Republican Primary Debate (CNBC)

Featured Replies

Sooner or later, he will. The big question - which of the cons will garner the lion's share of said support? And will Trump head a third-party ticket?

 

Many on this site claimed he would already be out.

 

Not an ardent supporter but I don't think he is going anywhere. He has tapped into the disgust by many Americans of the political machine. He is seen as an outsider.

Finally, an objective post about the moderators. Refreshing after reading crybaby after crybaby post.

 

Who is crying? I am just calling out what was pretty obvious. If you don't think the moderators came into that debate with a totally different agenda than the moderators do when they do a Dem debate, then you and TTP and Hellcats are simply not paying attention. I am actually glad they acted so poorly now because it backfired and helped the R's on stage at the end.

I get the impression Trump dislikes most of the gang of 10 worse than he dislikes Hillary ... and I'm not so sure he even dislikes Hillary (considering she got an invite to his wedding).

 

My best guess is the majority of Trump's supporters would vote for no one if Donald isn't on the ballot.

You're ability to consistently not to be in reality is an impressive streak.

I'd like an answer as well , Who are you calling a crybaby ?

Primarily those poor, put-upon millionaires who are being picked on by those mean old moderators.:lol:

Nice try , but you said the crybabies who are posting on this thread -- I'm not aware any of the Republican nominees for President were among us . Your boorish, condescending attitude towards BGP members who disagree with your politics is duly noted .

The Republican candidates met once again, and we found several claims worthy of fact-checking. Here are some of the highlights from the debate:

 

Former CEO Carly Fiorina claimed that 92 percent of the job losses in President Obama’s first term belonged to women, but women — and men — gained jobs by the end of Obama’s first term.

 

Businessman Donald Trump disputed the idea that he had criticized Sen. Marco Rubio and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for supporting H-1B visas. In fact, Trump’s immigration plan, posted on his website, is critical of both of them.

 

Trump also claimed his campaign was 100 percent self-funded, but more than half of the money his campaign has raised came from supporters’ contributions.

 

Fiorina blamed the Affordable Care Act for a large disparity in firm closings versus openings every year. But closings outnumbered firm births by the widest margin in 2009, a year before the law was enacted.

 

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson said it was “total propaganda” to say he was involved with a controversial nutritional supplement company, but he appeared in promotional videos for the company, touting its products.

 

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said that Social Security would be insolvent in seven to eight years. But even after the trust funds are exhausted — estimated to be in 14 to 19 years — the program can still pay out 73 percent of benefits for several decades.

 

Sen. Ted Cruz said women’s wages have declined under Obama, when in fact the latest figures show their wages have increased.

 

Rubio claimed CNBC’s John Harwood was wrong that a Tax Foundation analysis of his tax plan found those in the top 1 percent of earners would get nearly twice the gain as those in the middle. Harwood was right, and that’s on a percentage basis.

 

In the undercard debate, former New York Gov. George Pataki claimed the Iranians, Russians and Chinese “hacked” the private server Hillary Clinton used as secretary of state and obtained “state secrets.” There’s no evidence of that.

 

 

FactChecking the CNBC Debates

 

What does this website have to say about Hillary's Benghazi testimony?

LOL, you never could stay on topic could you, always desperately poking around trying to get to people.

 

Your question has nothing to do with the debate, now does it?

 

You know what the facts are on your question, after what the person who was in line to be the new speaker admitted, as well as another, on top of what the lead investigator has said.

 

Now, can we get back to the topic of this thread?

 

Speaking of which, I think Rubio won the debate. I am still curious of what has happened to Paul? Again he doesn't show much, and he again did not have much time speaking. I think he and Cruz are waiting until the other drops out to see how many of the others supporters will jump on their ship.

Ok here is a debate question for you. Did you do a fact check on the Dems debate? Plus just had to let you know I was still alive. :lol:

Yeah I'll be looking for that fact check report on the D debate . But since there is no debate , Hillary has been chosen by the elite of the D party there might not be anything to report . I know we joke and laugh but having a flame throwing mouth like Trump lead the R's ( or be upper tier ) and the democrats not have a true nominating process is entirely bad for the country . At least the R's offer a diverse field with diverse ideas .

Hillary alone could crash fact check servers.

Another crybaby conservative giving an opinion on the debate :

 

Even veteran liberal journalist Carl Bernstein slammed CNBC, trashing the cable channel’s handling of Wednesday’s debate as “reprehensible.” The Watergate-era author appeared on CNN and fumed, “More than anything... CNBC was really reprehensible.”

I see no evidence that the Republicans are offering "diverse ideas." All I see are candidates constantly interrupting the moderators for air time in order to spout memorized, canned replies. As to the bolded, there's a difference between an adult debate and a clown debate headed up by Bozo Trump. Carry on.

I didn't realize Hillary was in this most recent debate?
