I see the tradition of giving no fucks about the moderator bell is alive and well.

It needs to be a loud gong with annoying flashing lights and possibly a bright light shining in their face. lol.

Trump: "I just left Indonesia"

No you didn't......

Trump: "There's something going on, and it's bad."

This is basically his campaign in a nutshell (both in terms of what he's telling people, and what people are saying about his campaign.)

Trump: China hunts and kills our companies like a crazed rabid tiger. (Don't ask about the American CEOs that send the jobs over to China....it's all China's fault.)


Cavuto: So would you impose a tariff on Chinese goods?
Trump: I know so much about trade with China. Carl Icahn? Great guy. Endorsed me today. That's the kind of guy we should have negotiating with China.
Cavuto: So....what about the tariff?
Trump: Hey, I love China. I love the Chinese people (despite the fact that I just blamed them for all our job losses five minutes ago).
Cavuto: And....the tariff?


Trump is getting so damn predictable.

Trump isn't even able to directly answer the tariff question thing (which he may or may not have actually said that he was making a tariff).

He did answer it directly at the very end, after three minutes of the above.

And what you're seeing here is the great schism in the Republican Party today -- free-marketeers vs. nativist protectionists.

The establishment is the banner-carriers for the former, guys like Trump (and tonight, Kasich) are tapping into the latter.


And again, Trump obfuscates the issue on the fact that tariffs will raise prices.

EDIT: Where the hell did they find an anti-Trump crowd in South Carolina??

EDIT #2: Umm...China has Boeing building plants in China, because the planes built there will be bought by China. Lot cheaper to deliver a plane without having to fly it over the ocean (or ship it in pieces).

I just noticed that Marco Rubio is wearing a BLUE tie.

And yeah, to quote someone on CNNs live feed: "Trump's answer on China is such a completely incomprehensible pile of nonsense."

Tariffs will also force China to stop destroying the planet just to save Americans some shekels

Trump: "I love China but they're bitches like the Japanese, if we play economic chicken they'll swerve like the cravens they are and devalue their own money under threat of my throbbing presidential trade phallus."

Lindsey Graham's supporters maybe? He's well liked in the state, so I'm told (or read rather).

Of course though, the crowd is definetly not anti-Cruz, and theres a good deal of overlap in crowds that go to Trump and Cruz.
