Highlights From the First Republican Debate Night
Trump Won't Promise Not to Run as an Independent
In the very first question of the night, Bret Baier asked the debaters for a show of hands from anyone who refused to pledge not to run as an independent against the eventual Republican nominee; a third-party candidate might split the conservative vote and hand the election to Clinton, said Baier. Only one candidate raised his hand.
Granted, Trump didn't say he wants to run independently; he just really wants to be president. But his response to question immediately made clear that in this debate, as on the campaign trail, he would be the belligerent center of attention. Despite audible boos in the arena, Trump fans were giddy with excitement:
Trump Is Terrible to Women
Host Megyn Kelly asked Trump about his previous insults of women. "You've called women you don't like fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals." Trump cut her off to say "Only Rosie O'Donnell."
Rosie was not amused.
Trump went on to lecture about how political correctness is our country's greatest problem, and ended by saying that at least he hasn't been as mean to Kelly as she maybe deserves.
There was applause from the audience. When the New Republic's Elspeth Reeve talked to Trump supporters last month, "many said this was the one thing they loved most about Trump, that he's not afraid to offend (people they don't like)." As Jeet Heer noted in the New Republic live blog, "He's not answering the questions, he's being rude. But the audience is eating it up."

Maybe they’re not radical for discussing policies largely in effect in other countries throughout the world. Maybe you’re just slow.


If all other developed countries support government health care and most Americans do as well, who is the radical?

I only care about one country, the rest have no affect on me. You don't think abortions for men is radical? You don't think free health insurance for illegals is radical? You don't think free college is radical? You don't think 70% tax on the rich is radical?

Considering the current status of many Ivy leagues, Rice is more Ivy than they are anymore. Great education. Having him close is just a bonus.

True. I tend to think of Rice as the MIT of the South. Rice is great in the STEM fields and I was hoping he would major in chemical engineering (like Dad) but he is more into computer science. Anyway, he’s only 1 year in, so time will tell what he does with it. Still some chance he’ll get involved in my business but maybe not if he has to work like I do...

I find it odd women cry for equality but insult them as you would a man and they get the vapors.

Chief?
Someone called me Bruh a few posts earlier.
I have identified some common characteristics among users of silly nicknames.

I love calling people chief. It catches them off guard.

I also wouldn't call you moderately left, luth. You're well entrenched. But that's ok. I accept you.

This can be simply handled by the IRS. Last line of the return, "additional amount paid for illegal immigrant healthcare" and let each taxpayer add what they think is their fair share of tax for this purpose. Then use the collected funds for that purpose.

If they (government) would use our tax money for only the purpose it's collected for. But no, they spend all the tax money in all the different places except where it's suppose to actually go. You know some of the millions of dollars collected goes to study why a shrimp runs on a treadmill and other stupid stuff.

Learn what? How is someone with a poor grasp of facts going to dominate anyone? How about you come up with an actual argument other than “but 2016!!!!!”?

But Mexico, North Korea, etc. He has as poor of a grasp on facts as every single clown on that stage the last two nights. The guy is smart. He is coordinated. Something I didnt think I would say in 2016. He knows how to get adversary's out of their comfort zone and cave. Some people have the personality for that, some dont.

Where did anyone say free healthcare? The question was about prospective healthcare plans and coverage.

All of the candidates — including former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Kamala Harris and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg — raised their hands when asked by an NBC moderator if they would support a health care plan that would cover undocumented immigrants.

This quote perfectly summarizes the Redhatters.

"He's not answering the questions, he's being rude. But the audience is eating it up."

They view that kind of behavior as dominating a debate. Name calling and rudeness is what they find impressive.

They just want someone to “own the libs.”

It’s why they frequently throw out words like “loony” or “radical” to discuss things that objectively make sense and are in widespread use throughout the world. If reality isn't on their side, then reality is the problem and they won’t abide by its rules. They’re more than happy to let the country suffer for it.

Did you watch last night? That's literally every debate. Most of it is grandstanding and deflection. Occasionally you get meaningful information

The question wasn't specifically about "free" healthcare. Maybe that's what they all meant., but asking if their proposals would include coverage for undocumented immigrants, doesn't necessarily equate to free.

I'm sure it will be the hot topic of the future debates, though.

I didn't notice any juvenile and moronic name calling. I didn't notice overt and intentional rudeness.
