The eighth Republican debate has yielded the usual howlers, which would be funny if the candidates were not in line to be president of the world's most powerful country.

Donald Trump

“The police are absolutely mistreated in America. The police in this country have done an unbelievable job of keeping law and order.”

Err, right. And that's exactly why the Black Lives Matter movement is actually a thing, ain't it, Trumpy?

Ted Cruz

“In short we’re going to build a wall, triple the border control, and I’ve got someone in mind to do it.” (Looking at Trump)

What a great idea! Just the solution to the record numbers of refugees currently displaced due to war, conflict, food insecurity and global warming.

Jeb Bush

“I’d like to see more millionaires.”

The richest 62 people in the world controlling the same amount of wealth as the bottom 3.6 billion just isn't enough for this whopper!

Donald Trump

"I would bring back waterboarding and I would bring back a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding."

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! What else is there to say?

via GIPHY

 

Marco Rubio

“We should be putting more people in Guantanamo, not cleaning it out.”

Great timing, Marco!

via GIPHY

Jeb Bush

 

“Without the United States nothing seems to work.”

Whose brain doesn't work? Yuuup!

via GIPHY

Ted Cruz

“Socialized medicine is a disaster. It does not work.”

Perhaps that's why the World Health Organization ranks the U.S. behind Cuba on its life-expectancy list?

Marco Rubio

“Free enterprise is the only system that will make the poor people richer without making the rich people poorer.”

Nice logic, Rubio.

via GIPHY

 

Donald Trump

"Eminent domain is an absolute necessity for our country." 

Jeb Bush responded, 

"What Trump tried to do was use eminent domain to take the property of an elderly woman ... to turn it into a limousine parking lot for a casino is not for the public good."

via GIPHY

Just... WOW!
