In 2020 the debates are going to be a daily thing for a year straight. In 2024 there will be multiple debates every day for a year straight.

And I will watch them all :stwoon:

And they said TV is a dying medium...

That's the problem with "presidential" Trump - it exposes his complete lack of knowledge on just about everything policy related.

What was Cruz thinking with that "Tariffs are a tax on you!" line? Trump just explained tariff 101 to him that the idea is to promote local industry by keeping out foreign competition, it's such an easy answer.

No company is going to spend tens or hundreds of millions building factories domestically when they can spend a fraction of that to get rid of the president attempting to levy any tariffs.

Didn't Rubo criticize Obama for not being willing to say "Islamic terrorists" a hundred times a day.

Does the Art of the Deal involve giving away all your negotiation tactics months before?

Trump wants to be president just to take on the fabled impossible deal between with Israel and Palestine.

Connecting yourself with Donald Rumsfeld? Bold strategy Kasich.

Trump is almost a parody of himself tonight. If he can't launch into personal attacks, he has nothing.

"What is America doing?"

I don't know, putting 4 insane fascists on TV for the world to see.

To be fair it's 3 and Rubio who is more neocon.

When the Republicans talk about foreign leaders telling them these things, they really just mean Netanyahu.

Kasich's shtick of "neighborhoods fixing themselves" sounds an awful lot like gently caress you guys, you are on your own.

It will take centuries to recover from liberal Supreme Court nominees...

Trump does know the average lifespan of a human being right?

If Trump brought a scalpel to this primary rather than a sledgehammer, he could have been president.

Trump has nowhere to go in the GE because (as was hammered home in 2012) the extremes you need to go to win the GOP nomination makes you completely unelectable in the general against a ham sandwich. Trump in his natural mode of operation went 10 times further than necessary. His extremely high exposure is his own worst enemy, hard to reinvent yourself to people who hate you. The GOP needs latinos and african americans to win, Trump isn't winning those demos in 1000 years.

If he took didn't paint with such a broad brush, he could have succeeded. Focus on the economic aspect of illegal immigration, call for a temporary ban on all people coming from countries with a significant ISIS presence, and call out the white supremacists showing up at rallies. If he did that, he would have had the big tent needed to win a general election. Instead he found a way to get the Republican donor class on the same side as minorities, and foreign policy hawks seeing a party with a socialist running for presidents as a lesser evil.
