If you want to see intelligent views on the debate and the campaign, read the column on the left. If you want to see knuckle-dragging stupidity from people that shouldn't be allowed to reproduce, read eveything directly below and above this note. Caveat emptor.
I'm watching the Iowa Hawkeyes play at the Maryland Terrapins in men's college basketball right now and a Maryland fan just held up a sign that read "Even Trump Doesn't Care About Iowa!"
I'm listening to "The World" live call in show on PRI. The topic is "Should Americans all get tested for depression?' Host, Doctor, coupla journalists. A guy calls in (paraphrasing) "So you wanna know if I'm depressed? OF COURSE I'M DEPRESSED! The oceans are dying, the world's warming, everyone's killing everyone else AND DONALD TRUMP IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!!!11!
Rubio just talks about whatever he feels like, no matter what the question is. Anger! Fiery Latin temper! "I'll take them to Gitmo myself, since I know the way!"
Here's a lesson in strategery for you, Marco: If you send a battalion, you might win the battle. If you send a division, there might not be a battle. Guess which scenario the troops and their families like better.
Fox News just brought a Mexican immigrant and veteran to ask Ben Carson a question. I guess Fox News has decided they want to put everyone under pressure tonight.
Maybe FOX is doing this to dis Trump. He couldn't deal with actual questions.
Hey, everybody, remember Journalism 101? We can do that for one night can't we?
Just turned this garbage fest on. Is it just me, or is Megyn Kelly trying to look like she's getting the best revenge by living well? Complete with super-duper-extend-o lashes?
Rubio praised America’s record on immigration, saying: “Every single year, close to a million people immigrate to the United States legally. There’s no nation on Earth that comes close to that number.” But we’re a big country! When you rank countries by what share of the population is foreign born, we’re No. 65.
You know, a few days ago, TehRump said he would hold a rally for Wounded Warriors Project. Then, all the news came out about how WWP is really good at spending money on themselves. Since then, no word about WWP. TehRump still claims this rally was for the vets, but no word about how or which charity? Anyone know what group will actually get this money they raised?
The very first political conversation I ever had happened when I was about ten or eleven years old (this would have been around 1983 or 1984.) I grew up in a solid middle-class household in MN, in a blue-collar part of old-school blue NE MN, full of good Union iron workers and others (My dad was a social worker working at the local state hospital, trying to find jobs for people there, and my mom was an RN):
Me: "Dad, if Democrats are for the working people and Republicans are for the business owners, then why don't Democrats win every election?"
JIM GILMORE!!!!
Shorter Gilmore: "Fuck Trump, fuck Iowa, fuck all of you"
Oddly, seemed to work for Trump…
"Fiorina, is ISIS a problem?"
"GLOBAL WARMING IS A HOAX, FUCK CLINTON"
I can't wait until she drops out.
She is a big pile of carefully coiffed crazy.
Is this the pre-game show? I just turned it on. If I'm going to see any Trump I will turn it off now and come back later.
This is the kiddie debate and Trump will not be in either, yay!
Whew.

"We're gonna need a bigger bottle."
Um… That sounds nice, Huckabee, but how do you expect to block ISIS from Twitter and Facebook?
Firefox add-ons?
Best covert operation ever.
I know when I have to search questionable titles on torrent sites, like Tina & Amy's recent movie Sisters, they always have a pop-up that makes me swear I am over 18. So, yeah, something like that, right?
That will keep America safe.
Gilmore wants us to remember that he has real experience. None of us actually knew that originally, but he might be more qualified than almost everyone else…

Like some horrible law of physics that can never be repealed
He got elected VA goobernor in 1998 by promising to eliminate a car tax. He did so. Term ended. You only get one in the Old Dominion. That is all.
Still better than both Trump and Cruz.
"SLAY THE GOLIATH OF GOVERNMENT" LMAO
What a loaded, manipulative question. Not that expect otherwise from Fox.
Drinking game: take a shot whenever Fiorina says Iowa.
Santorum just mentioned raising wages and giving benefits. He's done.
Gilmore/Webb 2016!

