Maybe more boos are warranted?

*  Until this debate I had viewed the candidates as clown wannabees. Now, after somehow forcing myself to view tonight's spectacle I have concluded the lot to be certifiably insane.  It's no longer a SNL skit or food fights, I was forced to stomach a gaggle of raving lunatics and there wasn't even a full moon tonight.  The ultimate was where the Fox News goofies were braying Trump won the debate because of his New York answer. This "Our Gang" war belongs in a Max Sennett short.
*  Trump is the well deserved Frankenstein that the GOP created. they deserve every single cell of this creature.
*  Although Trump seems to be quite the detestable fellow, I find that Cruz makes my skin crawl. I can't quite point out why, but there is something just not right with the guy. It's like I'm just waiting for him to pull the mask off his face and show the world what he really is.
*  One more worthless debate where the jackals wasted as much time as possible, hogging face time and distracting everyone with one liners and attacks to avoid real practical conversation on issues. Yeah for another debate with useless moderators and rules. I never thought I'd miss the old days where the idea was to say enough facts to prove you really knew what you were talking about and inform the public, not speak as if Fox has contracted you for a byline for a story.
*  So how does this GOP primary thingy work anyway? Does the biggest liar win?  Or does the loudest liar win? I think it's pretty sad that this is the best the GOP can come up with.
*  Cruz had Canadian values, then Texas values, and now Washington values.

Crowd boos Trump over Cruz birther attack
By Liz Goodwin, January 14, 2016



The GOP debate crowd in North Charleston, S.C., repeatedly booed Donald Trump on Thursday night, as he again questioned Sen. Ted Cruz’s eligibility for the presidency.

“If you become the nominee, who the hell knows if you can even serve in the office?” Trump said, renewing his allegations that Cruz is not a “natural-born citizen” under the Constitution because he was born in Canada.

Cruz dismissed the argument, saying it’s “straightforward” that he counts as natural born under current immigration law. Cruz blamed his former law professor, Lawrence Tribe, whom he described as a “leftwing judicial activist Harvard law professor,” for stirring up the controversy over his eligibility. The Supreme Court has never ruled on the issue of whether a person born outside the country to a U.S. parent counts as a “natural-born citizen.”

Cruz also suggested that Trump, who last September dismissed the issue of his eligibility, was motivated to attack him because of his rising poll numbers.

“Since September, the Constitution hasn’t changed, but the poll numbers have,” Cruz said.

The pair got into a heated back-and-forth, with Cruz saying that Trump’s mother was born in Scotland, which under one definition of “natural-born” might exclude him from eligibility.


Trump tries to clarify his accusations against Ted Cruz and then the two argue back and forth.
“I’m not going to use your mom’s birth against you,” Cruz said. Trump shot back: “Because it wouldn’t work.”

“You have great constitutional lawyers who say he can’t run,” Trump insisted. “I’m not bringing a suit, I promise, but the Democrats are going to bring a lawsuit.”

Cruz suggested wryly that if Trump’s theory is correct and he’s ineligible, it could benefit the real estate mogul.

“If this all works out, I’m happy to consider naming you as vice president, and if you happen to be right, you can get the top job at the end of the day,” the Texas senator joked.
