated, and he and Harwood each refused to give Cruz any extra time to answer the original question.
A few minutes later, they seemed to think better of it and did give Cruz the time. But the spuriousness of the decision left them open to further expressions of outrage by other candidates whenever the moderators tried to cut them off.
The unruly atmosphere was a far cry from what CNBC seemed to want and expect, from a gauzy opening photo montage to a series of promotions emphasizing what Quintanilla, at the outset, called, “CNBC’s top experts in the markets and personal finance” and “the best team in business” journalism.
“The CNBC anchors are just desperately filling airtime with absolute nonsense to kill time,” conservative writer John Tabin tweeted.

Just wait till CNBC tears up the Democrat candidates in a debate.
But it might not be a good idea to hold your breath while waiting.
GOP Debate III Post Mortem: Trump Top, Fiorina Flop, Bush (& CNBC) Biggest Loser
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/28/2015 22:21 -0400
“Debates in Turmoil” would have been an appropriate summary for tonight’s free-for-all CNBC-sponsored screamfest in Boulder, Colorado. Argumentative moderators, mis-stated facts, time complaints, and general whining was everywhere but Trump still managed to come out the other side of this gauntlet unscathed. One major highlight included Santelli and Paul pushing ‘Audit The Fed’, calls for gold-backed currency,and exclaimed that The Fed “has been a great problem” in US society. However, what was odd was the apparent slights to Trump and Carson (questioned less directly) which resulted in an aberrantly low ‘talking time’ for the leading candidates.
Trump seems to be the only candidate of either party who’s not slobbering over the opportunity to go to war with Russia.
I never saw combat, but I saw firsthand the effects of heavy artillery and bombs in Manila (1949) and in South Korea (1954/1955).
I see that look on Hussein whenever he isn’t giving the “I just ate the Cheshire Cat” look.
Even the crowd hated their fucking guts. The faux journalists were booed on multiple occasions.

Interesting. I thought those audiences were preselected and screened to support any narrative the MSM wished to project. This is a bit hopeful.
So we shouldn’t vote for Trump because he reminds you of someone? OK, Hillary it is, asshole!
Rife thinks Trump will save Amurika. Yikes. The stupid – it burns.
Harwood and Becky Quick are vocal lefties. Carl tries to play middle but leans left. Joe Kernan, the only straight shooter of the bunch was left to do after-debate interviews. Fucktards. It’s funny to see numerous Bloomberg proclamations that Cruz and Rubio won. Same kind of spin after the Democrat debate.
I watched the whole thing, from beginning to end.
All the bickering, the candidates mocking CuntNBC, and the people booing them made for pretty good entertainment. Several excellent one-liners.
Trump only got about 9 minutes talking time. He said nothing extraordinary or interesting … just his usual fluff and declarations of making America great ….. details to follow later. I guess.
His “winning” the debate is merely a reflection of something else …. certainly NOT on the quality of his content. Backlash against The Machine makes as much sense as any. He may be reaching the point where he just-can’t -lose, despite all the machinations of the GOP Big Dogs wishing otherwise.
Carson, imho, was the big loser …. only because he’s leading in Iowa and some other polls, and could have used the opportunity of delivering a great debate to pull further ahead. He failed. He was flat, boring, and really, a few of his answers were goofy.
Paul really did give the best and most detailed answers. Honest answers. You can see where that gets you in Amerika today ………
Rife
Are you a moran?
I like the way Cruz reamed ass!
….and Ted Cruz looks like a young Joe McCarthy….
I could vote for a TRUMP /CRUZ ticket even though Cruz has said he favors some legal immigration. I wish they would stop all immigration . Legal and illegal at least for next 20 years.
I like Trump, I did not watch the debate so I can’t comment on who won or lost. I would vote for anyone on that stage save olé Jeb.
It’s far better that we elect Il Duce Trump than Hitlery Clinton. It’s not even a close choice in my book.
The Donald might actually try to fix some of what’s wrong with this country, though I’m exceedingly skeptical that the country can be fixed.
On the other hand, Hitlery is an ironclad guarantee that we get more of the same depressing entitlement/surveillance/war state while Wall Street continues to pick our bones clean. That is, of course, unless the Hildebeest starts WW-III and blows us all to kingdom come.
Mussolini? Come on, jim, you sure it’s not hitler? Squint really hard
The best candidate is one that none of you mentioned, and that’s Bernie Sanders.
Somebody tell Bush to climb back into his rathole. What the fuck doesn’t that guy get about nobody wants him? Go Bernie!
tell me thats not the donald