OHIO LIBEL!
@ryanstruyk
It's impossible for Gilmore to win 1,000 of the 2,472 total Republican delegates because he's missed so many ballot deadlines.
You know someone is really ready for the Big Show when he can't even hire competent admins to file shit.
Gilmore just said he was a board member of the NRA. And then goes with an email joke. He just went from amusing joke to total asshole.
<img src="http://wordsalad.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/1.jpg" width="532" height="252" />
Martha looks like a curvy Barbie.
Fiorina said attacking Clinton for her husband's problems wasn't a personal attack, then goes with a ton of personal attacks. What an asshole.
"Waaaah our justice system isn't biased enough, here are some lies" -Fiorina
If our justice system was fair, Fiorina was still be behind bars on kidnapping charges, no remand.
Carly is crazy- mean Barbie.
Carly Fiorina would be the final boss if I made a video game, but I'm pretty sure she'd sue me if I did that.
They're attacking Fox News for asking questions.
That's not what Bernie said at all, Huckabee.
Santorum is such a lying sack of frothy goo.
He's STFU Ken.
"I'm the son of a meat-cutter" -Jim Gilmore, giving us a great quote to take out of context
"Son of a butcher" would have been so much easier to mangle.
I first read that as "son of a mad hatter."+3.
lol, sorry, Jake (The Best Cat) jumped on the keyboard just as I hit "Submit Comment" and added the "+3." I guess he liked it?
Hey, he has no thumbs yet needs upvote you. Good kitty.
Michael Matlock
"Is Jim Gilmore married?"
Ladies, please form one line. No pushing.
And now an hour of Bill O'Reilly, which translates to "go do something else for an hour and come back to the thread at 9"
Or find a very, very large bottle of single malt and blow it off.

I can't watch this stream (too many scripts on this page or security settings or something) but I gather it was unpleasant.
The question I have is:
In this application, do you think that the Air Force's experimental Pheromone Bomb would be:
a). Very helpful
b). Helpful
c). Not Helpful
d). Funny
e). Disgusting
f). a and d
g). c and e
h). d and e
i). Don't know
j). *Oukes*
j by a mile.
Stuck at work and can't watch, but I can't wait to get home and read everyone's comments. Have fun, everyone!
The pic of Hillary at Bengahzigate Hearing reminds me that the dumb congresscritter, | Lynn Westmorland |, is supposedly considering a run for governor. Maybe he thinks he can have Hilz grilled by the local nitwits.
Yeah, those were mine too.
Also, too, k). Would require years of intensive outpatient mental health therapy.
I'll go with "penis size doesn't matter"

Going to be hard to top that one.
I'm listening to "The World" live call in show on PRI. The topic is "Should Americans all get tested for depression?' Host, Doctor, coupla journalists.

