My Take on the Republican Debate, Minus Trump Kristof

'The Republican candidates for president — with one big sulky orange-haired exception — dueled in a Fox News televised debate tonight. Instead of writing a column, I’m collecting some of my tweets about the debate in this blog post, which I’m updating until it ends. These are raw reflections, with conclusions at the end of the debate. Here goes!

Ted Cruz utterly misstates what carpet bombing is, says it's what happens in 1st Gulf War. Nope, that was precision bombing, the opposite.

Attn: Ted Cruz! Carpet bombing is when you bomb hospitals, schools, civilian neighborhoods, everything that moves. It's a war crime.'>>>

I agree. elleng Jan 2016 #2
Rubio lied about immigration. Interesting that they said he won. Rand Paul is calling him out. Liberal_Stalwart71 Jan 2016 #3
Yes, watching, I appreciate Rand Paul (sometimes.) elleng Jan 2016 #4
