"Truthful" Trump, "Calm" Carson & The Naysaying-Nine - 2nd Republican Debate Live Feed

Tyler Durden's picture




 

And then there were eleven (in tonight's main event). With everyone ready to rumble with The Donald, Carson ever-so-quietly gaining ground, and Fiorina showing face alongside the men, tonight's Round Two of the Republican Presidential Nomination debate should be full of fireworks. Trump is odds-on to have the most to say but all eyes will likely be on CNN's anchors (and whether they go full Megyn Kelly), just what will Trump say, the rematch of Rand vs Christie, and of course the mano-a-womano Trump-Fiorina slam, especially after President Obama said there is "nothing patriotic about talking down America," or, it appears, telling the truth. Grab some popcorn...

 

The frantic fifteen...(Note - Santorum, Jindal, Pataki, Graham were all demoted to the under-card debate earlier at 6pmET)

 

And the front-runners...

 

Trump tops the Searches...

NBC News offers A Viewer's Guide to Tonight's Debate

Given just how much has changed in the GOP race after the first debate and given the upcoming end to the fundraising quarter (Sept. 30!), the pressure is on for the 11 Republican candidates to perform at tonight's second debate in California at 8:00 pm ET. We'll find out which of the second-tier candidates (who all thought they'd be first tier by now) moves up or falls back. Think Walker, Paul, Rubio, Christie, Huckabee, and Kasich. Here's what each candidate needs to do:

  • Donald Trump: He needs to keep defying political gravity. Once again, he's probably going to feel like Bruce Lee in a Kung Fu movie -- with everyone (opponents, moderators) coming after him. Can he fend them off once again? He's also a candidate in need of a second act (we think). Can he put some policy meat on the bones?
  • Ben Carson: Can the mild-mannered Carson keep the momentum he has in the polls? Once you lose it, you often don't get it back. And this is his first time FRONT and CENTER. So he can't just disappear for periods of a time, even if he wants to.
  • Jeb Bush: Tagged as Mr. Low Energy by Trump, Jeb needs to be able to flex his muscles -- especially with Republicans looking to see how he might fare against Hillary. He also should be prepared for other candidates NOT named Trump to come after him as a way to show off their OWN anti-establishment bona fides.
  • Marco Rubio: Maybe no one had a better debate last time around but so little to show for it afterward. He might be the most talented unscripted pol in the stage. Can he show it again?
  • Scott Walker: Maybe no one needs a strong performance more than Walker does. From first or second in the polls to 10th place, Walker needs to turn things around ASAP. As aides told NBC's Kelly O'Donnell: "If he gets the chance to mix it up, he's going to" do that.
  • Carly Fiorina: Like Carson, she needs to keep her momentum. And with a likely clash coming with Trump, she can't back down. (As she told CNBC's John Harwood: "Mr. Trump's going to be hearing quite a lot from me.")
  • Ted Cruz: As he's become Robin to Trump's Batman, can Cruz steal the spotlight, especially with a possible government shutdown looming?
  • Mike Huckabee: He sure got his Kim Davis moment a few days ago (and largely shut out Cruz from sharing the stage). With a Davis question likely coming, can Huckabee demonstrate, like he did in 2007-2008, that he still has what it takes to be the GOP's best debate performer?
  • Rand Paul: Paul was definitely feisty in the first debate, but it didn't get much traction. What does he do to stand out this time? Like Walker, he's a candidate who, financially speaking, badly needs a good showing.
  • John Kasich: His advertising push in New Hampshire has paid dividends so far. Can he use this debate to catapult himself in the national polls, too?
  • Chris Christie: In addition to Walker, Christie needs a strong performance -- just to avoid being left out of the conversation heading into October's third GOP debate.

