Nine Republican presidential candidates took the main stage Tuesday night for a debate that focused almost exclusively on foreign policy.
And with just weeks until the Iowa caucuses, billionaire Donald Trump was able to avoid any major missteps that would harm his campaign.
The gathering of White House hopefuls in Las Vegas shaped up as a pair of mini-match-ups: One debate unfolded between the 44-year-old senators, Ted Cruz of Texas and Marco Rubio of Florida.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush went hard after Trump, who seemed to cruise past the attacks and delivered some biting one liners of his own.
In one important development, Trump promised anew he’d stick with the GOP. He said he’ll pass on running as a third-party or independent candidate.
Vote and tell us who you think emerged as last night’s winner:
The Associated Press contributed to this article
Trump and Bush looked like two children. I am for Trump but this was nonsense and really petty. Bush too. Two kids. NOT good for Trump to being sneering at Bush. It belittles a true MAN!
NO, YOU ARE NOT CORRECT! I HAVE BEEN IN A PLACE LIKE DONALD TRUMP. I DID NOT DEFEND MYSELF AND I HAVE SUFFERED FOR THE WORDS AND DEEDS DONE TO ME. THE SCRIPTURES DO NOT TELL A PERSON TO TURN THE OTHER CHEEK TO BE SLAPPED AGAIN. IN THE MIDDLE EAST TRANSLATION OF THE SCRIPTURES, “TURN THE OTHER CHEEK” MEANS TO DEFEND YOURSELF AND WALK AWAY. NOT BECOME A DOOR MAT FOR THE VERBAL OR PHYSICAL ABUSE. IF GOD MEANT THAT, HE WOULD NOT HAVE EMPOWERED “DAVID TO BE ABLE TO KILL THE GIANT WITH A SLINGSHOT”. THINK LOGICAL ….PLEASE APOLOGIZE FOR YOUR WORDS. DONALD TRUMP NEEDS YOUR VOTE. HE DOESN’T NEED YOU OR ME. WE NEED HIM! HIS WORK IS A LABOR OF LOVE FOR AMERICA AND AMERICAN PEOPLE. I HOPE I HAVE SHARED SOME INSIGHT FOR YOU.
You go Girl. You are correct in all you have stated. Was glad to hear Trump will stay with his party and not jump ship, that would surely hurt us at the poles. I think the RNC & GOP both do not want Trump to win. Rc
Hi Patti, I truly wish that you were correct. It seems that you realize that politics have to be shaken up, or change. Dr. Carson’s intentions are good and I admire him very much . The problem for me is that he is being financially backed by at least one, probably more large donors. If he were to win the Presidency , he would be beholden to his donors. Surely, they would expect something in return for their millions. As honest as Dr. Carson is, he would have to do something for these donors. Nobody contributes millions and expects nothing in return. There is only one candidate that will not accept money from large donors when there strings attached. I also believe that being a Seventh Day Adventest would make Dr. Carson unable to garner some people’s votes . Especially in the general election. That’s wrong, it’s but true. Dr .Carson’s church is viewed by many as a cult. That’s not true, but it’s the perception of many. I honestly don’t think he can win the big prize. Donald Trump is far from a perfect candidate, but he is not taking large donations from people that have their own agenda, and who would expect a return for their donations. I think a lot of Donald’s bluster and outrageous remarks are only to keep himself in the news as the top story every day. He is so smart. He’s playing the media like no one I’ve ever seen, and getting massive publicity for free. He’s the top story almost every day and night without spending anything. I also believe that he is a good man, and that he truly wants what’s best for our country. I also think that he’s not a bigot or racist. His statements are very well thought out, and never something that he just thought of and blurted out, even though it may seem that way. He may be the smartest person to ever enter politics, and his intentions are good for our country. He does have quite an ego, but everyone in politics has a big ego, or they would be doing something else with their lives. I will vote for Mr. Trump because I believe in his motives, and I believe he can and will win the Presidency. A chance like this has never come along in all of my 65 years, and it’ll never happen again in my lifetime or yours . Please consider what I’ve said here. I’m not a party voter, and I have always had to vote for the least undesirable candidate until now. Mr. Trump had his life made . He is risking everything for the good of our country. I’ve never seen this happen before, and I’m willing to get behind him and vote for him because no other candidate can or will do what’s right for every citizen of America to the very best of their abilities. Thanks Patti, for listening. You’re a real American, and your intentions are good, and real, and I truly wish Dr. Carson was the right candidate. I’m sure you’ll do what’s right, no matter what you do. Bless You!
And I think the GOP needs to get on board with Trump. It is obvious to anyone but a brain-damaged Libtard that Trump can & will beat anyone on the GOP or Democrat ticket.
TRUMP 20116
No the RNC and GOP do NOT want Trump to win, but if the people in MARCH vote him over 51% in the Deligate Vote, then they HAVE to back Trump. They KNOW those who vote for him will destroy the party if they try anything else. Talk of a Brokerage is a bit scary for them to mention but in a way they are (hopefully only..) looking ahead in the case of a 3 way tie meaning that none had the 51%.. They can vote a couple time.s IF noone stands out and gets the 51%, then this gives the GOP and RNC the right to call who they feel is best. I see the reasoning for this as we do have so many still in the running. WHY if one is in single digits won’t they stop hurting the party and allow us to see how their votes would lay out for the front runners? They need to drop out for the good of the party and to allow the voters more time to decide who they will chose.
On the other hand, maybe it will still be best to allow them in as Trump would surely win. TRUMP and CRUZ a GREAT TEAM! Right now we need a bulldog at the helm,,and Cruz with all his know how on the laws. This would give Cruz time to learn the ins and outs to be a president so then he would be next in line! Hillary would be in Prison (GOSH I HOPE) and couldn’t happen any faster! I am hoping charges against her start ASAP before summer 2016! The Dems would be scrambling to get someone in for their party! Heard Will Smith was talking of getting in on running for prez too..OH NO>>NOT AN INTERTAINER! Isn’t that what they all say about Trump?
I agree – Trump/Cruz – that’s the winning ticket! They complement each other so well.