I had to laugh. Me too.
Trump is somehow both terrifying and hilarious at the same time.
Trump taking so much fire, this is so great.
Bush, you might not want to play the email game.
Today in "we're all actually terrified of Hillary Clinton"
Rand Paul is obviously the home team here.
I totes agree with him on the NSA stuff.
But then again I think Snowden did the right thing for the right reasons, no matter how unlikable or narcissistic he may be.
Rubio just talks about whatever he feels like, no matter what the question is. Anger! Fiery Latin temper! "I'll take them to Gitmo myself, since I know the way!"
You didn't balance the budget, Kasich. You just dumped it all on individual towns.
"A problem delegated is a problem solved."
Shorter Kasich: VOTE FOR ME IN NEW HAMPSHIRE!
Google search statistics–this is Chris Wallace' idea of "investigative journalism."
Dibique! Dubuque! It could happen to anyone.
As if there's a difference.
BOMB ALL THE THINGS
It worked in Vietnam, in that it delivered the country to the North Vietnamese. It worked in Iraq, in that it created ISIS.
Oh, did you mean "Work in our interest?" Not so much.
BOMB ALL THE BOMBS
HEY, DID YOU KNOW REAGAN WAS BETTER THAN OBAMA? HE WAS, VOTE FOR ME
Reagan was better at raising taxes, busting unions, granting amnesty, etc…
I like Fat Boy Slim's NJ/flag pin. He's always double-dipping!
So now they're running on putting Clinton in jail? That's disturbing.
Did Cruz just threaten to leave? Did the crowd just boo people for being stupid?
They'd never stop.
Rubio: "No symbolic military actions!"
Here's a lesson in strategery for you, Marco: If you send a battalion, you might win the battle. If you send a division, there might not be a battle. Guess which scenario the troops and their families like better.
Racial profiling is common sense, says Christie.
Kasich is trying to be the adult in the room. Not sure that'll work this year.
BLACK VETERAN TALKING ABOUT FERGUSON, THIS WILL BE GOOD
Only 75 minutes to go….ay yi yi….
Only Paul got to respond, and Paul would be the only one to make a decent response. Nice to see a Republican do well on race question though.
Every time Chris Christie opens his mouth I want to punch a chicken.
Non colpisci i polli!
Christie's going to balance the budget by not aborting babbys!
I admit that Puerto Rico was not something I thought would come up.
¡Jeb! will stop Puerto Rican immigration!
How will Marco make climate change Obama's fault? Let's see!
Rubio sounds like he's about to break down in tears whenever he answers a question.
Did Ben Carson fall asleep?
AGAIN!?!
Was he ever woke?
No amnesty for ISIS!
Fox News used video evidence to call Rubio out, and Rubio was not happy.
Murdoch must have put out the word: Give Rubio ALL the questions/airtime so America can behold his fiery Latino brilliance.
Megyn Kelly is done with everyone's bs after that Trump thing. She's being tough tonight.
She's a smart woman. And smoking hot, although you wonder why she chooses to wear those black toothbrushes on her eyelids.
THEY'RE DOING THE VIDEO THING TO CRUZ NOW
[ sorry Thai food was offered, and accepted. ]
WTF??!!!
Tuned in and FOX has turned into Daily Show with clips of previous /current bullshit .
Ted's gettin' his lawyer on!
Name-dropping Steve King got a mixed reaction. Wow.
Rand: "It's a false-ness." Is that like a "tissue of mendacity?"
Cruz : plan designed with Iowa's Sessions and King……

Rubio and Cruz are going to kill each other by the end of this.
Yes, snow, Carson had dozed off! And he's still half asleep.
I think he may have done so literally!
Fox News just brought a Mexican immigrant and veteran to ask Ben Carson a question. I guess Fox News has decided they want to put everyone under pressure tonight.
Those hedges at Murdoch's and Aisle's estates aren't going to trim themselves.
Do we have a per capita number? A million people is compared to over 300 million people already here.
Hah Wallace: Ted, everyone hates your fucking guts.
God knows I do.
"My proudest endorsement, however, is Preparation H."
Clinton has no record of accomplishment? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Maybe FOX is doing this to dis Trump. He couldn't deal with actual questions.
Hey, everybody, remember Journalism 101? We can do that for one night can't we?
Rubio: "Jesus Christ!"
Marco Rubio brought up Benghazi and emails because he's a horrible person.
Marco: there is no such position as "commander-in-chief of the United States," you megalomaniac dipshit.
Hillary will pardon herself? Hell, if that could happen, Dick woulda done it.
GHW Bush just about did it.
Christie is gonna have a new Abba campaign song!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-crgQGdpZR0
I'm pretty sure Rubio now wants to invade Sweden.
Christie will fart in Hillz general direction.
Just turned this garbage fest on. Is it just me, or is Megyn Kelly trying to look like she's getting the best revenge by living well? Complete with super-duper-extend-o lashes?
I dunno, I think Megyn is styled in tribute to David Bowie.
To be fair, Chris Wallace isn't looking like an aging sage journo, more like the retiree hired part-time at ACE hardware
Simple, St. Peter! I drowned the poor in a bathtub!
WTF is Kasich even talking about right now? Snow? Help?
He's saying he's helping mentally ill people when in Ohio we're not doing well on that front in reality.
Oh. Reality. Huh.
Leah Libresco 10:25 PM

