GET OFF MY PLANE

Trump has thinner skin than Nixon--it's amazing.

did fiorina just challenge russia to war?

Fiorina would begin the missile program in Poland, send a few thousand troops in Germany, and restart the Cold War because Vladimir Putin is a bad guy. Here's the core of the GOP, a host gripped by nostalgia for mutually assured destruction. For good measure, arm the Kurds too! She did her homework, dropping the right names and countries.

I'm not watching the debate, but I am keeping a close eye on the screengrabs.

Kind of funny watching Kasich trying to respond like a grownup to Cruz's demagoguery on the Iran agreement.

There's not gonna be a single question on climate change is there

There's been several: we're going to tear up the Iran deal, therefore armaggeddon

sorry, better version

wow they are fired up about defunding health care for women

Man they really love their gruesome abortion stories

Uh oh FACEOFF

wow, fiorna maybe the first people to get the best of trump on stage?

wow, it's gonna come down to a choice between businesspeople, isn't it

I was in the middle of asking why, in response to Trump's professed veneration for women, no one has brought up the RS interview. So someone did. Fiorina handled it well, Trump looked ridiculous (same look as when Obama joked about him at that dinner).

i keep expecting jeb to walk offstage and come back with a coffee for trump

"please don't dunk on me so hard, mr. trump", said jeb

Yeah trump got sonned there

in terms of debate game so far, fiorina's the most skillful

I really wish someone would secure the border, for the sole reason that I'd never have to hear the words "secure the border" for the rest of my lifetime.

...did carson and trump realize that they could team up right now and have >50% of republicans?

this has jumped back into reality tv

it is time for an alliance

it seriously seems like it's just trump, carson, fiorina. everyone else on stage looks ridiculous and keeps getting hardsonned.

Fiorina's been the most vehement about enunciating the batshit Cold War rhetoric that these men have forgotten.

for real. she's like an 80s action figure

watching trump do his thing here is like watching early brando amongst old stiff classical actors

Donald Trump is a big baby, where can we send him?

I just noticed - is there a big plane parked behind everyone? Or is this debate on a tarmac?

Why does Trump get his own split screen?

can we get the plane to slowly move

They should have the next debate on a plane. This plane:

All ego aside, how often does Trump freely submit himself to people calling him out?

christie was just kind of leaning on the lectern, watching tv, i mean the debate he's in

carly fiorina though

def can tell how much practice she must have had in her career at dealing with many, many guys like trump

and still being a terrible CEO

Christie kinda pwnd em there

Gonna take a drink everytime I hear "...the only person on this stage..."

Huckabee: "I'm the only person on this stage tonight who nobody's paying the least bit of attention to."

Pretty sure most of these guys think they're the only person on stage.

i am the one person this stage tonight

*intense stare*

What the fuckabee is that loser doing on stage?

How did they fit a plane in the Reagan library? That's some voodoo architecture.

i like how everyone is taking a moment to deliver a quick thinkpiece

"think"

Carson, forgot about him, too! This is great, like one of those Hollywood sequels that fits in every last minor fan service character. Or, like, a Republican pu pu platter.

almost everyone is doing that ('lets take a step back jake and think about what this debate is really about') except for trump/carson/fiorina. it's like the rest of them are devolving into eyewitnesses with video blogs

I'd never have to hear the words "secure the border" for the rest of my lifetime.

not following US poli-circuses would also work for you here