The RNC and the GOP are one of the same.
AMEN TO CHRISTINA
I think that Trump is tired of people accusing him of things he does not mean. I still stand by him since he is the best we got.
I agree…2 boys fighting on the playground….do really want this in our White House OR negotiating with foreign countries?? NO..
Ben Carson is a thinking mans candidate with REAL life success and experience! He is being shunned by the media for the most part-because he is a true Statesman. He is a man of calm, intelligence-and not a loud talking head reality show performer like TRUMP who says stuff for reaction- and has no depth , no intellect, and definitely not someone who can seriously deal with these critical times. America must wake up! Stop listening to the noise and being distracted by the medias freak show antics! We are headed into WWIII Carson and Fiorina are the only ones who will end politics as usual and are the only true conservatives in the line-up!!!
I agree…
I disagree. Carson and Fiorina could never hold up against Evil Hellary. We need a stronger person to stand up to that disgrace to women. She is in bed with the Saudis and already has a top aide with the name of ‘Huma’ who is trying to buy Syrian refugee/terrorists votes. I really don’t want to walk around wearing a burka for the next four years.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU HAVE SAID IT WELL. WE MUST PRAY THAT ALL EVIL IS REMOVED AND TAKE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION TO GET THE EVIL OFF THE WORLD PLATFORM. WE DO KNOW THAT ‘EVIL’ WILL DESTROY ITSELF IN TIME. WE JUST PRAY AND HOPE THAT THIS IS THE PRESENT TIME! KEEP TEACHING, POSTING AND TELLING PEOPLE THIS TRUTH. THE LORD ETERNAL CREATOR BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY.
Oh, stop shouting!
MAYBE SHE IS NOT SHOUTING DUMMY! I CAN ONLY TYPE WITH THE LARGE
TYPE PRINT BECAUSE MY COMPUTER IS CHEAP & WON’T CHANGE SIZE.
SORRY IF THAT UPSETS YOU. OH PERFECT ONE !!!!!
I agree wholeheartedly! Carson reminds me of the old adage, “Speak softly and carry a big stick” This is the man that can do just that and is really what we need. He will not back down on his principles.
where is Ben’s big stick? I don’t see any plan, I don’t hear tough talk. He is not a TR or a Patton.
YOU ARE NOT EVALUATING THE SITUATION FAIRLY OR HONESTLY. YOU ARE BIASED! DR BEN CARSON IS A VERY EXCELLENT PHYSICIAN. HAVING BEEN ENGAGED TO A PHYSICIAN, THEY CANNOT FOCUS ON THE WORLD AND EVEN TAKE CARE OF THEIR FINANCES. I WAS ENGAGED TO A WONDERFULLY SUCCESSFUL PHYSICIAN. WHEN I WENT TO WORK FOR HIM HE WAS MAKING $500K A YEAR, AND AFTER ONE YEAR WITH HIM, HE WAS EARNING $1 MILLION A YEAR. THEN HE GOT SICK AND DIED. BUT NEVERTHELESS, I KNOW THE THINKING OF PHYSICIANS AND HEALTH CARE WORKERS. IT DOES NOT CONTAIN THE FIGHT AND WORLD KNOWLEDGE THAT IS NEEDED TO MANAGE THE WORLD. DR. BEN CARSON WILL BE AN EXCELLENT SURGEON GENERAL. THAT IS HIS PLACE IN THIS ELECTION.
I agree–I think Carson would make a GREAT Surgeon General but I think he would make a lousy President. Doctors are good at some things, but not good at others. Carson would be terribly ineffective as a politico (think Jimmy Carter–and Carter even had experience as Governor of Georgia). A lovely man but would be VERY misplaced as President–not that I think he would get there anyway. I’m also concerned about some of his associations (Louis Farrakhan??).
For a President, the campaign never ends–throughout his tenure in office. And Carson is a lousy campaigner. Marco Rubio is, by far, the best campaigner in the bunch–although, he has been somewhat low key so far. He may be concerned that if he campaigns too hard right now that he won’t have anything left for the General Election (and he probably also doesn’t want to get much caught up in the infighting of the debates—if he gets the nomination, he’s going to have to unify the party for the fall election).
I like Cruz but can’t vote for him now I sorry to say he and Rubio threw a red flag, first Cruz emailed me asking for a donation of 25 50 150 500. Any one of this amount that I can donate he has big money men to double my amount here we go again getting in bed with big money, as we all know big money people do not give because they have big hearts. We have had to many past presidents get bed . for Rubio I checked his back ground and this what I found, he was Baptized a catholic then he was Baptized MORMAN which he was president of the Nevada youth movement for recruiting youths for the MORMAN faith then when he ran for state senate in Florida he changed back to catholic now running for president he changed his faith to Evangelist southern Baptist. Thats why he avoids talking about his faith. Seem which way the wind blows Rubio goes.so I’m out shopping what I’m looking for is a candidate that will not have to give our tax money for favors just a person that has common sense.
Any one of the three-outsiders will change government for the better. The one that will change it the most for the betterment of the People I think will be Trump. Rc
My response to you is awaiting approval, I don’t see any reason they wouldn’t approve it. It’s complementary. I hope you get to read it.
CARSON IS A NICE GUY, BUT NOT PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL.
I can’t get past his stand on Illegal Aliens. Trump is correct. Build the wall. Deport. ENFORCE OUR LAWS!
Looks like Obama is hurrying fast to get the illegals all in as NEW US Citizens..he just welcomed more! Soooo how many has he “welcomed” at the ceremonies now? Has the Media been saying much on this? not enough is being told on this that I can see!
