The third GOP Debate - an economy-focused event: Did the candidates get the memo?




CNBC, repeatedly, announced that the third GOP debate would focus on economic factors. It was unfortunate that Republican 2016 presidential candidates didn’t get the memo!

The candidates' debate performances were loaded with tricks and no treats!

Every time they couldn’t give an honest or rational response to a question, they blamed the moderators and the media!?!?

They dodged questions; outright lied, and regurgitated GOP anti--Obama, anti-Hillary, anti-government, talking points throughout the entire debate!?!?

Rubio, arrogantly, discarded the fact that he’s collecting a paycheck for not reporting to work in the US Senate without blinking an eye!?!?

Donald didn’t know that he criticized Rubio on an economically-related factor on his own campaign website!?!?

Ben woke up to deny his involvement with a controversial nutritional supplement company despite his touting the company’s products in promotional videos!?!?

Christie, boisterously, displayed his lack of knowledge about how the Social Security system works with the misstatement that Social Security would be insolvent in 7-8 years. His lack of knowledge that in the unlikelihood that funds would be exhausted (14 - 19 years, not 7-8), the program could still pay out 73 percent of benefits several decades beyond was pathetic!?!?

Cruz - the Shut Down the Government to Wreak Havoc on the Economy King - displayed his ignorance about the economy by   falsely claiming that women’s wages decreased under Obama, when in fact latest figures show that women’s wages increased.

Carly resurrected her outrageously false Baby Body Drama with an equally outrageous statement that women loss jobs in President Obama’s first term when the fact is that women and men gained jobs by the end of Obama’s first term!?!?

Jeb flexed his lack of knowledge about how state-level economic factors work claiming a 1.3 million job growth figure that had nothing to do with his gubernatorial economic policies and everything to do with the national housing bubble!?!?

More Republican presidential candidates’ economic fantasies, fallacies, scowls and howls can be found within the Sources below.

Happy Halloween?