WE'RE #65! WE'RE #65!
Kim Davis! Drink!
*ouke*
Christie talks about religious liberty after saying profiling Muslims was perfectly fine.
|Jesus gonna be here…|
JUDEO-CHRISTIAN VALUES! DRINK!
Rubio will govern with God's word, which means shellfish may soon be banned. Eat all the shrimp now before it's too late!
What about the poop veins? Do we have to eat the poop veins? WSWJE?
No, you have to mail the poop veins to Marco Rubio's campaign headquarters.
I'm ahead of you. Crab feed last night. Yummy.
CW: Marco, you've been shown to be full of shit.
Rubio: Lets talk about faith.
The GOP: fetuses have more rights than women.
Rand: "We must have freedom, but we must have self-restraint…" Um,ok.
State's rights!!!! Except when I want to force you to follow my religion.
Estonia? No, I just tried to stab somebody!
Offensive weapons? I'm pretty sure all weapons count as offensive.
Bair asks Carson about Estonia
"I was a brain surgeon, not a urologist."
Goddamn that's fucking funny.
Does Rubio have any proof of this Iran shit or is he just lying again?
Gotta go to dinner, friends. Hope I didn't over-comment. Lots of fun!
If you over-commented I'm completely screwed.
You're terrific. Had fun this evening. I don't know what it is about this space but I like it here.
If anyone is guilty of that, I am when I get to watch the debate. Enjoy your dinner!
You were missed.
Aw, thanks–I missed hanging out with all of you as well!
Every Kasich answer comes down to "I'm a Republican that isn't a dumbass! Vote for me!"
Kasich in frothing war WTF- land now.
Chris Christie is now just the male Carly Fiorina at this point.
5 or 6 actually…..
@PFTCommenter 32 seconds ago
Chris Christes never had a hands-on experence w/ Kurds that didnt involve ordering poutine at a jack in a box
"I'm not blaming her for Bill Clinton, but I'm blaming her for Bill Clinton."
When did Bush start doing well at debates? He finally showed up to one.
Cruz knows going for the corn thing will work in Iowa.
Closing statements! Hallelujah!
About time we get to that!
I guess I get to take Callyson's place at trying to condense closing statements down to a small bit tonight.
Thanks for filling in–well done, honey!
Meanwhile, in men's college hoops, Oregon 72, Arizona 67 with 3:34 left.
You made the better choice.
Wildcats lose, Ducks win! How does that make any sense?
Paul: I'm an eye surgeon, and I'm worried about the debt! Vote for me!
I thought all Republicans go to/live in Hatey. (sp?)
Kasich: I can solve problems and work with people and I'm an optimist!
Christie: My wife was directly impacted by 9/11, I will kill all the terrorists!
Bush: I'm the most proven conservative because Florida!
Ben Carson is just quoting the Constitution.
We the People
Fly over a beltbuckle, united
Into the moo….

Rubio: I will bring the light of Jesus and take this country away from that scary black man!
Cruz: I will personally kill the terrorists, Obamacare, AND gay marriage! I have the most hate so I'm the best option!
Come and cock us for us!
Damn it, I never realized Caucus sounded like that and I will never unhear it now.
Once you go to caucus… oh, wait. Never mind. 😉
AND IT'S OVER, IT'S FINALLY OVER
Oregon 83
Arizona 75
I'm guessing that's the final score of the Bundy game.
FuxNews is now having Charles Krauthammer on. Where is Teh Donald's disgusting impression of him?
One dude during focus group on FuxSnooze about Rubio: "attractive opportunist." Well! Snap!
I'm disappointed that none of the questions were about dank memes.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH SWEDEN?! The universal health care? The paid paternity leave for both parents? The parks and lakes? The Aquavit? What?!
