Possible lines of attack in tonights debate

Rubio - > Trump on Foreign policy(Been hinting at this for a while)
Rubio - > Trump on ISREAL(Hinted at this yesterday)
Rubio -> Trump on electability
Rubio -> Trump TAX RETURNS
Rubio - > Cruz on electability
Rubio -> Cruz on being a liar

Cruz - > Trump on not being conservative
Cruz - > Trump Abortion/PP
Cruz - > Trump Healthcare
Cruz - > Trump TAX RETURNS
Cruz - > Rubio immigration
Cruz -> Rubio Dirty tricks
Cruz ->Rubio on 'WHOS THE BEST NOT-TRUMP"

Trump will counter punch in his own special way, Kasich will play the voice of reason, and Carson will say a few crazy things.

Rubio -> Trump on "are you willing to disavow white supremacists?"

People dislike him so much they don't even want to vote for him ironically.

Can't watch the debate what with the whole "timezones" and "having a job" thing, but looking very much forward to the fallout leading up to the yoogest, classiest Tuesday.

Before I do anything, I think, well what hasn't been seen. Sometimes, that turns out to be something ghastly and not fit for society. And sometimes that inspiration becomes something that's really worthwhile.

Find some neocon donor who looks like you, lure them into an alley, beat them up or do whatever you have to do to get them out of it, and show up wearing their tuxedo and top hat. Make sure to really twirl that cane when you strut - rich folks can tell an impostor based on poor strutting and twirling

If I were Rubio I'd show up to the debate with some orange stadium hands except they'd have stubby little fingers and a big T on them, and I'd gesticulate wildly to punctuate everything I said

If pressed on it, I would say the T stands for "TIME IS SHORT" and the stubby fingers represent how little time we have left to secure the greatness of the next American century

The real question is whether the Rubot can be goaded into glitching out again. Christie showed us that you just have to interrupt young Marco a little bit, put him on the spot, and he'll spazz the gently caress out. Rubio needs to have a big night, but any of the other debaters can try to throw him off so he is very vulnerable.

CNN gave 25 seats to UH and they raffled them off to the students. They also let students be volunteers to work it and that would get you in, but gently caress that.

He wished it could be as respectable and orthodox as spying. But somehow in his hands the traditional tools and attitudes were always employed toward mean ends: cloak for a laundry sack, dagger to peel potatoes, dossiers to fill up dead Sunday afternoons ...
"Donald Trump Smokes Mids"

From what I know of Texas this will make him toxic to the black community, but endear him to Hispanics.

Thank you! I guess my wording was a little off, but I didn't actually make it to Houston.

I'll be there on Super Tuesday, so I guess I'll try to venture out to a voting location or something and see some stuff then.
