[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.]
DRAG ACROSS THIS DIRECT
TRANSCRIPTION TO HIGHLIGHT IT.
TRUMP: So
conservatives actually do come out of Manhattan, including William F. Buckley
and others, just so you understand. And just so -- if I could, because he
insulted a lot of people. I've had more calls on that statement that Ted
made -- New York is a great place. It's got great people, it's got loving
people, wonderful people. When the World Trade Center came down, I saw
something that no place on Earth could have handled more beautifully, more
humanely than New York. You had two one hundred...
... you had two 110-story buildings come
crashing down. I saw them come down. Thousands of people killed, and the
cleanup started the next day, and it was the most horrific cleanup, probably in
the history of doing this, and in construction. I was down there, and I've
never seen anything like it. And the people in New York fought and fought and
fought, and we saw more death, and even the smell of death -- nobody understood
it. And it was with us for months, the smell, the air. And we rebuilt downtown
Manhattan, and everybody in the world watched and everybody in the world loved New York and loved New Yorkers.
And I have to tell you, that was a very insulting statement that Ted made.
Iranians provoked us with our sailors:
J.Bush: We would restore the
strength of the military. Re-impose
sanctions. Jerusalem.
Kasich is asked to speak about Saudi Arabia oil and US fracking. Bla-bla-blah // Me-me-me.
Air strikes against ISIS:
Carson: We have to do more against the Caliphate. Ask your military and give them what they
need. We don’t tie their hands. Take the oil from them, their source of
revenue. Attack their command and control
centers in Raqqa. They should be running
all the time.
Assad and Syria:
Christie: HRClinton and Obama got
us into this spot. They’ve done worse than nothing.
Banning Muslims: [Wrong question;
the question is a lie about what Trump proposed]
Trump: We have to stop with Political
Correctness. I said ‘temporarily’. I have Muslim friends and some of them say I
am spot on. Obama can’t use the term ‘terrorism’ and so can’t solve the
problem. We have a serious problem and
you can’t be stupid about it. They laugh
at us around the world.
[Bush jumps in to call Trump
stupid.]
Moderator Neil Cavuto notes the Trump 11% jump. Are these people are
also ‘unhinged’.
Trump: I.
Want. Security. For this country. We have a serious problem with radical
Islam. It is a problem all over the
world. I want to find out: why didn’t the people call when they saw the
pipe bombs. Police are the most
mistreated. Why didn’t they turn those
two in? Something going on is bad and we
have to get to the bottom of this.
Muslim Immigration, like Mr Trump says;
“I want to hear from all of you”, says Maria B. ::
Kasich: [Rhetoric] Christie: Fund
NSA. Rubio: Obama underestimates. “If we do not know who you are, you are not
getting in.” Cruz: Focus like a laser
and pass the ex-patriot act. Secondly, pass the legislation I introduced to
suspend immigration from countries controlled by ISIS or al Qaeda. Carson: Common sense. Get experts together, including other
countries like Israel. Send Syrians to a safe place in their own country. [Jeb Bush just starts talking and going on
and on.]
NYTimes quote about Trump and China:
Trump: They were wrong, The New York Times is always
wrong. We’ve lost between four and five
million jobs because of China. We have
great power if we used it. Who the hell has to lose $505BILLION to China. We
should use our best to negotiate, not political hacks. We have to be smart. I love China and the
Chinese but they laugh at our silliness.
Kasich insists on saying Donald is right. Free trade, but fair trade.
Trump: I’m liking him tonight.
Rubio: The buyer pays the tariff. Make our Economy
stronger, starting with tax reform and regulation reform. Repeal Obamacare and bring our Debt under
control by repealing Obamacare.
Cruz: Donald is right—we are getting hammered; Jeb is also right; You pass a simple flat tax. Abolish the IRS and the exports will be tax
free and every import has a 16% tax.
[There are ad-breaks every so often, this one for the movie,
“13
Hours: the Secret Soldiers of Benghazi”.]
Cutting spending and needed infrastructure rebuilding:
Christie: $2TRILLION is
offshore. Bring it back to build jobs.
Carson: Fair/Flat tax, no exemptions. Stop spending so much money. Get rid of regulations. We are killing our people. It is not the ‘rich’ like Sanders/Hillary
say, it is the government.
Trump: Republicans and
Democrats see it but they can’t agree.
Entitlements, Medicare:
Rubio: What I am not going to do is like what Ted
Cruz is suggesting, like they do in Europe with the VAT and income tax. I’ll
side with Ronald Reagan and not Nancy Pelosi.
Cruz: This is not a VAT tax, it is a flat business
tax. It eliminates the death tax,
payroll tax. Mine is 10% and the tax plan goes up to 35%, leaving in the
complexity. Art Laffer wrote the plan
for Ronald Reagan and says my plan is the best.
Rubio: You are not going to eliminate the IRS
because someone has to collect the taxes.
Christie: No one up here wants to
answer the question about Entitlements because it is hard.
Carson: We released out tax plans, and multiple
journals said mine is the best.
Trump is a billionaire; will you
have a blind trust:
Trump: Ivanka and Donald [Jr] can run the
company. I wouldn’t care about anything
but my country.
Crime spikes in 30 cities:
Christie: FBI director is a
friend of mine. They give the benefit of
the doubt to the criminal.
Kasich: I created a task force
long ago.
Immigrant green cards: [Here,
you can read the transcript for yourself, link is below.]
Rubio: It’s been debated for 30
years. Keep America safe.
Cruz: I’ve been leading to
stop; Marco was on the other side.
Rubio: You used to support [this,
that, the other] and now you are against it.
Cruz: He had no fewer than 11
attacks there and half are flat-out false.
[Details]
Before and After ‘word cloud’ about national safety:
[J.Bush changes the subject to the back-and-forth.] 23million files hacked by Chinese.
Closing Statements:
Kasich: (60 seconds). J.Bush: (Florida jobs). Christie: (Obama
fantasyland);
Carson: I’ve encountered so many Americans who are
angry [w/DC] “We the People”. Heal.
Rubio: 200 yrs ago, our rights come from God. The
American miracle. Now, it feels
different. In 2008 we elected someone
who wants to change America. 2016 is a
turning point; HRClinton would make it much worse.
Cruz: “13 Hours” will show the incredible bravery
and politicians that abandoned them.
This commander in chief abandons the military; Hillary Clinton sides with “All Lives
Matter”. If elected, I will strengthen
the military and “I will have your back.”
Trump: I stood yesterday with 75 construction
workers. They had tears streaming down
their faces as they watched Iranians with guns to our soldiers heads. It was a terrible sight; it was a terrible sight. The only reason we got them back was because
of the stupid Deal giving them $150BILLION.
If I’m elected president, there won’t be future stupid deals.
NOTE: In interviews with Neil Cavuto immediately after, we liked Carson,
Trump, and Cruz. He spent the most time with Ted Cruz and attacks on Ted Cruz
being born by an American mom in Canada.
This will be like pesky gnats with no effect. Trump actually inoculated Cruz by bringing it up first for the Iowa vote.

NOTE: As noted above, we like
what other minor candidates say: Fiorina, Christie, and even Kasich make
excellent points against Obama and HRClinton, but this is already known and
could be said by the main two candidates, Trump and Cruz, who each spoke about
the other being their VP, maybe.

We enjoyed watching the three ‘undercard’ candidates. Here’s the
transcript:
They hit Obama/Hillary hard.
These points are also made by the top two or three.
