Here’s What The 2016 Presidential Candidates Had To Say
With less than a week until South Carolina’s Republican Primaries, Noted South Carolina Political Reporter Gamecock Tadwell wonders why Political Insiders have to watch all those Sunday TV Talk Shows to hear what the 2016 Candidates were saying this morning after last night’s Nastiest Debate in History, when those Bombastic Bloggers at The Hill did all that work reviewing this morning’s programs.
2016 RACE
CRUZ: MAKE THE 2016 ELECTION A REFERENDUM ON THE SUPREME COURT (Cruz said “fundamental rights” are in the balance.)
CRUZ: TRUMP WILL GET RID OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT (“It is abundantly clear that Donald Trump is not a conservative,” Cruz said.)
RUBIO: CRUZ PATTERN OF LYING DISTURBING (This pattern of saying things that just aren’t true has become very disturbing.)”
RUBIO PUSHES BACK ON CRUZ: ‘I’VE NEVER SUPPORTED’ FORCING WOMEN INTO COMBAT (“That’s absurd,” Rubio said on “Fox News Sunday.”)
RUBIO PINS 9/11 ON BILL CLINTON’S ‘DECISION NOT TO TAKE 
OUT BIN LADEN’ (“Had bin Laden been taken out, it is doubtful that 9/11 would have happened.”)
POLL: RUBIO WON GOP DEBATE (Thirty-two percent picked the Florida senator in an overnight poll.)
TRUMP DODGES ON WHETHER GEORGE W. BUSH SHOULD HAVE BEEN IMPEACHED “(I don’t even think about it,” Trump said.)
TRUMP DRAWS DISTINCTION BETWEEN CRITICISM OF IRAQ WAR AND GEORGE W. BUSH (Trump said South Carolina voters “understand that the war in Iraq is a disaster.” )
JEB: BROTHER’S NOMINATION OF ROBERTS CAN BE DEFENDED (“I think the lesson learned is you pick someone with a proven, longstanding record.”)
KASICH: GOP DEBATE A DEMOLITION DERBY’ (Kasich called the debates ridiculous, saying they are not a way to pick a president.)”
SANDERS: WALL STREET BUYING INFLUENCE WITH HILLARY (“Obviously, I don’t think there’s any debate,” he said.)
SANDERS TOUTS AGENDA TO ATTRACT BLACK VOTERS (Sanders said his proposals would work “for all Americans.”)
SANDERS NARROWS THE GAP IN SOUTH CAROLINA (A new online CBS News poll shows Clinton leading by 19 points.)
ONLINE POLL: TRUMP UP BY 22 POINTS IN SC (Sen. Ted Cruz is in second place in the Palmetto State.)
SUPREME COURT NOMINEE
RUBIO: ‘IT’S PRETTY CLEAR’ SENATE WON’T ACT ON NOMINEE (“We’re not moving forward on it, period,” he said.)
SCHUMER: AMERICANS ‘DON’T LIKE THIS OBSTRUCTION’ (The Democrat blasted Mitch McConnell over Supreme Court nominee.)
OBAMACARE
TOP REPUBLICAN: WE HAVE FAILED TO DELIVER OBAMACARE ALTERNATIVE (Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) says its one of Speaker Ryan’s top priorities.
DEFENSE
GOP LAWMAKER: OBAMA HOLLOWED OUT OUR MILITARY (Rep. Michael Turner (R-Ohio) says military readiness has declined under Obama’s watch.)
Best Of All, Last Night, We Didn’t Have To Watch SNL’s “Hillary For President Cold Open”
Hillary Clinton (Kate McKinnon) laments Bernie Sanders’ popularity with young people (Aidy Bryant, Taran Killam, Kyle Mooney, Vanessa Bayer, Cecily Strong) through a performance of “I Can’t Make You Love Me.”
