I'll watch the Varsity and pass on the JV.

The JV should each drop out.

This race is now between Trump, Cruz, and Rubio.

The Varsity begins at 5:30 pm PST (and Las Vegas), 6:30 pm Mountain, 7:30 Central, and 8:30 Eastern.
 
Sarah Palin sighting. Drink.

This has to be their last chance. Christie used the jv table at the last debate to advance himself.
 
Omg I thought these guys were all dead politically. What the hell are they doing in a debate? Collectively do they hold 1% of the vote in polls?

Graham looks desperate. Can't the guy get a decent job as a lobbyist?

Well if you think about it, there has not been a single primary yet. Iowa and NH actually begin the process.

However due to extensive polling we are already pretty sure who is going to win.

However the game still needs to be played.

Each of them is hoping and praying for a miracle for themselves.

Trump, Cruz, and Rubio have the most to be hopeful about so far.
 
Sleeping sounds a hell of a lot nicer than being in a constant state of fear from Trumps hyperboles.

Actually Trump has become a movie star.

I can hardly wait to hear what he says today.

And since Trump, Cruz, and Rubio are all pro gun, I would be happy with any of the 3 of them for POTUS.
 
Santorum - Islam not protected under the constitution huckabilly agrees. Graham demures good for him.
 
Good question by UF student. No cogent reply from candidates.

Actually, both Santorum and Huckabee said that Islam, as a religion, has first amendment protections. They did, however, make the point that Islam appears to be more than just a religion, but also a form of government and the legal and policy positions of Islam are not protected under the freedom of religion provisions. It's a subtle difference.

Nonsense. Isn't there a Canadian election happening soon near you?
 
Huckabilly, I won't tell the U.S. or our enemy how many troops I'll send to Iraq (again). We need the element of surprise!

Huckabilly we can beat ISIL in 10 days!

This debate is so goddamn entertaining.
 
Poor baby. Toughen up little one because if you make false comments and post nonsense, someone's going to point it out.


Perhaps if I ever do, but it's not going to be by a Canadian. LOL.
 
Graham - we need troops in Lybia too! The Turks are the key! I hate Obama!!

9/11! Syria! We're going to kill them over there!

The guy is just a flat out lunatic reminds me of an unhinged LaRouche or Buchanan.
 
Have to say the CNN moderators have been excellent tonight.
