Winners and Losers Of The CBS Debate

by John Hawkins | February 14, 2016 12:07 am

This was a nasty debate and you can tell that some of these candidates seem to really dislike each other. Trump really seems to hate Jeb and Cruz. Marco and Cruz also seem to despise each other. It’s getting ugly, folks — and the audience was positively loaded with squishes who loved Jeb, loved Marco while they hated Trump and Cruz.

Whatever candidate you support know that this debate spawned a thousand Democrat attack ads. #GOPDebate[2] #CBSDebate[3] #2016

Seriously, this is insane.

The GOP is destroying itself tonight, and they have no one to blame but themselves. #GOPDebate[2]

6) Trump: Jeb Bush kicked his ass from one side of the stage to the other and he sounded horrible talking about Bush. Also, he was a weird shade of orange. Many of his supporters will forgive him for anything, but if you aren’t already a Trump fan, you were probably turned off by this performance.

So, Trump says Bush lied and he should be impeached? He sounds like a conspiracy kook. #gopdebate[6]

And now Trump just explicitly blamed George W. Bush for 9/11 and the World Trade Center attacks. That won’t go over well.

Trump looks totally natural tonight. #GOPDebate[2] pic.twitter.com/68GtWDivvu[9]

Trump doesn’t answer questions. It’s all, “Make America great! Have you seen my polls? I self-fund! We’ll hire the best” #GOPDebate[2]

— John Hawkins (@johnhawkinsrwn) February 14, 2016[11]

When they talk about national Security, Trump sounds like a kindergartner compared to guys like Rubio and Cruz. #GOPDebate[2]

— John Hawkins (@johnhawkinsrwn) February 14, 2016[12]

How are we seriously talking about having a buffoon who thinks W. lied about WMDs and should have been impeached as our nominee? #GOPDebate[2]

— John Hawkins (@johnhawkinsrwn) February 14, 2016[13]

Trump is sounding more and more like a Democrat as this debate goes on…

— Marc Lamont Hill (@marclamonthill) February 14, 2016[14]

Trump’s diehard supporters don’t care what he says or believes, but he may bleed some casual support after that performance. #GOPDebate[2]

5) Carson: Carson is just Carson. He speaks slow, complains he doesn’t get enough time, doesn’t have a lot of specifics and tonight, he wasn’t as charming as usual. He was also forgettable as you can tell by the lack of quotes.

4) Cruz: Cruz wasn’t bad, but he didn’t have many good lines, lost his back and forth with Rubio on immigration and wasn’t as sharp as normal. However, he did humiliate Rubio by speaking Spanish after Rubio claimed he didn’t know how.

Cruz on Trump: “Nobody who cares about judges would contribute to John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer and Harry Reid”

3) Kasich: I find little Jimmy Sunshine annoying, but he benefited from the fact that he’s not enough of a threat for anyone to squash him. So, he got to play the “I want to positive” card all night.

All of Kasich’s answers seem to revolve around how everyone will like him as POTUS and get along. So… okay then. #GOPDebate[2]

2) Bush: Jeb keeps improving and tonight, he consistently beat Trump in head-to-head fights.

This place is really packed with Jeb supporters. “Hello, I’m Jeb.” WHOOOOOOOOO! #GOPDebate[2]

— John Hawkins (@johnhawkinsrwn) February 14, 2016[21]

“We didn’t go bankrupt like Trump and call it success.” — Jeb Bush #GOPDebate[2]

— John Hawkins (@johnhawkinsrwn) February 14, 2016[22]

Jeb keeps getting better in these debates, but there’s a weirdness/awkwardness at his core that keeps him from doing well. #GOPDebate[2]

— John Hawkins (@johnhawkinsrwn) February 14, 2016[23]

“Wanna talk about weakness? It’s weak to disparage Hispanics. It’s weak to denigrate women. It’s weak to put down John McCain.” — Jeb

— John Hawkins (@johnhawkinsrwn) February 14, 2016[24]

“While Donald Trump was building a reality TV show, my brother was building a security apparatus that kept us safe.” — Jeb Bush #GOPDebate[2]

— John Hawkins (@johnhawkinsrwn) February 14, 2016[25]

1) Rubio: Rubio bounced back from his bad debate, got in some good lines, won his back and forth with Cruz on immigration and didn’t get hit very much.

Here’s what Rubio never explains: He has already lied to everyone on immigration, so why should we believe him now? #GOPDebate[2]

— John Hawkins (@johnhawkinsrwn) February 14, 2016[26]

Rubio says Cruz can’t speak Spanish. Doesn’t respond when Cruz speaks Spanish.

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) February 14, 2016[27]

“It has been over 80 years since a lame duck President appointed a Supreme Court Justice.” — Marco Rubio #Scalia[28] #GOPDebate[2]

— John Hawkins (@johnhawkinsrwn) February 14, 2016[29]

Even Megyn Kelly admitted what Rubio is saying right now isn’t true. #GOPDebate[2]

“I just want to say on behalf of my family, that I thank God it was George Bush in the White House on 9/11 instead of Al Gore.” — Rubio