And, as we noted previously, while initial denial by virtually everyone, especially the so-called pundits none of whom anticipated Trump's unprecedented surge in the polls, turned slowly into much publicized anger, now comes the bargaining phase, and as Bloomberg political commentator Mark Halperin who admits spending "about 60 percent of my waking hours talking about Donald Trump" explores, the panicked GOP establishment is now scrambling to find ways to "stop" the Trump Juggernaut.

According to him, the core GOP and especially his republicans contenders, may attack Trump through four possible frames:

  • Trump can’t be trusted because he is an egomaniac with a bad character.
  • Trump is a liberal and unprincipled.
  • Trump is not close to being fit to be a serious president or commander-in-chief.
  • Trump is a politician, not a businessman/outsider.

But what Trump (and every GOP establishmentarian) really cares about...

I would never vote for any of these douche bags anyway, but listening to him talk(cruz) he sounds so phony. I can't decide if he sounds like a really shitty actor on a B grade movie, or a slimy used car salesman. But he definitely sounds like he is just saying a scripted response that he thinks people want ot hear, not what he actually thinks.

@ TeamDepends.

Watched the clip.  Thought it was tasteless of Trump to be talking about re-building so soon after the attack and his comments were just a regurgitation of mind control trauma script that was dumped into everyone's brain from the MSM immediately after the attack.  20/20 hindsight makes it seems like he's part of the script but he's just another actor not even knowing he's reading a script.

The lighting was weird: high key light from the upper right with dark shadows in the foreground which in retrospect of seeing past examples of green screen fakery may suggest that but I believe the lighting is organic and there was no background projection.  It was just late in the day with natural dark shadows for that time of year IMO.

Wrt to the Illuminati symbolism of One World Trade Center it is indeed rife with examples.  The video should have focused on that.  Trump is topical now but should not be conflated with those psychos based on such little evidence or suggestion. The Internet needs many filters and offers many considerations.

I just finished watching the debate and WOW!!! was that inspiring!!!

Any one of these candidates could be president! I really liked what they had to say. Especially when they debated foreign policy. Right on the money.

Look, I know we're all a little bit jaded with politics, but all I can say is that we have so many qualified candidates that you shouldn't be ashamed to stand up and say YES! I believe. This country will be great again right after we elect a good qualified no-nonsense individual to the Oval Office. Remember, your vote counts so stay tuned.

In the question about putting the image of a woman on the US currency Cruz emphasized that Hamilton must remain...being a founding father. Guess he meant father of the first private central bank as there are other figures on the currency with a similar historical pedigree.

Probably tells you all you need to know about Cruz' grassroots constituency

The world desperately needs Donald "Fuck You" Trump.

 

I've come to the conclusion that the world is a safer place for me if there is an aggressive pathological-egomaniac commanding the most powerful military on earth.

 

Under any other scenario there are literally dozens of emboldened regional powers seizing neighbouring countries, building new island airbases, funding extreme terrorists, conducting piracy, the list goes on and on. These guys are all at it because they know Obama is as weak as piss.

 

Bring back George Bush and Dick "in your face" Cheney, all is forgiven.

SPOCK?

(Captain, I believe Lt. Commander Scott was referring to a dictator at the time of this great war that your planet experienced, and if I might offer a suggestion, ...)

What are you saying, Spock? That we beam down a clone of Stalin, or Mussolini, or Roosevelt, or, or,...?

(NO, Captain. Mr. Scott was referring to one of the greatest dictators of all time in the galaxy. Far worse than those you mention.)

DO YOU MEAN...

(Yes, Jim. Dr. McCoy still has the genome sequencing stored on his medical computer terminal. It WOULD be possible to re-create 'the Donald', right down to the fake hairpeice...)

They, call, them, Toupees', in the early 21st century, Mr. Spock. (thinking, and beginning to smile)...

Would it be possible to re-create 'the Donald' with the same hair color as that OTHER dictator, Adolf Shickelgruber?

(I shall attempt to calculate the odds, Captain. Random chance is never 'random'.)

SPOCK! I'd settle for a 'Soetoro' right now...

