I am not going to Tweet any more because I am going to cut off all my fingers, one by one, and then just drink holding bottle with my elbows

"i've given my answer, lyin' ted, i've given my answer"

we are in a saloon in tombstone, arizona in 1871.

Little Marco and the Lyin' Kid.

Opening for Trump to ridicule Jeb.

lol i think there are like hundreds of middle schoolers at this debate taking selfies and snapchatting etc, did you see that girl in the background by megyn kelly dab again

yeah lol

what is dabbing?

all the kids are doing it grandad

it's funny there's hardly anytime to bash democrats, just trump and then he deflects

btw i can see how if you know nothing about anything -- politics, the world -- trump could seem convincing. too many americans don't know anything.

All these trump attacks are funny and some of them are otm but its too little too late

go megyn

i swear there are rich republicans that think trump'll just 'hire the right people.' he's already been purchasing politicians for years or whatever

"it was elevated to an A, it was elevated to an A"

megyn should run

Cruz is cracking me up

Governor Kasich, the human Linkedin account.

"...and the people don't dig you"--Trump as Allen Garfield in The Candidate.

"it's a minor civil case!" cracked me up

these dudes manage to simultaneously demonize hrc and increase her stature

A Trump-Clinton debate will be just as ugly, although I expect it'll be a different kind of ugly (i.e., there won't be Little Marco-type stuff).

i keep hearing it as "little marco stands at the lectern (little marco, little marco)"

Trump dickriders are kinda like the myopic mother who thinks her kid is adorable even he shits on the sidewalk.

And the rest of us just hope we don't get any cack on us

Kasich coming across so intelligent and adult in that school response you almost forget he's talking absolute horse shit.

hah, I'm with you, except would replace "even" with "because" xxp

Kasich's specialty!

sorry so big (not like trump's hands)

*cut to* Eminem fist-pump in audience

Next debate they should do that childhood thing of pretending Trump is not in the room with them.

are there any black people in the audience?

GOP has banned them iirc

An impassioned plea for tolerance towards photographers.

lol yes

"we must be more tolerant of intolerance"

Cruz sounds like Ned Flanders

Kasich doublethink

a lone white Latin cross

"....banning some of the most popular firearms in America"--makes it sound like such a spoilsport thing to do.

Rubio! Two in a row.

let's just take a moment to remember that even the "best" of these guys is so many degrees removed from the reality of american history and politics that i don't see any hope for us.

shoutout 2 millenials

Love the Rubio disclaimer: "and I'm gonna repeat it again"--this is intentional, folks, nothing's malfunctioning, promise.

glad to hear "et cetera et cetera" finally used to describe goals in a debate

"We have breaking news, Senator Cruz. Your daughter has been kidnapped. What do you do?"

loved the "60 years of failed left-wing policies" crack when we've had 28 years (rough guess) of Republicans in that time span

And in the midst of war, the national debt, et cetera
Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera
