    Here is the truth whether you like it or not:@realDonaldTrump is only candidate to have the bravery to put out that statement on Muslims
    That's like saying he's the only candidate to have the bravery to shoot himself in the face.

    I wondered how much of the anti-Muslim sentiment it was going to take. He had to turn eventually.

    Yeah, and unfortunately he's not representative of right-wing paranoids in that sense.

    Yeah it's not Right-Wing Mert that made that decision, its Muslim Mert. If anything I imagine a few will drift to Trump because y'know TOUGH TALKING and ACTION.

    Maybe his whole campaign has been a thought experiment in whether it's possible to be critiqued from the left by Dick Cheney. Well, against all odds, it's now succeeded.

    I've seen it suggested that Trump could be a stalking horse for the Clinton campaign.

    It doesn't. At the very least, Clinton could find a better candidate to 'sound off' her opinions.

    Presumably this is just stage one of him deliberately sabotaging his own campaign. It's always had the sense of a publicity stunt that's stampeded horribly out of hand, so there's probably no way he can just chuck it in now having taken a load of donations.

    Expect a press release saying he's unearthed evidence that George Washington was actually just a great big old poof if this doesn't end up torpedoing his poll numbers.

    Isn't this the plot of a film (or South Park episode)? Where continued attempts to undermine oneself to get out of the job only lead to greater popularity.

    Having alienated just about everyone else, Donald Trump still has a few people willing to defend him - Ann Coulter, the KKK leader and Rupert Murdoch.

    It's been pretty good. Rubio is still easily the best of them all.

    Rubio is the only one who I think could win a general election, so I hope he does as poorly as possible.

    I agree Rubio is the most likely one to have a chance at the election. He is vanilla enough to have a good run.

    A whole lot of nonsense spoken by everyone and a little bit of sense spoken by Rand Paul. Just like every other debate.

    I saw a stat on the BBC the other day (in a thing about guns in America) which had the daily deaths related to guns figure at something like 35. I think that might be discounting suicides and the like as well. It shouldn't have shocked me, but it did. That's essentially 1 massacre per day.

    I watched part of the second-tier debate. They were discussing ISIS and the phrase "kill us all" was used repeatedly.

    I was curious as to why some of those no-names would bother when they're not going to win, but it's probably just to increase their profile.

    Aye. Even Carson, who was doing pretty well at one point, is just in it to help sell his book.

    They have to choose Rubio surely, or Hills will just mop up everyone who isn't either an oil magnate or a Kentucky plantation owner.

    When asked whether he could order air strikes that could kill civilians or children, Ben Carson pointed to his experience as a paediatric surgeon and having to tell children about brain cancer.
    Disgraceful comment.

    “My own personal theory is that Joseph built the pyramids to store grain,” Carson said. “Now all the archeologists think that they were made for the pharaohs’ graves. But, you know, it would have to be something awfully big if you stop and think about it. And I don’t think it’d just disappear over the course of time to store that much grain.”
    Yes mate.

    Highlight of the night was Jeb evolving to his final form as Joe Mccarthy by saying that we need "to monitor for un-American activities". I'm surprised that quote hasnt gotten more attention, it was pretty absurd when I heard it.

    Look at how extreme these scumbags are.

    Carpet bombing. Murdering suspects families. Support for dictatorships. Abandonment of the fifth and sixth amendments. Censorship of the internet.

    Most of that doesn't surprise me that much. This election is being governed by the Republican id. Everything they secretly want bit weren't game to say.

    The thing that surprises me is that none of them are calling out the others on violating the constitution (such as the no-Muslim-immigration thing) on things that are flagrantly unconstitutional. "Loving the constitution" is a key ingredient in any Republican platform.