December 16, 2015
HERE IS THE LINE UP FOR THE OVAL OFFICE 2016: I DECLARE AND DECREE THAT DONALD J TRUMP IS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 2016, THAT TED CRUZ IS THE VICE PRESIDENT, CARLY FIORINA IS THE SECRETARY DR. BEN CARSON, THE SURGEON GENERAL AND MARCO RUBIO THE HOUSE SPEAKER. HOPEFULLY PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL THEN SEE THAT I WORKED VERY HARD FOR HIM VIA TECHNOLOGY AND PERSONALLY AND GIVE ME A JOB.(SMILE, BUT I DO NEED A JOB AND I HAVE A BACKGROUND)
I strongly suggest that you read the Wikipedia section on Carly Fiorina. Fortune Magazine voted her the worst CEO in the USA of a Fortune 500 company. That was out of a choice of 500. While CEO of Lucent she destroyed the company running the stock from $ 82 a share to less than a dollar a share. She fired 30,000 people at Hewlett Packard in order to create a false profit which allowed her to collect a bonus of 97% of her base-salary. It cost Hewlett Packard 21 million dollars in a Golden-Parachute payment to be able to fire her. She got purmoted at AT&T by sleeping with the CEO while she was married to someone else. After they both got divorces she married him.
Bruce, Don’t rely on Wikipedia for anything. You or I can go there right now and change/write anything we want. I could say that Carly is a former WWE wrestler, and elephant hunter, and it would appear as gospel truth.
Rubio is for open borders, and full amnesty. He was part of the “Gang of Eight” that tried about two years ago to push an open borders and amnesty bill through the Senate and Congress. He also wanted to grant 500,000 H1-B visas to foriegn workers, so they could came and take jobs from Americans, at a much reduced salary. He is the worst of the worst! Your other people above would be at least ok. Rubio is a traitor to the American people. If you want him as speaker, just leave Republican Paul Ryan in that job. He is also for open borders, and fill amnesty, and H1-B green cards to take American’s jobs right here in this country! He said that “America isn’t a country, but an idea. Ideas don’t have borders”. He also said that any person in the world shoul be allowed to come here without any restrictions, and that we’ll find a place, and a job for them. With over 90 million Americans either driven out of the work force, or underemployed, what bring in even one? Does this make any sense? If it were to happen (or continue to happen) do you think that wages would ever go up?
I’m very careful when I write, but then Apple Auto-Correct comes along and makes me sound worse than a second grader.
I don’t agree with Carley and Rubio but I do think Allen WEST for DOD!
AMEN
We need an old blood and guts George Patton like president. The only person running that fits the bill is Donald Trump.
One thing for sure.
They can,t call Trump a liar.
They can call each other a liar for having created a bill or signed a bill or agreed or disagreed with Obama. Donald Trump and Ben Carson are the only two who go in fresh and clean. The only thing they can say about Trump is ,he is a success and creates jobs.
And Ben carson was a good surgeon.
My vote is still for Trump,”Make America Great Again”
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORLD WILL BENEFIT FROM YOUR VOTE. YOU HAVE SAID IT WELL.
These debates are getting redundant and old. While I favor Trump, his sneers, facial expressions, head tilting are getting old also. At one point when he was arguing with Bush I really expected him to say ” Jeb, you’re fired!”. Maybe less debates…..I think we got the picture of who we all want to vote for.
the debates are not REALLY debates like we have with Kennedy and Nixon. they are a joke and the media should NOT be involved. mark Levin has it right. Give the moderatorship to conservatives like him, Sean Hannity, Rush, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham and others of that orientation. They will focus on the REAL issues. I think the candidates will respect them a whole lot more.
YOU ARE CORRECT. Rc
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT. BUT SAY THE NAME DONALD TRUMP IS WHO WE ALL WANT TO VOTE FOR! MAKE SURE YOU MENTION DONALD J TRUMP EVERYWHERE YOU GO. TEACH THE SEEMINGLY UNTEACHABLE, THOSE WHO HAVE LOW SELF ESTEEM BUT WOULD LIKE TO WORK AND CANNOT FIND A JOB. GIVE THEM HOPE. TELL THEM TO VOTE FOR DONALD J TRUMP…HE WILL CREATE JOBS. HE IS SUCCESSFUL. HE KNOWS HOW TO MAKE MONEY. HE KNOWS HOW TO MANAGE MONEY AND HOW TO BUY AND CREATE BUSINESSES. HE IS THE KING SOLOMON OF TODAY’S WORLD. HE IS DOING THIS WORK FOR YOU, FOR ME AND OTHERS WHO WANT TO LIVE THE ABUNDANT LIFE. GOD NEVER PROMISES ANYTHING THAT HE WILL NOT FULFILL. HE IS USING DONALD TRUMP TO BEING IN AND ESTABLISH THE “ABUNDANT LIFE’ THAT JESUS CHRIST CAME TO BRING INTO THIS WORLD!
I do have to say…the MEDIA finally got “IT” of how to do debates….finally! CNN did a great job with this debate! I give credit where credit is due! 🙂
I liked Ted Cruz because he stands up for the Constitution. I think he was right when he says all Americans deserve due process. I never liked the idea that the government can just lock up an individual and lock him up for as long as they want without bringing any charges.
Unforunatly Crus comes from a state (Texas) that STILL has thousands of assets (slaves) living and working on large ranches that are listed on the deed when the property is sold including one that was formerly owned by Neil Bush ,Jeb and Georges middle brother CEO of Chevron.
Not true !
I’m not a Cruz voter, but your post is a total lie! Go play somewhere else.
Where are these large ranches with slaves? I know all of the major ranchers in Texas and I have yet to see slaves working there. The King Ranch and the O’Connor Ranches pay well and many of their employees have been loyal to them for decades!
I am from Texas and I have NEVER seen any slaves here. Sure would like to know what funny books you’ve been reading from.
Carson is a nice man…but nice does not run a country. Trump actually has a business mind and is ‘not’ a career politician who will be bought off. Calm is not working for this country and sometimes one has to be loud to be heard. TRUMP 2016!
Have you ever heard the expression “Honey draws more flys than vinegar? Carson is not only nice, he is intelligent, determined, has worked his own way up the ladder from poverty and the slums so knows just what life is all about. He is not a politician dedicated to purse strings instead of the will of the people either. He is also very well versed in foreign affairs and has seen first hand a lot of what is going on in those countries. He also thinks hard on what is best for all concerned and the future before making a decision! He also believes very strongly in our Constitution. He has my vote.!
THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION ON CARLY FIORINA. I HAD NEVER HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT HER. I WILL REVERSE MY THOUGHT OF HER BEING THE SECRETARY. WE DO NOT WANT OR NEED ANOTHER NANCY PELOSI EVEN “NEAR” THE WHITEHOUSE.
PLEASE KEEP PUBLISHING YOUR STORY ON EVERY COMMENT SITE SO THAT DONALD TRUMP CAN SEE THAT. I WILL COPY IT AND PUT IT ON MY FACEBOOK ALSO. I REVERSE MY THINKING ABOUT CARLY FIORINA IF THAT IN DEED IS THE CASE. THANK YOU.
Well I’d never vote for Fiorina. EVER, she ruined HP also they never came back after she took them to the dive. Our friends son worked for them and LOVED HP until her reign. He was upper management and left the company, was not one of the 35,000 that she let go. They were a GREAT company. Our company utilized all HP products until her demise. I’d hate to see what she would do to our COUNTRY. Carson would be great as Attorney General. He could take this Obama care and throw it out the window, and straighten out VA faster then a bee stings.
I cannot imagine how anyone could think or be so blind to even think of voting For Hillary or Sanders or the party itself. Sick they must be as is the party. At least we have GOOD solid Candidates. Trump/Cruz would be a great TICKET imho!
Agreed.
yes that will be a good ticket
Carson as ATTORNEY GENERAL? OR do you mean Surgeon General?
I would tend to go Trump / Rubio rather than Cruz. Cruz takes the ticket too far to the right, to capture the independent voters who are fed up with the Dems. Rubio would be a stabilizer on the ticket with Trump. He has the support of the GOP regulars and you can’t really be surprised that the GOP regulars are a bit skittish about Donald Trump. He’s pretty mercurial and is more unpredictable than the GOP has ever dealt with–they have insufficient experience with him to know whether or not he can be trusted. But I think they would buy a Trump / Rubio ticket. Rubio would be superb at getting the support of military people (and those with military in their pasts and the relatives of members of the military–a considerably-sized group) Hispanics, small business owners–the historic backbone of the party, and large portions of the middle class.
Trump is a very weak candidate he has no experience in Foreign policy, he speak the language of money, he think he can buy the whole world if he is become the president of United state of America this will be a big disaster for the country in the field of foreign policy and relationship with Muslim brotherhood, without Muslim help in the middle east it will be like fish without water.
I SEE RIGHT STRAIGHT THROUGH YOU / WITHOUT SEEING YOU. Rc
LOL keep believing Trump is weak! You are so wrong on foreign affairs that Trump has also! As far as his MONEY goes..yes Foreign Affairs is mostly about money, but he would have a DOD when comes to military aspects! Allowing the Military to DO THEIR JOB and Government to stay out is the thing that HAS to be done! The main problem with having to deal with ISIS is BECAUSE GOVERNMENT has their hands in it..like too many chiefs and not enough indians! Chiefs do not like doing the work so they expect the Indians to do it all..under the Chief’s direction..but how can this work if we have no Indians left due to Obama drastically downsizing our Military?
Who gives a shit about the Muslims? They don’t like us any way. If we hurt their feeling tough shit! Enough with the pandering. How many Muslim nations are taking in the refugees? Don’t say this about the Muslims, don’t say that about the Muslims, don’t draw cartoons about the Muslims. I have had it with all the BULLSHIT, if they don’t like it leave our country or don’t come to our country! Tell me who could possibly be worse than the Muslim/Socialist/Traitor in the W.H. now?
Very well spoken
Dr. Ben Carson said all the right answer’s for all the questions and did not make act out like the others. Don’t like the media. They just make things sound so bad…. Dr. Ben Carson knows his HISTORY and the other’s did not….This war going on did start way back in the BIBLE DAY….READ YOUR BIBLE PEOPLE….
I am a rhode scholar, educated and practised from different global Universities of the World. I have been reviewing the skills of various Presidents in different parts of the World, but my conclusion is clear, when you are right, you do not compromise standards. D. Trump is coming close to majority of expectation of this country, though falls short of a few individuals. He likes what he is saying, and may not take much to convice those on the otherside, that, what he says may be the main ideal with a few deficit, here and there. But, who has got it 100%? The nation and its standards focuses more to achievers to get its leadership and the rest could be developed along after the ultimate triumph. D. Trump, keep on strodding and increase your speed of accelaration,and keep on strong, everyone will move in your matching line! Did I say everyone? Not exactly, it is time will tell the center of the majority decision! Next time, I will put my ideas to what I suggest could move the litmus to the Mountain.
Edward Khiwa,PhD
YOU SAID IT BETTER THAN I DID. I DID NOT FIND YOUR COMMENT UNTIL AFTER I WROTE MINE. TWO GREAT MINDS FLOWING IN THE SAME DIRECTION. THANK YOU SO MUCH. KEEP SPEAKING THE TRUTH AND TEACHING THE SEEMINGLY ‘UNTEACHABLE’. THIS IS WHAT LIFE IS ABOUT. THE GREAT ETERNAL LORD BLESS YOU…CHRISTINA
I just want to know why you keep typing in all caps. It’s making me crazy.
Christina, GO READ A BOOK.
Mr. Khiwa your problem is very simple, your too smart for your own good. You spewed all that gobledeegoop and said nothing. Just like the asshole (not that your an asshole) in the W. H. He always thinks he’s the smartest one in the room. The problem with him is he doesn’t know he doesn’t know. As a hard working American all my life, I could do a better job than he. Remember, being President is not brain surgery or quantum physics.
Mr. Trump is the one who shows the best Leadership skills. He has a plan, and of course you never give your plan to the enemies, he will be fantastic with economics for the Country and he will not be managed by big donors.
truer words were never spoken
SO MANY GREAT THINKERS HERE. I SHOULD HAVE READ ALL THE COMMENTS BEFORE I WROTE MINE. THEN I COULD HAVE GONE ON TO ANOTHER PAGE. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. YOU ARE SO VERY CORRECT. KEEP ON TEACHING THE SEEMINGLY UNTEACHABLE! THE ETERNAL BLESSED CREATOR BLESS YOU,…CHRISTINA
I am voting for Trump. The debate was a joke. We have to many candidates that have very few supporters taking away from the front runners. The Republicans need to stop having everyone in the race. Let’s get it down to the top 2 or 3.
