Official CNN Nevada GOP debate thread

[Paleobrazilian]

Hey, Rick, you lost your state by 18%.

[Lief 🗽]

Santorum: I've won Pennsylvania twice (ignore the losing by 20 points last time thing).

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Frothy is also experianced at LOSING swing states.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Perry just seems like he has trouble stringing words together in a sentence.

[Simfan34]

They ought to simply turn off the microphone when they go over the limit.

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

Oh cool, an opportunity for everyone to bash foreign aid. This'll be exciting and shed new light on the issues.

agreed

[NHI]

Perry can't make a coherent sentence.

[Thomas D]

Ah, Back to the fun.

[Simfan34]

He simply needed to say "That's a pure lie".

Not "That's a falsehood flat on its lie face"

[Lief 🗽]

Perry's answer was good: attack Romney, transition into an answer to the question.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Perry is going to dropout in the next week. I am not guaranteeing it, but I am leaning towards it. The crowd is very anti Perry.

I'd like to see that.

Yes, because the crowd is 90% Mormons.

This is not a nationally representative crowd, much less representative of the South and Midwest where the race will be decided.

Just remebered this was Nevada.

[NHI]

This race will be Romney vs. Cain. Perry's goose was cooked a long time ago.

[Thomas D]

Apples, oranges, cake, pizza.

I am hungry.

[TJ in Oregon]

Bachmann: "The cake is baked"?!? Terrible pump up talk.

[NHI]

Romney's on his way to the Presidency.

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

Cain is very, very flustered on this question.

Cain knows he shot himself in the head 2 hours before the debate

[The_Texas_Libertarian]

Did you all see Perry get booed/shunned/etc by the audience as much as I did?  I always question my judgement when listening to him because he's been the governor in my state for a over a decade.  It looked like he just got metaphorically slapped back and forth.  The crowd appeared to be highly favorable to Romney.

Also, the other candidates need to give up on the Romney health care = Obama health care argument.  It is clearly not working

[Ⓐnarchy in the ☭☭☭P!]

Cain is very, very flustered on this question.

Are you acknowledging that Cain did terribly and is probably going to decline from here on out?

Mitt Romney is going to beat the second place candidate by 30-40 points in Nevada. The audience was very, very pro-Romney.

[Averroës Nix]

I don't think that this was a good debate for Perry, Cain, Bachmann, or Santorum.

Romney was better at the above-the-fray act, but he did well enough, Paul had a relatively good debate but didn't do anything to appeal beyond his base.

Gingrich seemed to do well, but he also, as usual, sounded like a surly arrogant gasbag, so it's tough for me to evaluate him.

No other candidate received as many negative reactions from the audience that Perry did.  Bachmann, Gingrich, Santorum, Paul and Cain didn't appear to receive the same amount of negativity that Perry did.  Although that might just be because he did attack Romney more than the other candidates did
