Republican
6th Debate, January 14th 2015, SC, via Fox Business
Network
ED: Read the great comments via
the transcripts listed below. We highlight
top tier;
(others make truly excellent points, including Christie, Fiorina, and
even Kasich.)
Trump increases his lead and may even ‘take’ Iowa; showing “13 hours” in
Iowa.
Neil Cavuto and Maria Bartiromo were moderators for Trump, Cruz,
Rubio, Carson,
Christie, J.Bush, and Ohio Gov John Kasich. 90-second answers and 30-sec rebuttals.
JOBS: (picture shown)
Cruz: Let me start
with the ten sailors captured by Iran; Obama sends $150BILLION. “The next commander in chief is standing on
this stage.” Things are rosy in DC and
Wall Street. Fight for the working man.
Kasich: [ED: We’ll minimize
rhetoric of the minor hopefuls.] “I did
it; bla-bla-blah!”
GLOBAL EVENTS:
Christie: I watch ‘story time’
with Barack Obama and it was different hearing from him.
J.Bush: Obama’s alternative
universe. “Peace through Strength!”
HRClinton = disaster; FBI.
“She might be going back and
forth between the White House and the court house.”
Rubio: I would go a step further—she is disqualified
from being commander in chief, with her illegal actions. Also, she lied to the families. Obama apologized ten separate times around
the world. When I’m president of the
United States, we are going to win the war against ISIS. If we capture them, we will bring them to Git’Mo
and find out everything that they know.
Carson: [Joke about waking him up] Obama needs to understand war is different
now: dirty bombs, internet cyber
attacks, and potential electric grid attacks. If we give our powerful Military
a mission and don’t tie their hands, they can get it accomplished.
REFUGEES:
Trump: It’s not fear in Terror—it’s reality. Paris had the strictest gun control, now with
130 killed. It could be the great Trojan Horse.
Very few women and children, just strong powerful men coming in. Look at the couple that came in. We are $19TRILLION dollars in debt. We can’t just let them in.
NYTIMES reported $1million for your campaign:
Cruz: Thanks for
bringing up their hit peace. Unlike
Hillary Clinton I didn’t have millions in the bank. My opponent had $200million and we put up our
own money. Both of our filings were
public and, yes, I did make a mistake on one of the filings. But if that is the best The NYTimes has, they
had better go back to the well.
Canadian born:
Cruz: Glad we are focusing on the important topics
of the evening. Trump said he had his
lawyers look at this from every angle and there was nothing there. The Constitution hasn’t changed. Facts in the law include a citizen who has a
child abroad, soldiers, and Mormon missionary parents of Mitt Romney. Donald’s mother was born in Scotland. [Trump: But I was born here.] I’m not going to use your mother against you.
The most important thing is who is best qualified to be commander in chief.
Trump: As you know Ted, I am beating you in the
polls. I was all for you until you
misrepresented the polls. Lawrence Tribe
of Harvard questions one who isn’t born on our soul. [Booing when Trump says he won’t choose Cruz
for VP.] You should go out and get a
declarative judgement. [Smiling, Trump
says he is doing better now and has a 4% chance.] Democrats are going to bring a lawsuit; and
you have to have certainty. You cannot
have a question-mark hanging over your head.
Cruz: Larry Tribe represented Algore in Florida,
etc. and the Clintons.
Rubio: Since I was mentioned let me get back to
[Obama weakening America.] When I become
president of the United States, I’m getting rid of his illegal executive
actions and repeal Obamacare.
Nikki Haley [cheers] was referring to you:
Trump: Nikki, wherever you are sitting, we are
friends. I will gladly accept the mantle
of being angry. Our country is being run
by incompetent people. She said the truth. I didn’t find it offensive at all.
Nasty Words:
Rubio: We have a serious problem with Obama
undermining the Constitution. Christie
supports Common Core, and gun control.
Christie agrees with Obama’s agenda and wrote a check for Planned
Parenthood.
Christie: Rubio criticized J.Bush
for being a Bush. Let’s get the facts
straight. [details.]
J.Bush: My name was
mentioned; we need to unite behind the
nominee.
Carson: I was mentioned too (“Moderator said
everybody.”) We have to stop damaging
each other. This nation is over if
Democrats win the WH and get more Liberals on the Supreme Court.
Bernie Sanders Socialism:
Kasich: I can promise you he is
not going to be POTUS.
Bill Clinton:
Carson: There is no question we should be able to
look at past behavior, but here’s the real issue: Do Americans still have standards and
values? We have race wars, income wars, age
wars, and gender wars. Our strength is
in our unity. Where have we gone? It did not come from our Judeo-Christian
roots. We need to recognize there is
right and wrong. Stand up for what we
believe in.
Gun control:
J.Bush: First of all, I recognize
Nikki Haley and those killed in SC, counting on the Grace of God.
Trump: I am a Second Amendment guy. [Examples]
What Jeb said is correct: mental health problem.
Rubio: The Second
Amendment is not an option. This Adm
undermines the Constitution. ISIS and
terrorists do not get their guns from a gun show. Every answer that Barack Obama has, is gun
control. When he ran [before], he
referred to gun-clingers and Bible-thumpers.
Christie: Be concerned about a
dictator. Founding Fathers thought it
important. Obama is a petulant child—I hope he is watching: We are not against you, we are against your
policies.
Cruz: The answer is simple: you prosecute
criminals. Obama launched Fast and
Furious. Etc.
NY Values:
Cruz: Most people know exactly know what ‘New York
values are’. [Maria B says she is from NY] You are from NY and so may not:
… listen, there are many, many wonderful,
wonderful working men and women in the state of New York. But everyone
understands that the values in New York City are socially liberal or pro-abortion
or pro- gay-marriage, focus around money and the media.
And -- and I would note indeed, the reason I
said that is I was asked -- my friend Donald has taken to it as (ph) advance
playing Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA", and I was asked what I
thought of that.
And I said, "well, if he wanted to play a
song, maybe he could play, 'New York, New York'?" And -- and -- you know,
the concept of New York values is not that complicated to figure out.
Not too many years ago, Donald did a long
interview with Tim Russert. And in that interview, he explained his views on a
whole host of issues that were very, very different from the views he's
describing now.
And his explanation -- he said, "look,
I'm from New York, that's what we believe in New York. Those aren't Iowa
values, but this is what we believe in New York." And so that was his
explanation.
And -- and I guess I can -- can frame it
another way. Not a lot of conservatives come out of Manhattan. I'm just
saying. (LAUGHTER)
[With this, the great debater Ted
Cruz won the debate; until Donald Trump spoke and won it back; but Trump did
not answer the basic question of his own NY values, which apparently have switched.]