Really having a has been like Bush arguing with Trump. When everyone knows what Bush stands for it just solidifies my decision to vote for Trump. A vote for Bush is a vote for the current administration.
AS I HAVE WRITTEN ON OTHER COMMENTS SITES ” THE WORLD NEED GREAT TREES, NOT MORE BUSHES” IN THE SCRIPTURES TREES REPRESENT PEOPLE. BUSHE ARE USUALLY DEAD AND BLOWING WITH THE WIND…I HAVE SEEN THEM IN THE TEXAS AREA. SOMETIMES THEY BLOCK THE TRAFFIC. SO THAT IS WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN THE DEBATE. NO MORE BUSHES– ONLY GREAT TREES PLANTED BY THE RIVER CLEAR WATER REPRESENTS ‘CLEAR THINKING’. THE LINE US I DECREE IS: DONALD J TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT 2016, TED CRUZ VICE PRESIDENT, CARLY FIORINA SECRETARY, DR. BEN CARSON THE SURGEON GENERAL (HIS HEART IS IN HIS PROFESSION OF YEARS) AND PERHAPS MARCO RUBIO FOR HOUSE SPEAKER. THAT IS THE WAY I SEE IT LINING UP. REMEMBER “EVIL DESTROYS ITSELF”. ABORTIONS ARE MURDER/KILLING AND WORSE THE PEOPLE WHO ADVOCATE IT ARE “GUILTY’ FOR EVERY WOMAN AND CHILD THEY CAUSE TO MURDER OR BE MURDERED” THAT IS EVIL THE OPPOSITE OF “LIVE” LYING AND DECEIVING THE PUBLIC, SELLING OUT AMERICA FOR MONEY TO DEFEND EVIL, KILLERS IS BEING A “TRAITOR’ TO AMERICA. ONLY THE IGNORANT FREE LOADERS, LAZY AND UNEDUCATED WILL VOTE FOR LIARS, DECEIVERS, THIEVES, KILLERS AND TRAITORS! DON’T LET WORDS AND SMILES DECEIVE YOU. YOU SHALL KNOW A TREE BY ITS FRUIT…FOR THOSE WHO DON’T UNDERSTAND, THE TREE IS THE PERSON, THE FRUIT IS THE ACTIONS OF THE PERSON. IF SOMEONE SPEAKS ONE WAY AND ACTS ANOTHER THEN YOU KNOW THAT PERSON IS NOT HONEST, RELIABLE, RESPONSIBLE AND IS EITHER COMPLETELY EVIL OR,, WICKED (TWISTED IN THINKING) AND TO GET THEM OUT OF THE “POWER SEATS” AND STAY FAR AWAY. ANYONE WHO WOULD INVITE A CRIMINAL INTO YOUR HOME TO KILL YOU IS “NOT FOR YOU” BUT AGAINST YOU. CANNOT BE TRUSTED!
Christina Anne Princely CAN you please turn off the caps??? PLEASE?
Christina Dear, we love you and appreciate your comments, but PLEASE, turn off your caps button. It is very hard to read. PLEASE??!!
I suggest that the candidates for the republican party read Dan Smoot’s book “The Invisible Government.” They continue to allow the CFR corporate media, which is a mouth piece for the satanic one world government, to “monitor” the debates. I choke on the word “monitor” which would be better described as “direct the debates in order to utterly destroy the republican candidates.” I’m beginning to believe that the republican candidates are all stupid because they don’t boycott the “let’s destroy the republican candidates” slaughter by the vile, lying, public opinion creators in the corporate press.
AS I HAVE SAID MANY TIMES, DONALD J TRUMP WAS ‘ORDAINED/BLESSED/CHOSEN’ BEFORE BIRTH FOR THIS JOB. NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE IT FROM HIM. IF THEY DO, THEY WON’T BE THERE LONG! THE BATTLE IS BETWEEN THE ETERNAL CREATOR AND THE SATAN/LUCIFER, WHO ARE BATTLING IN THE SPIRIT WORLD. WE KNOW WHO WINS!
DONALD TRUMP WAS BORN AND GROOMED FOR THIS DAY. HE HAS BECOME THE MODERN DAY MOSES ‘LEADER’ (MOSES LED THE ISRAELITES OUT OF EGYPT -‘BONDAGE’; HE IS THE FEARLESS KING DAVID, WHO KILLED THE GIANT GOLIATH WITH A SLINGSHOT- A STRONG, BOLD, FEARLESS WARRIOR; DONALD TRUMP IS THE KING SOLOMON WHO WAS AT HIS TIME THE WISEST MAN AND WEALTHIEST IN HIS TIME- DONALD TRUMP HAS PROVEN HIS SKILLS, HE HAS ACHIEVED WHAT MOST PEOPLE WISH TO ACHIEVE, HE IS PAYING FOR HIS OWN CAMPAIGN, HE ‘SPEAKS THE TRUTH’ , HE CARES FOR ALL PEOPLE, AND OUR COUNTRY. YES, THERE IS ALWAYS OPPOSITION, BUT HE WILL BE PROTECTED UNTIL HIS JOB IS DONE. “MANY ARE THE AFFLICTIONS OF THE RIGHT THINKING, BUT GOD DELIVERS THEM FROM ALL EVIL”
DONALD TRUMP HAS ENOUGH MONEY, AND IS BLESSED WITH A COOPERATIVE FAMILY, (DON’T TALK ABOUT HIM HAVING A DIVORCE- KING SOLOMON HAD MANY WIVES). HE HAS WEALTH AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS. MOST OF ALL, HE HAS ‘RESPECT AND ADMIRATION’ FOR THE ‘INTELLIGENT’ PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. BECAUSE HE KNOWS HOW TO MAKE MONEY AND IS PROSPEROUS, DONALD J TRUMP WILL BRING PROSPERITY TO ALL PEOPLE, WHO ARE WILLING TO LEARN, TO WORK AND MAKE ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN THEIR LIVES. HE WILL CREATE JOBS AND HE WILL CUT THE IRS TAXES FROM THOSE WHO EARN $25,000. OR LESS. HE WILL CONTINUE TO HELP THE SO CALLED ‘MIDDLE CLASS’ AND THE WEALTHY, BECAUSE WITHOUT MONEY, NO ONE CAN MOVE AHEAD IN THEIR LIVES.