(Why, Captain! I never KNEW you were 'one of the Tribe'.) (sardonic eyebrow raising)

It looks like Trump took a dive tonight in the second half. He was very quiet and ignored for the most part, and then in the commentary after said everybody was good (i.e. gold star for everyone!).

No jabs, nothing entertaining. Trump needs attention to float, otherwise he sinks.

Trump's leash got tightened, and the attention he garnered was transferred to other candidates tonight.

Notice how they cut away, or only give him a split screen, lots of jumping around while he was talkin and I suspect they would cut away to someone rolling their eyes no matter what he was saying.  They didn't do that with anybody else.  Carly could have been rolling her eyes at something Trump said for all I know.

U didn't look at worker abuse in the USA or whatever country you live in?

200 years to get US Worker Rights seems a useless struggle and yet you work and enjoy those benefits today?

WTF? U think a short blanket statement covers it all, huh?

Oh, it is black and white. lol. Child labor, working 6 days a week without breaks to buy produce and goods for the household, without over time, without holiday pay, without child labor protection, without night-time differential...

You get higher pay from worker rights passed by the federal government, will you give those up now that you are educated, skilled, journeyman, and maybe have no kids or wife that works? Hey you can have your wife work for shit pay and then prove you are the man. Maybe you will give up your later kids to work for an indentured bond or for a craftsman so you don't have to pay to feed and clothe them.

Don't worry about the Safety of Plants, Mining, Drilling, factories where your kids will work... well since you are fascist.

Ever heard of the Triangle Fire in NYC?

- Really? There was no need for Worker Rights in the USA?
- Really? Capitalist always take care of their workers like Patrons in a Hacienda? Are you the Lord of your Workers? Do you define the Democracy/Government/Religion of your people?

Trump as ever remains unapologetic about the racist nature of his remarks, unreflective about a savage economic system that is destroying the planet and the lives of most of its inhabitants, and unaware of his own "criminal" participation in furthering a culture of fear and cruelty, he is typical of an expanding mass of pundits, anti-public intellectuals and right-wing fundamentalists who live in a historical void and for whom emotion overtakes reason. His call for a multibillion-dollar wall between Mexico and the United States is about more than a waste of resources; it is part of a discourse of punishment, cruelty and disposability that informs all totalitarian regimes. Trump may be incapable of understanding "the complex realities of immigration and immigration reform in the United States," but what he does understand is that pandering to fear and nativism resonates with the deepest impulses of racism, authoritarianism and fear.

Symptomatic for the ”intellectual” climate on ZH to see how many down-votes (and how few responses) your post have gotten.

I read this a Libertyblitzkrieg.com which resonates with what you’ve written:

“I harbor nostalgia for the days when Americans were merely ridiculed as being obese, McDonalds eating slobs ignorant of world affairs. We aren’t viewed with this combination of amusement and endearment any longer. Rather, the world now shudders with a mixture of disgust and horror in contemplation of what we have become. A decadent, clownish, wealth obsessed, corrupt, aggressive, war-mongering multitude of brainwashed imperial subjects. Worse yet, it’s not just ignorance anymore. There appears to be a idolization of anti-intellectualism running rampant, something on full display as of late with the ascendence of Donald Trump as a uniquely American strongman-savior. Not only is this stupid, it’s pathetic and dangerous. [my emphasis]” – Michael Krieger.

As a Dane I can confirm that the common (European) perspective on US have changed very much like Michael writes.

PS. Don’t be discouraged by the many down-votes – truth is not a democratic matter.

This whole thing is to keep Rand Paul out of the presidency. He has lost the most support.

The establishment is afraid that Rand is really Ron with a different strategy.

He is the only one who can be trusted to not bring more war and loss of liberties.

I don't trust any of the others.

Trump talks a good game on immigration but in reality he will just deport some bad ones.

He will take us to war with Iran which means WWll.
