AS IT IS 2016-03-05 Republicans Trade Insults at Latest Debate
Candidates traded insults, yelling, screaming, interrupting and mean talk at the latest Republican Party debate.
The debate, on Thursday evening in Detroit, was filled with yelling and personal insults.
Party front-runner Donald Trump1 debated with Senators Ted2 Cruz and Marco Rubio, and Ohio Governor John Kasich.
The candidates questioned the other candidates’ manhood. Trump called Rubio, “little Marco.” Rubio earlier in the week said Trump had small hands.
New York businessman Trump called Cruz “lying Ted.” Rubio looked at Trump and told him he mocks everybody. Trump returned an insult by calling Rubio, a “lightweight” and “a real con3 artist.”
Cruz and Rubio took the verbal fight to Trump. Cruz accused Trump of being “someone who has used government power for private gain.” Rubio said Trump is “trying to con people into giving him their vote.”
Cruz belittled4 Trump, saying: “I think that the American people understand that yelling and cursing at people doesn’t make you a tough guy.”
Kasich was low-key and stayed out of the verbal fight. He is trailing by a large margin5 in the polls.
“I have never tried to go and get into these kinds of scrums that we are seeing here,” Kasich said. “People say, wherever I go, ‘You seem to be the adult on stage.’ ”