ONLY THOSE “UNEDUCATED’, IGNORANT (LACKING KNOWLEDGE IN ALL AREAS OF LIFE AND LACKING “LIFE EXPERIENCE” WILL NOT VOTE FOR AN HONEST, TRUTHFUL, LOGICAL THINKING MAN, WHO IS TRYING TO PROTECT THEM. ONLY THE IGNORANT WILL LISTEN TO THE DEMON CRATS…DEMONS ARE DECEPTIVE, LIARS, THIEVES, CUNNING AND SELFISH. BUT THE UNEDUCATED, LACK KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING. THEY DEMONSTRATE AT THE LEVEL OF THEIR UNDERSTANDING AND ENVIRONMENT, BELIEVING ‘FALSE PROMISES’.
THIS ELECTION WILL SEPARATE THE “INTELLIGENT” PEOPLE FROM THE “OTHER”…WHICH REFLECT POVERTY, CAN’T DO, WON’T DO, LAZY FREE LOADERS, LIARS, THIEVES, KILLERS, DRUGGIES WHO ARE IN THAT STATE OF LIFE BECAUSE OF THEIR ‘REBELLION’ TO ALL THAT IS PROVEN TO BE GOOD, ACCURATE AND HEALTHFUL.
I COULD WRITE THE BOOK, BUT NOT AT THIS WRITING. I HOPE THIS AWAKENS MANY WHO READ IT. I DON’T EXPECT EVERYONE TO AGREE BECAUSE EVERYONE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND. I DO WANT TO SAY THAT IT IS NOT NATIONALITY, SKIN COLOR OR SIZE THAT SEPARATES NATIONS. IT IS THEIR BELIEFS, LACK OF EDUCATIONS, LACK OF KNOWLEDGE AND REBELLION TO ELEVATING THEIR CONSCIOUSNESS. MOST PEOPLE DO NOT REALIZE ALL THROUGH HISTORY, THE PEOPLE RECORDED WERE NOT “POOR”. THEY WERE AFFLUENT AND LIFTED UP IN SOCIETY. YES, THERE WERE POOR MENTIONED BUT IT WAS FOR AN EXAMPLE. SO IT IS: DONALD J TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT OF THE USA, AMERICA IN 2016
Number one, stop the capitals. Number two who the heck do you think you are, a speech writer? I got half way into the second paragraph and stopped. Are you a frustrated novelist or what? And GOD has nothing to do with Politics. If he was interested in Politics Obama would have never been elected!
I like Jeb but he won’t win the nomination. I’m sure Donald will win it with his popular support. Cruz is also a favorite as is Rubio but they’re not getting enough popular support although Ted is doing well in Iowa. Well the Caucasuses are not far away and things could change before and during that time. I still say Jeb would make a good president as were his brother and dad. I’ll always remember GW during and after 9/11. I see nothing wrong with a Bush dynasty. It certainly would be infinitely better than a Clinton dynasty. I lost a son (Navy fighter pilot) in this war and another son and grand son were helicopter pilots in Korea and the Navy. So I care a lot about how my 23 grand sons and daughters will experience life in this country in the years to come.
I believe Donald Trump gives the American people the best hope for the Economy, Safety, Security, and will protect the integrity of the United States. Trump will certainly stand by the Constitution as it is written and not interpretations by scrupulous and self-serving agendas yes even by our own Supreme Court who now make law instead of upholding law, clearly un-Constitutional.I believe that there is great fear among lobbyist, politicians and other sources that care only about their selfish ambitions. Trump has shown that he is a mover and shaker and his nomination process has shown everyone of his very needed skills to make this country great again. There is also fear among world Dictators and Terrorist organizations of his true grit and determination to wipe terrorism and its evil head off the face of the earth. No other candidate including Hillary Clinton offers this clear and determined mandate to restore our nation and the World to its rightful place. God Bless America.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I LOVE THE PEOPLE WHO COMMENT ON THIS SITE. MOST OF THEM ARE EDUCATED, KNOWLEDGEABLE, UNDERSTANDING, COMPASSIONATE AND LOGICAL THINKERS. THAT SAYS A LOT FOR THE PERSONS WHO OWN THIS SITE ALSO. “LIKE REFLECTS AND ATTRACTS LIKE” IF IT IS NOT TRULY ALIKE, IT WILL SEPARATE AND DEPART. SOMETIMES A LIGHTHOUSE IS A LIGHT IN THE DARK AND THE LOST ONE WILL GRAVITATE TO THE “LIGHT”. BUT IF THE ONE WHO IS ATTRACTED TO THE LIGHT IS NOT OF THE LIGHT, THAT PERSON WILL SEPARATE HIM/HERSELF AND DEPART. THAT IS WHY IT IS WRITTEN “YOU CANNOT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER”. WE MUST BE ABLE TO EVALUATE THE INTENT OF THAT AND WHO WE COME INTO CONTACT WITH OR WHO WE SEEM TO ATTRACT. AGAIN, THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS… THE ETERNAL BLESSED CREATOR BLESS ALL OF YOU ABUNDANTLY TO BE A TRUE LIGHT TO ALL. KEEP ON TEACHING THE SEEMINGLY UNTEACHABLE AND SHARING YOUR PERCEPTION. -CHRISTINA
And if my aunt had a penis she’d be my uncle. And please if your going to continue writing on this site stop the capitals.
I think and feel the same way as you do. Rc
Mr. Trump will probably win the nomination although no one likes him
but the people which was said about Mr. Lincoln many years ago.
