19:34 – Reince Priebus is not even remotely managing to live up to the hypnotic beauty of his first and last name. What a waste of a name on such a poodle-like fellow.

19:44 – I would look sensational in Fiorina’s suit. What a stunning piece of clothing.

19:46 – during the anthem, everybody held their hand to their heart except for Cruz who was grabbing his wallet.

19:48 – when asked to introduce himself, Rand Paul immediately started attacking others.

19:51 – Kasich is being reasonable once again. And Christie is fear-mongering pathetically. The extreme anxiety he keeps talking about doesn’t seem to have spoiled his appetite.

19:53 – Fiorina’s cross is so enormous and flashy that it’s embarrassing.

19:59 – if I were still a drinking person, I could play a shots game with the phrase “radical Islamic terrorism.”

20:01 – Trump brings up cell phones with ISIS flags pouring across the border. What’s that even about? I like Bush’s line about Trump being a chaos candidate.

20:06 – enough with the “radical Islamic terrorism”! Boring!!!

20:18 – why is everybody piling on poor little Rubio all of a sudden?

20:36 – Trump has been completely marginalized in this debate.

20:41 – Carson was asked the stupidest question and gave the stupidest answer.

20:46 – no, Trump never heard of the Geneva convention. Why would he, he’s not even an actual politician!

20:57 – Cruz is going all Putinoid in his pro-Assad fervor.

20:58 – Rubio finally brings some reason to the discussion reminding that Gaddafi was removed not by the US but by the people of Libya.

21:14 – why is Rand Paul getting so much air time? He’s an idiot, everything he says is ridiculous.

21:20 – and Carson is a Leninist with his citizen – statesman theory. But he said something smart about Putin, wow.

    Christie: “Fathers to go work and mothers drop the kids to school.”
    Fiorina’s statement was flat out pathetic. This is not a group therapy session for fucks sake!

    Fiorina: “The government is woefully behind in technology compared to the private sector.”

    This is so ignorant. The technology that DARPA and NSA and all these agencies employ is fucking light years ahead of anything private sector does.

      All of this is so far outside his intellectual capacities. He can’t even follow what people are on about. Not that anybody is a huge intellectual on the stage, but Trump can’t even rise to this level.

      But are people noticing? Did anyone notice that Trump doesn’t even know what the Geneva convention is? Or what the Internet is, for that matter?

    You know, all of these people are talking about the danger of the Internet and hacking and nobody seems to understand more than your average 8th grader. The OPM hack is a serious deal with potentially far reaching implications.

    Everyone is far more comfortable talking about the nuclear arsenal.
