The Republican Debates Open Thread

Oh boy, folks.  It’s time to watch 10 crazy people yell at each other tonight.

Here is your list of lunatics, in descending order of poll results that don’t in any way matter yet:


 

The Donald


 

Jeb (Yep Another) Bush


Scott (Fuck the Poors) Walker


Ben (No Matter What He Says, He’s Somehow A Freaking Doctor) Carson


Mike (It’s So Bad That I’m Here) Huckabee


Ted (Yes, This Is My Dad’s Suit) Cruz


Rand (Sure, I Invented My Own Ophthalmology Certification Board) Paul


Marco (Where’s My Water) Rubio


Chris (Real Life Sopranos Governor) Christie


 

John (Who?) Kasich


Have at it, folks.  We’ll be here all night to be just goddamned awful about these terrible people.

Also, some of these guys were very easy to find a ridiculous picture of (looking at you Ted Cruz) and some people, while they are lunatics, never take a dumb looking picture (Thanks Ben Carson.  That’s 10 minutes I’ll never get back…).

‘When we come back…God!”

Please tell me He’s coming down to smite the entire hall.

Old School Zero

I just saw all of PFTC’s debate tweets. AMAZEBALLS.

makeitsnowondem

tell us what you’d do if Putin engaged in a campaign to destabilize the Baltics

well first of all I’d ask what Lithuania is

Doktor Zymm

Estonier? I ‘ardly know ‘er!

“Ladies and gentlemen, this Quaker stands before you in praise of the U.S.S. Ohio-class nuclear missile submarine.

“This weapons platform is so inconceivably destructive that no state on earth would dare attack the U.S. in any way.

“The slightest hint of a major attack on U.S. interests would guarantee such violent retribution by the U.S. Ballistic Submarine Fleet that no sane human would dare provoke such a response.

“But they want you to be afraid of ghosts so here’s ISIS BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.”

Senor Weaselo

They’ll be Quakering in fear of you, Sill.

/ducks tomatoes

Doktor Zymm

He redid the national budget with pencil and paper?
I don’t think so. That wasn’t the national budget. That was the maze on an Applebee’s place mat.

Horatio Cornblower

AND HE STILL GOT LOST!!!

Horatio Cornblower

‘Sen. Paul, why do you now support foreign aid to Israel after having earlier voted to cut off all of their aid?”

“Because Jews have a shit-ton of money and they’re politically active Bret.”

BrettFavresColonoscopy

And crazy Christians want me to support Israel so Revelations can come true.

...

Why do we have a military? To kill people and break shit!

WCS

“None of us can wait to restart the Cold War!”

Beastmode Ate My Baby

“Or a hot war!!!”

Smithchez

Trump: These bozos couldn’t heat up a war if you gave them a flamethrower. Elect me president and Moscow will be nothing but smoldering ash by morning!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

It’d be great if they asked these guys who’d they would vote for if they dropped out.

...

Ben is just throwing out words and phrases hoping it all comes together as something smart.

WCS

“What would you do differently?”

“BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH OBAMA BLAH BLAH OBAMA BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH FAILED POLICIES OF THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION BLAH BLAH BLAH CLINTON BLAH BLAH WEAKER THAN EVER BLAH BLAH I WILL DO BETTER.”

Brick Meathook
BrettFavresColonoscopy

Nuke em.

Sill Bimmons

It’s the only way to be sure.

Senor Weaselo

I’m pretty sure that is the Republican strategy, but they can’t explicitly say it.

synapticmisfires

Gotta nuke something.

Sill Bimmons

NWA ad followed by a VW diesel ad.

Guess the main demo’s been asleep for 45 minutes!

Brick Meathook

THIS IS THE GREATEST CIRCUS EVER!!!!!!!

Horatio Cornblower

So it this thing still on? Just finished watching the Yankees beat the Red Sox 2-1.

Also ESPNU is showing the 30-30 where the Jets took O’Brien instead of Marino.

Senor Weaselo

Now if only the Twinkies weren’t completely useless!

Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood

Anyone else find it odd that an ad for Straight Outta Compton is airing both on Fox News and during the Republican debate? Talk about missing your target audience.

Smithchez

Did I just see a Straight Outta Compton ad on Fox News? Who thought that was going to appeal to their demographic?

Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood

Yeah, those advertising dollars were poorly spent

SonOfSpam

Trump spells “girl” with a “B”

Duchess

Its about scary black people so they will twitter against it and boom Buzzfeed will make a list of best reactions to the SOC commercial on Fox. Then Uproxx will make a list of that list and say its their list.

Duchess

Ok Kasich is going to get a bump after this tonight.

Sill Bimmons
Doktor Zymm

I hold a strong religious belief that I should be able to smack all these people “upside the head”

Senor Weaselo

“If your child was gay how would you feel?”

http://dc509.4shared.com/img/BL_kYtsg/s7/13eee4459e8/Dis_gon_b_gud.gif

Senor Weaselo

That was actually not a bad answer.

Sill Bimmons

“I thought we wanted to cool their hot island hearts with a fresh island song!”

makeitsnowondem

Duchess

Wow Fox is hammering at Bloomberg

ballsofsteelandfury

I think I’m done. I feel dirty for having watched this. I may take a shower now.

Doktor Zymm
...

Bunnies!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Do you have a gif like that in chickens?

Horatio Cornblower

This is a perfect encapsulation about how most national-level Republicans feel about women.

Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood

Holy shit, I think Trump is channeling Dennis Miller. All he needs is a few more esoteric references and then to start calling the mods “Babe” and he’d have it down

makeitsnowondem

Hey does anyone still have a good link for the legit FOX News stream? I keep trying to click on their video link and just getting a tiny video that starts and stops.

Duchess

Reagan did not say “Trust but Verify” that was a Russian proverb.

Sill Bimmons

Fides tamen quin.

It’s a 2,000 year old Latin saying.

Senor Weaselo

Did they just cut to the other debate?

Duchess

As a Republican I must say Republican women scare me.

Sill Bimmons
ballsofsteelandfury

I hate myself for admitting I would hate-fuck the shit out of Megyn Kelly. Gotta recognize.

...

Andrea Tantaros is at the top of my Fox News women hate fuck list.

ballsofsteelandfury

I like that Trump is turning into Tom Brady so gradually no one noticed.

“Hey, EVERYBODY’S doing it! I’m just taking advantage of the rules.”

Doktor Zymm

Let’s go back to the regulatory environment of the 1920’s! That was a great American decade, and it ended well for everyone, right?

Senor Weaselo

“I’m proud of this festering shithole I helped destroy!”

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Trump has no fucks to give.

Old School Zero

Is this where I find the glory hole?

Sep

OOoooo, Trump getting bitchy

ballsofsteelandfury

I don’t know about you guys, but I know my pimp pays her taxes.

Doktor Zymm

Why did I learn about economics? It’s bad enough when you just use common sense to evaluate the things politicians say about the economy. When you actually use research and established knowledge it’s so much worse.

Old School Zero

Especially when a lot of modern economics (especially supply-side devotees) is, in practice, just enabling the super-rich.

Sill Bimmons

“How do you answer to the fact that all of the ‘post-recession recovery’ you all speak of is the result a recession brought on by disastrous Republican fiscal policy to begin with?”

Punch and Pie?

FREE HAT

ballsofsteelandfury

LOFTY!

Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood

Dark days are indeed upon us when our would-be leaders start sounding like Peter King. MAYBE

Smithchez

“If I was trying to destroy this country, I would try to drive wedges between people, which is why you should blame progressives for all your problems!!!!”

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

How come Ted Cruz doesn’t refer to himself in third person as “The Cruise”? As in “The Cruise wants to pay for upper-class tax cuts by building a massive wall to keep illegal immigrants from taking American jobs. This is something The Cruise believes in very strongly.”

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Even after sponsoring this thing, Facebook may still want to consider marking this whole debate as satire.
