Rubio hammers Obama's 'left-wing' climate policies

By Devin Henry - 09/16/15 11:20 PM EDT

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and some of his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination slammed the Obama administration’s climate policies during a short exchange on the matter during their Wednesday night debate. 

“We’re not going to destroy our economy the way the left-wing government we’re under wants to do,” Rubio said. “Every proposal they put forward are proposals that will make it harder to do business in America, that will make it harder to create jobs in America.”

 

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said he wouldn’t insist on a “massive government intervention” to deal with climate change, but rather make clean energy “economically feasible” by expanding nuclear, natural gas and solar power as president. 

Christie, Rubio and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker all hit Obama for pushing climate change policies designed to cut greenhouse gas emissions, something they warned will wreak havoc on the American economy.

“We shouldn’t be destroying our economy in order to chase some wild left-wing idea that somehow, us, by ourselves are going to fix the climate,” Christie said. 

Rubio, who has vowed to undo Obama’s landmark climate rules for power plants if he’s elected president, said he’s not skeptical of the science behind climate change, an accusation leveled against him by debate moderator Jake Tapper. 

Rather, he said, he’s concerned about the impact Obama’s policies will have on the economy. 

“I know the impact those are going to have, and those are all going to be on our economy,” he said. 

“They will not do a thing to lower the rise of the sea, they will not do a thing to cure the drought here in California, but what they will do is make America a more expensive place to create jobs.”

The three candidates discussed climate change for only about 4 minutes on Wednesday night. Except for one question directed at Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) during the first “happy hour” debate last month, it was the first time the GOP candidates have discussed the issue during their two debates this cycle.

GOP debate winners and losers

 

By Niall Stanage - 09/17/15 12:54 AM EDT

The second Republican debate on Wednesday night was a marathon, running for three hours at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, Calif. Who crossed the line strong and who stumbled along the way?

WINNERS

Carly Fiorina

Fiorina seized her big moment, having moved up from the “B-team” forum to which she was confined at the first debate in Cleveland last month. If expectations were high for Fiorina, she surpassed them with an engaged, passionate performance. A forceful denunciation of Planned Parenthood might have been her standout moment in terms of connecting with the Republican electorate at an emotional level. But she also scored highly throughout, in moments as diverse as discussing foreign policy on one hand, and mixing it up with Donald Trump on the other.

Marco Rubio

Rubio had a strong night, especially on foreign policy, where he showed real depth. He also more than once laid out positions that were somewhat similar to those of his mentor, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, but delivered with much greater crispness. For example, after Bush meandered through a defense of speaking Spanish on the campaign trail, Rubio argued that it was important for Spanish-speaking voters to hear conservative arguments “directly from me, not from a translator at Univision.” Rubio’s performance at the first debate was also well-received yet made little difference to his polling numbers. Could he get a bump this time?

Chris Christie

For all the negative attention Christie has received recently, he has considerable political skills, not least that he is a formidable debater. His best moment came during an exchange between Fiorina and Trump about their respective business careers. The New Jersey governor, forceful as ever, insisted that “for the 55-year-old construction worker out in that audience tonight who doesn't have a job, who can't fund his child's education, I've got to tell you the truth: They could care less about your careers.” No-one knows whether Christie’s performance will change his fortunes with GOP voters who have proven impervious to his charms so far. But he had a good night by any measure.

Ben Carson

Carson went into the debate as the closest challenger to Trump in the polls, with the GOP electorate warming up to his low-key, affable style. Carson did not deviate from that path on Wednesday. He didn’t have any single great moment, but it was a proficient performance. And Carson did show that, despite his laidback style, he can be quick on his feet.  After Trump expressed his skepticism about vaccines, a smiling Carson shot back, “He’s an OK doctor” — a phrase that Trump had used only days before about Carson, an acclaimed former  neurosurgeon.

Ted Cruz

Cruz appealed to the party faithful on Wednesday with a robust defense of the right to bear arms and a vigorous condemnation of the Iran nuclear deal, among other matters. Cruz also showed that he has as strong a command of TV debating technique as anyone in the field — including looking directly into the camera rather than at audience members. It remains unclear if he can expand his support beyond the most conservative reaches of the GOP, but he had a good night.

Donald Trump

Trump was nowhere near as dominant a presence as he was at the first debate, in part because he came under much more sustained attack from his rivals. Trump had some unsteady moments, including one instance when he appeared to suggest he would get himself better informed about threats facing the United States between now and potentially assuming the presidency. He also slid away from his recent personal criticisms of Fiorina by insisting that “she has a beautiful face” — hardly a remark that would win over his own detractors. But he was, on balance, a winner for two reasons. Firstly, for all the punches thrown at him, none put him on the canvas. Secondly, he again got under the skin of Jeb Bush, likely deepening the troubles for the favorite candidate of the GOP establishment.

MIXED

John Kasich

The Ohio governor has been trying to overtake Bush as the establishment choice, and he seemed to be trying to present himself as an electable grown-up. He had his moments but, as one of the lesser-known candidates nationwide, he needs to make a significant impact every time he is in front of a big national audience. He didn’t appear to do so on Wednesday evening.

Mike Huckabee

Huckabee has a very different ideological appeal to Kasich, but there are some stylistic similarities: They are both somewhat folksy politicians who can be very effective communicators. But Huckabee suffered from a similar problem to Kasich: although he had some strong moments — the Kim Davis controversy is almost tailor-made for him — it seems unlikely that he attained any real breakthrough.

