Every Republican On Debate Stage Refuses To Name One Democrat They Admire
Tuesday night’s early “undercard” Republican presidential debate is set to begin at 7 p.m. ET.
After listening to Christie rope-a-dope on the questions, Jindal said, “Chris, look, I’ll give you your ribbon for participation, and a juicebox, but in the real world, it’s about results…It’s about actually cutting government spending, not just talking about cutting government spending”.
“You need someone who’s going to stand up on that stage and prosecute the case against her”, he said.
“They’ll call me lots of different things” in New Jersey, Christie said. “Is he kidding? Did he watch what I went through in January of 2014 for months and months of relentless attacks… when it turned out that I did absolutely nothing wrong?”
The running duel between the two overshadowed the other two candidates on the stage.
Rick Santorum – When the former Pennsylvania GOP Senator wasn’t partying like it was 1995, he was shouting in the microphone likely causing permanent hearing damage to a few poor tech guy.
“I’ll tell you what I want to talk about: what’s going to happen to this country if we have another four years of Barack Obama’s policies”.
His most memorable moment, however, was a joke.
Additionally, Christie said hackers from China stole his identity. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
Huckabee objected and said that he in fact lowered spending.
“We’re not whiners and moaners and complainers in the Christie campaign”, Christie said Monday on “Fox and Friends”.
“Let’s not just beat Hillary”. Huckabee stated his support for veterans and ranted on the state of the Veteran Affairs Office, and Christie took the opportunity to make a veiled reference to his previous shots at Obama over his support of police officers. Instead, he repeatedly cast himself as somebody who could appeal to moderates and win in blue states. Rather than wallow in the reality that he’s further than ever from the White House, Mr. Christie adopted the pose of a front-runner.
“One stays up very late at night and works every weekend”, Regan said. He said the USA tax code provided disincentives to manufacturing in America.
“I want to fire everybody in DC, in both parties”, Mr. Jindal declared, in one of his many broadsides against Washington.
Huckabee went Christie one better and said that he would eliminate the income tax entirely and move to a “fair tax”, essentially a national retail sales tax.
Huckabee said that if we can’t “feed ourselves, fuel ourselves and fight for ourselves”, there is no freedom.
To focus on the issues – which candidates faulted CNBC for not doing, though that might have made for better TV – Fox Business will allow candidates more time to respond to questions: 90 seconds for their answers and 60 seconds for rebuttals. “That’s none of their business”.
This was Christie’s first appearance in the undercard debate, and before Tuesday, he had appeared in the prime-time debate. He competed with the frontrunners in the first three debates.
