I mean how did you get what he said that backwards?

I bet you enjoy John Kasichs excessive hand pointing rants though.

Incorrect.

That was on the follow-up, after Rand Paul tore into him for his initial comment. Trump did better on his second 'internet' attempt, in explaining his position.

Kasich and Paul both came out the best, they by far seemed the most reasonable out of the nine. Really hoping Kasich gets the nom; though I know that's not going to happen.

You are taking what he said out of context as usual.
You want pointy slimy hands Kasich?

It's interesting Rob, is Jeb and Kasich were so awesome why are they such losers in the polls?

Nah, he came off like a silly goof the first time and only explained himself better on the follow-up.

Hand gestures is not something I worry about in a POTUS.

edit: To your second question, I didn't say Kasich and Jeb were awesome; I did say Kasich is the 'best out of the nine' and why I want him to take the nom.

You really should work on your criticism of Trump. He not only clarified his statement but it made total sense.

What you wanted to believe like Paul did was trying to make what he said into "Trump wants to shutdown the Internet." That is why like Paul is not only doing bad but he has no support, he's a known liar and manipulator.

Shutting them down is exactly what we need to do.

So go on about your idea that Trump wants to shut down the Internet. Cause that makes total sense..

Dude, it's in the script, his initial response was a clownshow and only after Paul pointed it out did Trump explain and stanchion his thoughts on the 'internet'. Which I've said multiple times now and you're basically agreeing and then trying claiming I believe something else.

On that note, you need to stop taking something I said concerning Trump as a personal attack on yourself.

Interesting so his initial response means more then his longer version?

He actually had a better plan then anyone else.

Btw literally no one else on that stage besides Cruz and Trump have written anything substantial about policy's. Not even Carly..and Bush kept saying."we need a plan." When he has no plan.

Not sure where the disconnect is, but I'l try again. His initial response was clowny; then later, he explained himself better. (This is what I've been saying)

If we're just focusing on "the internet", sure, probably. Not sure anyone else had an internet strategy. Least I don't recall anyone focusing on that.

Trump's ignoramus rant on the internet was hilarious. 'We will stop ISIS from using our internet.'

So why is this initial response so bad, when he didn't have enough time to add, then when he added it's better then anyone else's who literally had not even thought about it.

When I made that comment, it was right after his first internet response. You're basically attacking me for not being able to see into the future.

Missed this, since you edited.

Rubio, Kasich, Bush and Paul all had policy concerning the ME and how to deal with ISIS that was for the most part reasonable(which was the main focus of the debate). They all talked about bringing in allies from both Europe and the ME and how it's insane to try and alienate the Muslim world, if the goal is to destroy ISIS.

Yeah, only idiots could possibly interpret what Trump said as "he wants to shut down the entire internet". Not really surprising coming from Rob though. As for Rand Paul (lol), I can't believe I was ever backing him. He really doesn't even belong on the Prime-debate stage anymore. Neither does Bush, to be honest. I'm sure haters like Rob and other libs will kid themselves into thinking that the debate last night will hurt Trump in some way but those of us who've been following him closely know that won't be the case. If anything, he probably went up in the polls. Nothing that happened last night will hurt Trump one bit.

Also want to add that I'm glad Trump finally assured all of us Republicans that he will not betray our party by running as an independent (thereby splitting our conservative vote) if he doesn't win the nomination. He was very convincing on what he said about having newfound respect for the party and that he was honored to be the front runner of such a fine party. If anyone suspected him of being a RINO or had any doubts whatsoever about him being a "real Republican" I think it's safe to say those doubts have been laid to rest.

Bush has zero plans because he's a loser and he's going to lose, his only prayer in that debate was to attack trump. Other then that he's got butterfingers. No one is buying what he's selling.

He actually did have plans, you can not agree with them, sure. But to say "he has no plans" is faulty.

Yeah, his strategy was to attack Trump since Trump's #1 in the polls as a means to go "look, I'm actually better than the #1 and so are my ideas/policies that I'm bringing." Trump was smart initially with not attacking Bush, instead marginalizing him using 'he's nice guy who means well' tactics. But later in Trump took the bait and attacked, was foolish. His initial strategy was sound.

We'll see soon enough, but Bush is very likely going nowhere at this point.

A poll released by PEW research yesterday shows that the American public trusts Republicans over Democrats on key issues like guns, terrorism, the economy, and immigration:

If he has a plan, why does he keep saying "we need a plan?"

Even CNN called him out on that.

And then he went on to explain some points...

It's sad to me to see you support career shady politicians like bush and Kasich.