LOSERS

Scott Walker

The Wisconsin governor has been falling precipitously in the polls, in part because his performance at the first debate was widely seen as lacking fire and charisma. Walker came out of the gate impressively on Wednesday night with a jab at Trump — “We don’t need an apprentice in the White House.” But he mostly faded after that. His showing wasn’t as bad as it was in Cleveland but he did nothing that looked likely to turn around his ailing fortunes.

Rand Paul

Paul was put on his heels at the start of the night when Trump mocked him for, allegedly, not deserving to be on the stage at all. To be fair to Paul, his performance was not objectively bad. It just did nothing to change the minds of a Republican electorate that seems strongly disinclined to back him.

Jeb Bush

The consensus going into Wednesday night’s debate was that Bush needed an animated, commanding performance to erase memories of his hesitant showing in Cleveland. Instead, he delivered more of the same. His remarks on Supreme Court Justice John Roberts, in particular, seemed confused and contradictory. A defensiveness also crept into responses over his brother’s record. And while Bush tried to challenge Trump more assertively than in the first debate, the businessman got the better of most of their exchanges. Bush’s performance, taken in isolation, was not the worst on the stage. But it was far below what might be expected from a man who was the clear GOP front-runner not so long ago.

I don't think Christie and Rubio should be under winners but they did talk quite a bit.

[FreedomRider]

They are both RINOs and irritate  me. They are all talk. They are both puppets and have proven that in the past.

Trump: Foes 'got no air time' in debate

By Mark Hensch

 

GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump said on Thursday that he dominated CNN’s attention during the second Republican presidential debate.

 

“I thought I was on too much,” he said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “I felt badly for everyone else.”

“Every question had to do with me,” Trump said. “I mean, everything was about Trump. It was a little bit unfair to a lot of other people, frankly.”

“A lot of them are friends of mine and they got, they got no air time last night,” he added of the other Republican presidential contenders. “It was really a little bit wild. But from my standpoint, I was treated fairly.”

The New York Times reported that there is some truth to Trump’s argument that he received the most attention from CNN during the debate.

It found that Trump received the most speaking time of any candidate with 20 minutes and seven seconds. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, it added, clocked in at a distant second with 16 minutes and 48 seconds of his own.

Trump also argued on Thursday morning that he was impressed by the showings most of his opponents gave on Wednesday night’s debate stage in Simi Valley, Calif.

“I thought there was nobody who did poorly,” the real estate tycoon said. “But I was involved with virtually every question.”

Trump said he was especially impressed by Wednesday’s night’s only female participant, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina.

“I think that Carly did well,” he said. “I thought she did well too but I didn’t see it as a standout.”

Fiorina and Trump sparred during Wednesday night’s contest about his comment about her face and their mutual business records.

Trump admitted on Thursday that he expected a bigger battle with Bush.

“I thought [Bush] did fine,” he said. “I thought he did very well. I thought he was going to push me harder to apologize to his wife.”

Bush attacked Trump Wednesday night for repeatedly mentioning his wife Columba Bush’s Mexican heritage on the campaign trail earlier this summer.

Trump has charged Bush with softness on illegal immigration because of his wife’s ancestry on multiple occasions.

The outspoken billionaire then praised retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson for agreeing with him that vaccinations may have a role in autism during Wednesday night’s contest.

“I just like [Ben Carson] as a person, frankly,” Trump said. “And I thought his whole thing on autism where he backed me up was terrific.”

CNN breaks ratings record with GOP debate

 

By Bradford Richardson - 09/17/15 01:28 PM EDT

CNN’s primetime GOP debate on Wednesday was the most-watched program in network history, according to CNN Money.

Nearly 23 million people tuned in to the three-hour debate, easily surpassing the network’s previous pinnacle of 16.8 million viewers, a broadcast of "Larry King Live" in 1993.

CNN’s most-watched presidential primary debate, in 2008, drew 8.3 million viewers.

CNN anticipated the ratings bonanza, selling ad spots during the debate at a rate more than 40 times their normal fare.

Donald Trump, who participated in the debate, took credit for the surplus and sent a letter to CNN President Jeff Zucker calling on him to donate proceeds from the debate to charity.

He attributed the increase in viewers to his presence on the debate stage.

 

The second debate was not as highly rated as the first one hosted by Fox News last  month, which drew 24 million viewers and was the most-watched cable news program in history.

CNN bested Fox News in early debate coverage with 6.3 million viewers, compared to Fox News's 6.1 million.

Zucker will never donate it to charity.

ISSUES: LABOR

To achieve fairness and opportunity for American workers, we need to stop the corrosive influence big-labor has on our economy and our government. Growing the economy requires a comprehensive approach, and labor reforms are a key part of this equation. My plan to reform our nation’s outdated labor laws will check the power of the big-government special interests, empower individuals, and protect taxpayers. It will achieve this by:

• Reducing the power of big union bosses by eliminating the National Labor Relations Board
• Eliminating big-government federal unions and making government work for the people
• Protecting employee rights by changing the default position in federal law to be Right to Work for all private, state, and local public-sector workers
• Saving taxpayers money by repealing Davis-Bacon wage controls and breaking the union monopoly on federal highway projects
