Fox Should Ask the GOP Candidates These Questions at Tonight's Debate

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/01/fox-should-ask-these-questions-at-gop-debate

Donald Trump

* When you appeared on the talk show of conspiracy theory promoter Alex Jones, you told him that his "reputation is amazing" and added, "I will not let you down." Jones has championed many conspiratorial notions, including that the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School never happened and that the attacks on the World Trade Center were an inside job. So what's "amazing" about him?

* Why did you cut a deal with Amar Mammadov—an Azerbajani businessman accused of cronyism and profiting off his family's ties to the government—to open a new Trump hotel in Baku?

* How many new government employee will be needed to implement your plan to bar Muslims from entering the nation? Given that any would-be terrorist who happens to be Muslim would likely lie about his or her religion to reach the United States, you couldn't rely on the statements provided by foreigners trying to get into the United States. So then wouldn't you need an army of federal workers to investigate each person coming into the United States? And how much would this anti-Muslim program cost?

* Can you now explain what the nuclear triad is?

Ted Cruz

* Your father, Rafael Cruz, who is an evangelical pastor, has often resorted to fiery, if not extremist, rhetoric. He has called the United States a "Christian nation," and he has said that President Barack Obama is an "outright Marxist" who "seeks to destroy all concept of God" and should be sent "back to Kenya." Most of us would not want to be judged on the basis of what a relative says. But you have extensively used your father as a campaign surrogate and to recruit religious leaders as supporters of your campaign. Would you disavow these comments?

Trump: At one time, your legacy would have been "jet setter playboy". Now it will be "racist Mussoline wannabe. Did you always want to be remembered that way?

Cruz: Exactly where is your slime gland located?

Rubio: are you still going to try to sound like Patton after you reach puberty?

Jeb! Why don't you use some of your campaign money to buy a clue?

Christie: what's for dinner?

Carson: Are you awake?

Kasich: John who?
