1. "Is Jeb holding up frankfurters? I'm hungry"

[cilla4progress]

2. The elephant

In the room

[Gregorian]

20. Haha.

I can't beat that. You win.

[SummerSnow]

3. " I just passed gas, wonder if they smell it?"

[november3rd]

10. This is the best !

Mind if I use it for a caption to this on Facebook?

[SummerSnow]

12. Yes you may, and thank you.

4. The Hateful Eight - Christy counts as two

[flor-de-jasmim]

5. Ben C. is the only one looking comfortable in his skin... or clothes.

[madinmaryland]

28. That's because he is stoned.

[Wounded Bear]

6. That's it, dammit. I'm suing Weight Watchers....nt

[Kip Humphrey]

7. looks like Ted Crude has been working on his power stance.

[Calista241]

18. Seriously! And Trump with that stern look on his face

With the pursed lips. You KNOW he sits in front of the mirror to practice that. Probably for hours.

[november3rd]

8. "I'm gonna kick your ass, Cruz, later, behind the studio!"

He and Cruz are the only two looking at each other.

Cruz seems to be smiling, and Christie, frowning.

9. Glad to see plenty of fat jokes here

Makes me feel wonderful walking around amid it all.

[Miles Archer]

27. For whatever it's worth, I don't see him as fat, I see him as a fucking thug.

What other people have to say about him is out of my control. If he lost a significant amount of weight I would see him as a slim fucking thug. My opinion of him could not be changed by his stepping on a scale.

11. Interesting...

Paul looks like he wants out of there, Christie looks like he wants to punch Cruz and/or Bush, Carson looks asleep, Cruz looks like he is trying to be taller and is tickled to be in the center, rubio looks like a little kid happy to be with the big boys, Bush is trying to look like the cool kid (and failing, miserably) and Kasick looks like he'd like to get away from bush. (But then, the original plan was a Bush-Kasick ticket and that just ain't gonna happen and Kasick hasn't the charisma to ever be first on the ticket).

[mercuryblues]

13. Even with

lifts in his shoes, I'm still taller than Rubio.

14. As one who has fought weight gain most of my earlier life, I'm not going to ridicule but merely ask:

I'd thought he'd had a gastric procedure which should have led to significant weight loss? I'm surprised he does not appear to have lost much (or any). I may not like him or his politics, but I do wish him success on that score.

[Grammy23]

25. He did have some type of bariatric surgery for weight loss.

Not sure how long ago that was....maybe two years? He did appear to lose weight for a while but as all of us who have struggled with weight issues know, keeping the pounds off is difficult. With bariatric surgery, you must follow the dietary/lifestyle changes forever or you risk regaining any weight you lost. I have known at least a couple of people who had bariatric surgery and successfully lost significant amounts of weight and kept the majority of it off.

Christie has been on the campaign trail for months. If he has not been sticking to his weight loss plan, chances are good he regained most if not all of what he lost. I try not to judge anyone about weight issues since I have dealt with the problem since my 40s. He certainly wanted to slim down if he would subject himself to surgery in order to lose weight....a procedure not without risk...including death.

15. Ben looks like his mommy dresses him...and therefore is the only one wearing a proper fitting suit

[dembotoz]

16. where the hell is trump...that asshole borrowed 20 bucks and still has not paid it back

[Blunt Force Karma]

17. Look at stupid Jeb

He's a bigger jerk than I am. Brain-wise, not weight-wise, I could sit on him and probably... where are my peanuts, I hope I didn't forget my peanuts.

[Javaman]

19. I don't know about christie but cruz has an enormous head. nt

[Gregorian]

21. I'm El Rotundo. You laugh, and I'll sit on your ass.

[Johonny]

22. Resist the urge...can't fight it. Christie smash. Must punch Jeb!

In other news Chris Christie punched Jeb! in the debate last night.

Wow, that must have hurt him in the polls.

No, up 2 points.

[JHB]

23. "Wait, I'm on the 'red tie' side...

...I should be over there."

[MindPilot]

24. Seriously, Rand, brown shoes?

Or are those tan socks and bedroom slippers?

[NCjack]

26. "Oh crap! At the break, I forgot to zip up my pants." /nt
