Donald Trump taunted by Cruz and Rubio during Republican debate

Trump goes on defensive over immigration and his business record after senators team up in desperate bid to halt his march towards GOP nomination

Donald Trump faced a barrage of attacks from rivals Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz on Thursday night during a Republican presidential debate that was at times nasty and crude but offered few moments that looked likely to reset a race that remains Trump’s to lose.

The two senators ganged up for a second time in a row on the brash billionaire over his immigration stance, business record and overall temperament, but Trump swatted them away by condescendingly branding them “Little Marco” and “Lying Ted”.

In return, his rivals treated Trump like a belligerent child. At one point Cruz chastised his rival: “Count to 10, Donald. Count to 10.”

The debate in Detroit was, in many ways, emblematic of the Republican party’s core struggle, with time running short for the party establishment to blunt Trump’s path to the nomination.

The tone of schoolyard taunts rather than substantive discussion was set no more than 10 minutes after the candidates took the stage at the Fox Theatre, with Trump referencing the size of his genitalia during an exchange with Rubio over his hands.


Responding to personal attacks Rubio recently made on the campaign trail, in which the Florida senator mocked his opponent as having small hands, Trump held out his arms and exclaimed: “Look at those hands. Are those small?”
He went on to note that Rubio had used his hands as part of a metaphor for other parts of his body, an argument Trump dismissed: “I guarantee you there is no problem. I guarantee.”

It marked the bleak beginning to an evening that vacillated between a shouting match with occasional discussion of more meaningful affairs, such as the hiring of foreign workers and the war against the Islamic State. Much of the debate focused on Trump, as the presumptive nominee, and the lawsuits against his now-defunct eponymous university as well as his sincerity on immigration.

Laughing stock of the world fighting with playground tactics to lead America.  You couldn't make it up.

Yea i watched it live .....IT WAS GREAT

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TOO TRUE that Trump isn't a particularly savvy or successful businessman...

HE inherited a real estate empire, after his father and grandfather had put in the hard yards..

YOUNG Donald, on the other hand, is nothing more than a bullying and blustering thickheaded spoilt brat.

ENTREPRENEURIAL ?  Many of those business "ventures" that li'l Donnie has tried have been abject failures, whilst if you actually look at his guestimated $10 billion dollar fortune, then he really hasn't kept up with the market, when compared to a lot of the world's other millionaires and billionaires..

2 true all of that; and as I stated on the other thread {in reply to Ben}...the recent talking heads & media need to keep putting that factual data out there in hopes that the mindless humanity that are keeping Chump's poll numbers up --- hear the FACTS --- THIS MAN CAN'T MAKE AMERICA GREAT --- HE's ONE OF THE PROBLEMS!

I didn't watch the entire debate - but I've been hearing loads of regurgitated replays all morning long --- will any of this change those 'lesser thinking humans' to change their vote to someone else?
