CNN Mesa, Arizona GOP pres. primary debate **live commentary thread**

[Donald Trump’s Toupée]

I'm here!

[Donald Trump’s Toupée]

I didn't know the US Flag could ask questions......

[Donald Trump’s Toupée]

Candidates are sitting tonight? And very close to each other? Odd. Feels like I'm watching Meet the Press

[Donald Trump’s Toupée]

Is Ron Paul on even more speed than usual tonight?

[Donald Trump’s Toupée]

That clap looked sarcastic from Romney, although it wasn't. That didn't look good on TV, Mitt......

[Donald Trump’s Toupée]

Newt has been on the peripheral for so much of this debate. It's been Paul vs. Rick and Rick vs. Mitt all night

Gross dude.

You're missing the point

That gays and their allies have chosen to fight what they see as hate with hate of their own by dialing the disturbingness and sexually explicit level up 100-fold?

The link showed up on my facebook feed, and thought it was funny due to the irony.

Mitt just owned the segment on Iran

[Donald Trump’s Toupée]

Paul is about to showcase his insanity again when it comes to his time to talk about Iran. Good luck, Paul - you're going to need it.

[Donald Trump’s Toupée]

Ron Paul's foreign policy stance is insane and is the number one issue (amongst many others) why he would NEVER be the GOP nominee. Never.

[Donald Trump’s Toupée]

Paul is about to showcase his insanity again when it comes to his time to talk about Iran. Good luck, Paul - you're going to need it.

Because invading a country over another false nuclear program is "insane".

With that mentality, bombing going to war in Afghanistan pre-9/11 would have been bad. But hey, it would have saved 3,000 lives. Think about it, and think about the analogy at stake.

[Donald Trump’s Toupée]

You don't wait for thousands to die before you act. You act before thousands can die.

Vosem, in the 50's in order to help American and British oil companies we got rid of democracy in Iran. We are the ones supporting dictatorships out there. It is their oil and they get to sell it to us at market prices, not due to force.

I never said we supported democracy. Gaddafi supported us in Afghanistan (and stayed quiet about Iraq), I think we should've put a no-fly zone over Syria and left Gaddafi in power (where he would've stayed if not for NATO). I said we should maintain our presence in the Middle East to maintain our source of oil, and to ensure regimes hostile to us, in what unfortunately is a critical strategic area, cannot survive for very long -- and, if necessary, that means using military force, as we did in Iraq in '91 and '03.

And that leads to terrorism and hate against us. Not due to our wealth or whatever crap the Republicans/neocons throw at us. If you can at least admit that, then fine we can agree to disagree.

You do know that the majority of terrorists come from the middle class, right? Just saying.....

[Donald Trump’s Toupée]

Romney epic fail by being a douche.

They're closing remarks. If the moderator can't see that then he has failed with a very stupid last question. Look how most of the candidates did it for closing remarks and didn't answer the question. Why? Because it made sense to do so in concluding the last GOP debate.

[Donald Trump’s Toupée]

Very first couple off CNN analysts calls it a win for both Mitt and Newt, and a strikeout for Rick.

A strikeout for Rick is good news for Mitt.

Yes, because they are pissed off that we think we get to control them....I never said people become terrorists because they are poor.

I can think of hundreds of things that I don't like about society. Should I kill those people and expect them to change their ways? Please.

[Donald Trump’s Toupée]

I'm still amazed that you people continue to care about these endless carnivals of tedium.

The reason why we do is because you never know when there's going to be a twenty-point swing because of one.

Speaking of which, CNN has unanimously called Mitt Romney the winner. Let's see what the polls will do now.....
