Much of the debate focused on Marco Rubio’s verbal software malfunction where he was caught repeatedly reciting the same talking points about President Obama. In a race to the bottom, Trump aced all his contenders promising to bring back the hideous practice of torture and ‘much worse’. Cruz attempting some bizarre legal jujitsu claimed that waterboarding was not torture. President Obama shares some of the blame for giving the Bush cartel a free pass for condoning torture practices. 86 prisoners have been cleared for release but are still languishing in Guantanamo’s dungeons. This is a dark stain on America’s sense of justice and a massive recruitment for Al-Qaida, ISIS and other affiliates. It is ironic that all the tough talk (torture, carpet bombing) comes from a group of morally bankrupt Republicans who have never experienced the horrors of war.