No one likes him? Hmmmmm, wonder why he’s leading the pack if no one likes him??!! Maybe YOU don’t like him. I hope you will at least vote for him because those that don’t will automatically hand the job over to Hellary.
Hello folks! Vote for Trump or Hillary WINS, nothing else has to be said.
My way of thinking also. Rc
Get in step Republicans, Democrats, Conservatives and follow the leader. Cruz is second in command in our new administration. He has given us all of himself and the least we can do is support him. And NO need for money!
Ted Cruz is a clever man. He has to realize he has no chances to become a President ( despite great temptation remains). Accepting this postulate, he would reach an agreement with D. Trump and realistically stop all this circle. It would be a great achievement for him and in eight years he will be a President. Don’t miss your chance, Ted, a clock is ticking…
WE all here are Voting for Donald Trump as well. He says it like it is and will not steal from us as he has his own money, has a great Family has made his own Empire Business from scratch and on his own He knows what it takes He will be great for us and give us back our Country and make it even better than it was. 🙂 WE NEED BIG CHANGE AND NOW.
INCIDENTALLY, JESUS THE CHRIST IS NOT A ‘CHRISTIAN’. HE IS AND WAS OF THE NATION OF ISRAEL, A JEW! HE IS NOT RELIGIOUS. HE CAME FROM THE PLANET OF HEAVEN TO TEACH US, HUMANS HOW TO LIVE. SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO CLAIM A “TAG OR TITLE” TO READ AND BELIEVE WHAT IS RECORDED ABOUT HIM AND HIS MISSION ON EARTH. MEN, USED HIM LIKE THEY USE “US” FOR THEIR OWN SELFISH GREED…BUILDING BUILDINGS, CATHEDRALS, CALLING THE “CHURCHES”. YOU AND I AND OTHERS, WHO BELIEVE AND ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AND KEEP HIS TEACHINGS ARE THE “CHURCH”. WE ARE THE BUILDING THAT WAS BUILT WITHOUT HANDS! HE IS NOT COMING BACK FOR “BUILDINGS”, BUT FOR ME, YOU AND THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND WANT A HEAVENLY LIFESTYLE. SO, YES, HE USES HUMANS TO DO HIS WORK, WHILE HE IS NOT HERE ON THIS PLANE OF LIFE. HUMANS HAVE BEEN ‘DUMBED’ DOWN OVER THE CENTURIES SO MAN COULD CONTROL THEM. WE SHOULD NOT NEED PHONES, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE BRAIN TO BRAIN, SOUL TO SOUL, BUT INSTEAD WE HAVE INVENTED ‘FALSE’ gods AND THEY ARE ALL AROUND, EVERYWHERE. BUT THAT TOO WILL BE CHANGED IN A TWINKLE OF AN EYE WHEN THE SEASON IS READY. JUST THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE WHAT I HAVE BEEN GIVEN WITH YOU.
The next time keep it to yourself and quit giving sermons and please, please stop capitalizing.
There is no doubt who the real conservative is in this GOP contest and it’s Ted Cruz. He’s proven to be what he says he is, fighting this crooked administration and D.C. establishment, both parties at every turn. He’s fighting for the constitution and for the American way. He’s going to be a great president if elected. He’s the candidate of choice for ANY conservative and it puzzles me why he isn’t running away with this thing. The only conclusion I can come to is that there aren’t as many intelligent conservatives left in the country. To want Trump instead of Cruz is foolish for conservatives because TRUMP IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE. CRUZ ALL THE WAY!
CRUZ IS IN THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT CLICK. IF he was not. I would agree some what. Rc
Cruz is my second choice but still has a lot of establishment in him. He can be bought. If you really look at his record and what he has voted on you would agree. I am very conservative but he is not totally straight. As a vp for trump a real American and conservative will get our country and constitution back and protected. He would then have the American backing in four years to not have to give on principles for big money donors. We are in so deep now on every thing from economy, wasted spending, regulations, illegals , corruption and terrorists that we need trump to break it all up if he is your favorite or not. Please think about everything in the big picture that matters to our country. He really does care about America and what we want. That is what we need right now. The fact that the biggest demo competitor is under fbi investigation and the other is a socialist really says how bad it is right now and how dumbed down and dependent people that would give them a vote have become. We need to keep our heritage, morals and freedoms we all enjoyed as kids. Don’t buy into the media too much. Fact check your self. Easy to do these days. Thank you for your thoughts and still caring about our country. Have a great day. Trump!!!
Couldn’t agree with you more. Cruz all the way! Trump is a circus clown. Just because he inherited money (and BTW he has gone through bankruptcies more than once) doesn’t mean he knows anything about politics, foreign policy, national security, etc. I don’t believe he is very conservative at all and he’s extremely inarticulate. He acts childish and uneducated with a temper that is arrogant and vindictive.He is not Presidential in any way and Cruz is. Period. It baffles me that people are seriously considering Trump – what has this country come to?
I’m crazy about Ted too, but he can’t get enough votes to be the nominee. Remember, a vote against TRUMP is a vote for Hellery! TRUMP/CRUZ 2016!!!
I will be interested to see what Trump will do with the financial state of America . I believe that is his expertise.
Mr. Donald Trump for be Our PRESIDENT in 2016. GOD Bless America and GOD Bless Donald Trump. Mr. Trump was 100% correct when he said we need to stop the muslin refugees / Syria refugees. When Jimmy Carter was President and he was a democrat NOT one thing was said about his stopping the influx of refugees at that time for the reason. PLEASE Check the following *** IMMIGRATION and NATIONALITY act passed June 27-1952. This act became PUBLIC LAW # 414 and remains in effect today. PLEASE check Chapter 2 Section 212….Mr. Trump has a JOB he doesn’t need a job, He has money so HE WILL NOT BE BOUGHT, He is a Business man and will bring jobs and great economy back to America, He is AMERICAN BORN, HE will make OUR Military strong again and HE will make AMERICA respected again in the whole world and He LOVES AMERICA.
It is very sad that the main stream media is 100% against the REPUBLICAN / CONSERVATIVE PARTY and is being BOUGHT off.
