moon squares say-anything
Everyone seems to have internalized the fact that you can say anything you want at a televised debate, and only a tiny fraction of the audience will ever see a fact-check. So why not claim the moon is square?
country years obamacare
We have 400,000 small businesses forming every year in this country. How great is that? They are employing themselves, they are potentially employing others. The bad news is, we have 470,000 going out of business every year. And why? They cite Obamacare.
believe passionate fighter
I'm a fighter. I am passionate about what I believe. I've been passionate my whole life about the [American] Constitution.
fighting thinking campaigns
I think that is why we're seeing conservatives uniting behind our campaign, because I have a proven record as a consistent conservative of standing up to Washington and fighting for the constitution.
believe long presidential
I believe over the long term he's going to have the money, and he's got the message, that this is going to be one of the finalists for the presidential campaign.
country jobs pay
You can't get to a balanced budget and begin to pay down debt and thus create jobs in this country if you don't have specific plans to make it work.
views people vote
In my view, republican primary debates ought to be moderated by people who would vote in a primary.
thinking trying expensive
You think defending this nation [americans] is expensive, try not defending it. That's a lot more expensive.
problem solve
You don't have to solve every problem at once.
answers disease problem
Mike Huckabee says the answer to our problems is to cure all diseases. I guess no one's thought of that before.
thinking president needs
I think President's candidates need shock collars or something.
thinking ben-carson proud
Ben Carson seems pretty proud that he knows how big the Medicare budget is. All that money goes to the private sector, but Carson seems to think the private sector would do a lot better if...something. I'm not quite sure what.
jobs home beer
If you want someone to grab a beer with, I may not be that guy. But if you want someone to drive you home, I will get the job done and I will get you home.
book math media
Let me say something at the outset. The questions that have been asked so far in this debate illustrate why the American people don't trust the media. This is not a cage match. And, you look at the questions - "Donald Trump, are you a comic-book villain?" "Ben Carson, can you do math?" "John Kasich, will you insult two people over here?" "Marco Rubio, why don't you resign?" "Jeb Bush, why have your numbers fallen?" How about talking about the substantive issues the people care about?
