These guys really put on the makeup. They know HD is a thing now? I guess their average viewer doesn't have it.

Idk, Rubio was asked why he thinks filthy foreigners deserve jobs over Americans. That's pretty hard-hitting

The Fox people think the candidates were all GREAT.
Teams lie, sometimes for good reasons, sometimes for bad. They do it to get an advantage while they look at the trade market or just because they can

Do you think it's from too many hits or they spent too much money on the ad so they couldn't pay the server fees?

Dylan Matthews LIBERAL Vox had the pleasure of judging the debate and decided one of the losers was the truth:
It is a depressing thing when you have to evaluate candidates' wins and losses by weighing the relative effectiveness of their lies. But that's basically what I had to do with Christie and Cruz. They both lied their asses off tonight, Cruz about taxes and Christie about, well, everything. Christie's lies seemed less helpful and more brazen, so I think they hurt him while Cruz's helped.
But relative lying badness, and relative lying utility, are such strange, upsetting things to even be weighing. And Christie and Cruz were hardly the only offenders. Donald Trump falsely claimed that most Syrian immigrants entering Europe were "strong, powerful men." In fact, most are women and children. Marco Rubio said that ISIS is trying to recruit doctors and engineers to infiltrate the US. Not really, no. Rubio also suggested that ISIS is a bigger threat than gun violence. Nope. Ben Carson, for his part, mischaracterized his own tax plan. And on, and on, and on.
It was just baby town frolics, all around. And the moderators, naturally, did no fact-checking of any kind. The result was a debate that probably left viewers less informed than they were coming in.

A bit regarding Christie from the Vox article above:
Cruz did a whole lot of lying at the debate, but he had nothing on Chris Christie, whose lies were weirder, less persuasive, and way more desperate. Just look at this excerpt:
So let's set the facts straight. First of all I didn't support Sonia Sotomayor. Secondly I never wrote a check to Planned Parenthood. Third, if you look at my record as governor of New Jersey, I have vetoed a 50-caliber rifle ban. I vetoed a reduction in clip size. I vetoed a statewide ID system for gun owners and I pardoned six out-of-state folks who came through our state arrested for owning a gun legally in another state, so they didn't have to face charges. Common Core has been eliminated in New Jersey. This is the difference between governor and a senator. See when you're senator, what you get to do is talk and talk and talk you talk so much that nobody can ever keep up with what you're saying is accurate or not. When you're a governor, you're held accountable for everything you do. And the people of New Jersey have seen it. [Applause]
And last piece is this. I like Marco too. And, two years ago he called me a conservative reformer that New Jersey needed. That was before he was running against me. Now that he is he changed his tune. I'm never going to change my tune. I like Marco Rubio. He is a good guy, a smart guy, and he would be a heck of a lot better president than Hillary Rodham Clinton would ever be.
It's hard to know where to start.
Now Christie says, "I didn't support Sonia Sotomayor." Here is a direct quote from Christie in 2009: "I support her appointment to the Supreme Court and urge the Senate to keep politics out of the process and confirm her nomination."
Christie claims, "Common Core has been eliminated in New Jersey." Nope: Almost all Common Core standards are still in place.
Christie says, "I never wrote a check to Planned Parenthood." Here's Christie quoted in 1994: "I support Planned Parenthood privately with my personal contribution and that should be the goal of any such agency, to find private donations. It's also no secret that I am pro-choice." (Christie, for his part, now claims this was a misquote.)
Christie is just consistently, repeatedly, brazenly lying. And it's not the same as Ted Cruz's "the VAT I'm proposing is not a VAT" lying. Cruz is 100 percent wrong there, but at least it's a question of proper categorization. Christie is, by contrast, denying saying things he definitely said, claiming to have done things he definitely didn't do, and claiming to have not done things that he previously swore he did do. It's bizarre, not least because it's very easy to prove that Christie's lying.
What's more, Christie blunts what could be an effective attack line with a desperate attempt to suck up to Rubio and maybe, if he's really lucky, become his vice president. It was a strange, unpersuasive performance from a candidate who desperately needs to break through in New Hampshire if he's to survive.
I guess, technically, the Common Core HAS been eliminated in New Jersey since it has been rebranded as the New Jersey Student Learning Standards.
