21 Hilarious and WTF Moments From the GOP Debate

By Tessa Stuart, Rolling Stone

"I'll buy you a tequila. Or even some famous Colorado brownies," said Ted Cruz at Wednesday's CNBC debate

he third Republican debate took place Wednesday evening at the Coors Event Center at the University of Colorado, Boulder. It felt long — so long that our entire lives flashed before our eyes, and by the end of it we were walking with our five grandkids through the charred remains of America with the voice of Mike Huckabee echoing somewhere in the distance. By the end of it, the only thing we needed to hear was that Donald Trump had convinced CNBC to limit it from going any longer, and we were ready to elect him our benevolent dictator for life.

Here are the 21 most notable moments.

  1. "If you want someone to grab a beer with, I may not be that guy. But if you want someone to drive you home, I'll get the job done." - Ted Cruz

  2. "What is this, a French work week?" - Jeb Bush, attacking Marco Rubio about missing Senate votes

  7. "They shouldn't automatically assume that because you believe marriage is between one man and one woman, you're a homophobe." - Ben Carson

  8. "I don't know. You people write this stuff." - Donald Trump, feigning ignorance about where moderator Becky Quick found his quote calling Marco Rubio "Mark Zuckerberg's personal senator." (It's on his campaign website.)

  9. "The Democrats have the ultimate super PAC — it's called the mainstream media." - Marco Rubio

  10. "Drugs is one of the greatest scourges in this country." - John Kasich

  11. "I like to be unpredictable." - Donald Trump on carrying a gun, sometimes

  12. "I love Donald Trump. He's a good man. I'm wearing a Trump tie tonight." - Mike Huckabee
