Donald Trump brought his 'A' game to Wednesday night's Republican debate, leveling criticisms and insults at his rivals while he brought guffaws from the audience in Simi Valley, California.
'I wrote "The Art of the Deal." I say that not in a braggadocious way,' he said in his opening statement. 'I've made billions of billions of dollars.'
WIthin minutes he was taking an unprovoked shot at Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who squeaked into what was originally a ten-person debate in 11th place, thanks to a late rule change.
'First of all, Rand Paul shouldn't even be on this stage,' Trump charged. 'He's no. 11. He's got 1 per cent in the polls.'

That nonsequitur came in response to a question about how his politically unconventional temperament could hamper the U.S. in high-stress situations like a nuclear-war decision.
TRUMP WITH CHAINS? 'Mr. T' heard his name invoked Wednesday as a new nickname for Donald Trump along with his 'I pity the fool' slogan

Ultimately he addressed the question: 'Believe me my temperament is very good, very calm. But we will be respected. We are not respected now.'
Paul shot back with a laugh. 'All of the sudden theres a sideways attack at me,' he marveled.
'Do we want someone like that to be negotiating with Iran? I think really there is a sophomoric quality that is very entertaining about Mr. Trump.'
'Im very concerned about having him in charge of the nuclear weapons,' Paul added, 'because I think his response, his visceral response to attack people on their appearance short, tall, fat, ugly my goodness!'
'That happened in junior high. Are we not way above that? Are we not at all worried to have someone like that in charge of the nuclear codes?'
Trump jumped back in.

And why is it okay for Trump to interrupt another while they're responding? Isn't that against "the rules?"
I guess popularity "trumps" rules.

And if Bush wants to see Brits on money he should move back to England (or Canada).

Not trying to act like a tough guy but if you are standing up for your wife you better to be ready to go full measure - depending on the setting.
Geronimoe
(1,539 posts)Half the debate was mudslinging directed at Trump. The 2nd half was dick waving and platitudes.
I'm a little stumped by Carly actually giving us the Pledge of Allegiance. Did she want to prove she is patriotic or did she forget what she really wanted to say? Quite possibly she thought no one would know who wrote those lines. You know how CEO's are with taking all the credit.

(3,426 posts)Yes,Geronimoe ,
Of course I am very busy right at the moment but I can answer your question. Carly did a pretty good job screeching.scratching and crawling her way up onto the prime time stage . And I think she may well be inching her way past the one and two percenters, so thats good for her,she needs that very badly.
To your question , Carly at this point in her endeavor desperately needs to put a confident face out front as she confronts the millions upon millions of viewers fallowing the really great show I myself provided ,not for those media outlets but for my fan base which is also the voter base.
She was setting the stage, in effect baiting the audience by appealing to deep rooted emotions ,the statue of liberty,lady justice, the pledge of allegiance. It's an old old corporate conference room way about pulling everybody at table into what is the bill of goods you got packed in your presentation. Somebody on her team wrote it for her.Carly rehearsed her lines ,recited those lines over and over again standing in front of a mirror ,facing it ,watching her facial expressions ,creating just the facial expression word for word line by line . So she rehearsed her lines, memorized those lines and created the facial features she thinks you will think appear presidential. The facial conveyance of confidence at face value straight to the core maintaining composure. Straight faced they call that ! Her presentation is quite conventional in the business of business in the corporate structure. But in the political arena ,it is a very different kind of a getting to show you kind of a meeting with tonights tremendous audience . Really really great numbers ,really great. !

(11,841 posts)Lets see how they act without a script and a teleprompter.
All we get now is canned stuff. Although Sanders is doing a lot of events. havent seen ANYTHING of Webb and little of O'malley.
LEts get them up on a national stage together. Unless some are scared of that.

Our candidates can use the online services and set-up a meeting anytime they want. I still think it's way to early, let the republicans continue to implode themselves. Others like Sanders need to have time to strengthen their base support and develop their message.

I know you have read the reviews on last nights debate ,I know I did and the truth is the truth about who came out on top is missing, completely omitted. They made it look like Carly and her makeup artist stole the show. The truth is my boy Chris Christie delivered the bell ringer and it was he who brought the live audience to a standing round of applause that seemed endless . when he talked about his wife Mary Pat on that day and his worries about the possibility of having become a single parent ,driving the millions of viewers back in time to the day It happened, I must admit I was star struck ,I couldn't help but see myself up on the stage delivering that fast hard ball delivery straight across the plate.
And Christie's delivery was flawless ,right on the money. It was Christie's moment and he delivered. Folks he stole the show. I'm proud of my Chris he really came through this time !

Yes folks that is Chris Christie and he is in his prime !
Thats my boy !
