I didn't get to watch much of it. Had to work. But my favorite line of the night from what I saw was by Rubio. "I think Bernie Sanders would make a great president ... of Sweden. We don't want to be Sweden ..."

Sweden is a constitutional monarchy, of course, so Rubio is a good comedian.
He likely does not understand what a Constitutional Monarchy is.

Ahhh the xenophobia abounds. I'd rather be like Sweden than like Texas. That aint exactly setting the bar high though, is it?

Any time a politician in the U.S. says "We don't want to be like those (insert any foreign country here) he's going to get applause from the xenophobes. It's just really throwing red meat to the faithful but it's stupid and short sighted. If another nation has solutions to real problems that we can and should learn from, then we should learn from them. Rubio is just tossing red meat to the rednecks.
Rubio is a smart visionary- he'd be a great president.

Doesn't speak all the highly of Hillary and the Democrats then when she responded to Bernie and his socialism in a debate saying We are not Denmark.
Too bad he is not Constitutionally eligible.

Yes, and that solution is "have a small population, don't go to war for 100 years, have lots of natural resources"
Sound advice on one of those at least.
He did not even say they did have a solution to a problem, he said "IF" they did we should consider it, not dismiss it simply because we don't want to be like them.
Yes, he is.

Rand Paul is 100% wrong on this one:
While Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul said he didn't "blame Hillary Clinton at all" for her husband's past transgressions, he did seek to paint her as a hypocrite.
"I don't think she's responsible for his behavior," Paul said. "But I do think that her position as promoting women's rights and fairness to women in the workplace -- that if what Bill Clinton did any CEO in our country did with an intern, with a 22-year-old, 21-year-old intern in their office they would be fired."
To loud applause, Paul added: "They would never be hired again."
It's the intern who would be fired, not the CEO, and to think that a CEO who sexually harassed employees would never be hired again in laughable.

The price of gas is $5.80/gallon in Stockholm. I'll take Texas lol.
I agree, but the fact is that neither of his parents were citizens at the time of his birth. He was an anchor baby.
I had one of the best weeks of my life in Sweden.
I love the Swedish people. Id pay $7.00 a gallon for gas for some of what I experienced in Sweden.

The only advantage Texas has over Sweden is winter.
