I was impressed by Rand Paul. He was the only one last night that openly used facts, evidence and real data in his arguments. His only blunder was his comment on Saudi Arabia and the refugees.
Saudi Arabia says it has accepted 2.5 million Syrians under its guest program. I admit that it's not clear under what timeframe and whether those are people seeking refuge from the Syrian civil war. But his statement was a lie.
Donald Trump seemed to be hanging back. I missed the old fire last night.
Marco Rubio was scripted. It seemed obvious to me. He was speaking way too fast and was radically different from the man I have followed before this debate.
And Marc, you are wrong on immigration. When you look at the number of immigrants compared to the population America does not look as generous as you claimed. According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, the United States ranks 19th with these immigrants, making up about 0.33% of the total population.
And Jeb Bush? He was lying when he claimed the school voucher program was started under his Florida governorship.
I am glad Ben Carson is a doctor. Finally we have someone who makes sense about vaccines not causing autism. Sarah Palin was outrageously dishonest when she claimed vaccines cause mental retardation.
Poor Ted Cruz. He was way off (again!) in his lambasting of the Iran diplomatic treaty.
Actually, Ted, the 24-day window you referred to only comes into play if Iran and the IAEA are not able to agree on access to a particular site.
And by the way, all provisions of the agreement will be monitored by the IAEA, an agency not inclined to let nations off the hook for non-compliance in nuclear power matters.