GOD Bless AMERICA for ever and for always. So Wake Up AMERICA now and VOTE so that we keep AMERICA FREE AND STRONG.
One more year of Obama and the rest of his lackeys, hopefully Trump will be our next President then we will know who is in this Country, where they are at and what they are doing, not like it is today? We have no idea who is here legally and how can anyone feel safe here under this Administration?
Trump is the only chance to save this nation. We do need a Patton like figure in the Oval Office.One that will say exactly what he means and means what he says. No need for a soft hearted Whussey who cannot be firm and stand by his statements. If he says. You have 42 days, you have 42 days to do it. All the candidates want to send the Military boots on ground. However they do not want to authorize a pay raise for active duty and veterans. Look at the difference in pay for military and a Senator. Trump is the one that will do what he says. We need an honest selection board for the Republican nominee. We need to hire veterans as immigration officers,and more border patrol agents Canada as well as the southern border. All immigrants should be throughly interviewed by American Embassy’s before they leave their borders, and interviewed by ours. English and a knowledge of our laws to abide by is mandatory, and before you get a green card or citizenship.Mandatory tracking by reporting your location every two months verified by local authorities. We need a president who is stout and fir on present issues……..And we call him PRESIDENT TRUMP !
Gee. Everyone seems to want to talk about their candidate. Since this is an article about the debate, I’d like to talk about the debate.
Too bad the candidates didn’t insist on moderators who would at least consider voting for a conservative.
The question about whether he would carpet bomb a city was disingenuous at best. I’m surprised he didn’t call him on it. It was asked in such a way that it had no right answer. The only reason for asking it was to promote Leftist ideas and try to get people to vote for Hillary. If he bombs the city, he’s a baby killer. If he doesn’t, he has no real plan and he’s no different from Old Bummer. But there is another answer.
War is a bloody business. There are civilian casualties in every war. We try to keep them to a minimum, but war is still war.
The jihadists, on the other hand, cowards that they are, want civilian casualties. They hide behind women and children. They target unarmed civilians. They’ve made this a civilian war.
We are going to get ISIS wherever they hide! We try to keep the civilian casualties to a minimum but we’re going to get ISIS wherever they hide. If we don’t get them over there, they will come here after us and our children.
So the question becomes, whose children are going to die? Ours or theirs?
But it doesn’t end there. Some of those young mothers with six-month-old babies are coming here on fiance visas to murder 14 Americans and wound 22 others. Our only choice is do we kill them before or after they kill some of us?
And I’ll tell you something else, Barak Obama. If there were no guns in the entire world, those murderers would have done it with bombs or knives. But, if the 14 who were murdered and the 22 who were wounded had been armed, there wouldn’t have been so many murdered and wounded! In fact, the cowardly jihadists probably wouldn’t have even tried it if they knew we were all armed.
To be quite honest, I was extremely disappointed with the mediators who were very one-sided concerning who had the opportunity to talk and who didn’t. Carley Fiorina was almost black-listed by them and she was the only one of the candidates who offered any substance to her answers such as turning to previous high-level military leaders for mapping a solution to counter ISIS and other world problems that would involve military intervention. That is the mark of a true leader, one who listens to the assembled body during discussions and then, based on the information gathered, makes an intelligent decision on a “plan of attack.” Just what we need as a President. All to often leaders think they need to come up with all of the solutions and that is a fallacy and what is wrong with our present administration.
The macho, chauvinistic male population in America has turned a blind eye to the capabilities and powers of some women; they have forgotten the Joan of Arcs, the Margaret Thatchers, just to name two, who were historical leaders and strengths for their respective countries.
In addition to being very prejudiced as to whom they allowed to speak the moderators were, altogether, too permissive in allowing the childish bickering between some of the candidates. If I had been one of the moderators I would have, very quickly, ushered Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz off the stage about the second time I had to admonish them for breaking into someone else’s time. Too, it was very apparent, to me at least, that, through their power of the media, the moderators were trying favor some of the candidates over other candidates by leaving them out of the debate. A group of intelligent fifth graders could have done a better job of moderating.
Trump is too arrogant, condescending and contemptuous to be President. His personality would be enough to start WW3 on steroids. I stand with Rand, Cruz or Carson.
ENJOYED MY POSTS & READING ALL THE LUNK-HEADS THAT DISSES TRUMP. HE SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY
ONE WITH ANY SENSE ON THAT PODIUM…YOU WILL ALL BE SO SORRY IF HE DOES NOT WIN. YOU WILL BE
ASKING “JUST WHO VOTED FOR THAT POOR EXCUSE FOR A WOMAN.”??????HILLBILLIE ????
THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME JOIN THE SITE.

This is for our American country. God is so awesome. We can be awesome as well. God send Mr Donald Trump for fighting our American country and our future childrens in their time come. So, let stand up for you ,family and our American country. Go Trump.
Mr Donald Trump will be the best president of U.S. of America.
God Bless you and your American country
As I have stated previously, the American people are fed up with the weak and humiliating leadership we have endured for the past eight years under this current administration. Given our current state of world wide events, we now, unanimously, are ready for a strong, outspoken, to be feared President, by our enemies. I believe Trump fits the bill. He can’t be bought, he cares less about political correctness, and he is ready to fight for the American values. He will put into place the necessary qualified people to help along with the destruction of the enemy. Cruz and Rubio would be great assets to the new administration, as would Carlie. We need a big change in the administration to defeat the threat we now face.
we are lucky to have a man like mr trump. after all he has the future of our country in mind. I not only believe he can save our country I equally believe none of the other candidates can.
Good morning to all American people and country. So today is great Friday and a beautiful day. Ok. I am so. happy that Mr Donald Trump will be our future president of U.S. of America. I hope that all of American vote for Mr Donald Trump. He is a leader for our American country and he will be the best president ever . He is a true blessing. God send him here. Keep on voting for Trump.
Go Trump.
God Bless you and all the Americans people. In case I forget to mention. I wish you, family and all the Americans a Happy Holiday season to you.
