CBS GOP S.C. Debate: on Principles & Values
Ted Cruz:
FactCheck: Yes, Cruz speaks Spanish & understands Univision
Marco Rubio accused Ted Cruz of being unable to understand Univision (a Spanish-language TV station); Cruz demonstrated Rubio wrong by responding in Spanish:- CRUZ: Marco went on Univision in Spanish and said he would not rescind Pres. Obama's
illegal executive amnesty on his first day in office.
- RUBIO: Well, I don't know how he knows what I said on Univision because he doesn't speak Spanish.
- CRUZ: ¨Marco, qu‚ quieres? Ahora mismo, en espa¤ol: ¨Qu‚ quieres? ["Marco, what do you want?
Right now, in Spanish, what do you want?"]
- RUBIO: Look, this is a disturbing pattern now, because for a number of weeks now, Ted Cruz has just been telling lies. And here is the truth, Ted Cruz supported legalizing people that were in this country.
Both Senators accused each other of lying; we won't comment on the other accusations, but Rubio was clearly incorrect in his assertion that Cruz speaks no Spanish.

Ben Carson:
2AM phone calls are about presidential judgement
As far as two a.m. phone calls are concerned, judgment is what is required. The kinds of things that you come up with are some sometimes difficult and very unique. One of the things I was known for is doing things
that have not been done before. No amount of experience prepares you to do something that has never been done before. That's where judgment comes in. That is the [type of] situation we're in now.

Donald Trump:
We should have impeached George W. Bush for Iraq War lies
Q: In 2008, talking about President George W. Bush's conduct of the war, you said you were surprised that Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi didn't try to impeach him: You added, "which personally I think would have been a wonderful thing." When you were
asked what you meant by that and you said: "For the war; he lied, he got us into the war with lies." Do you still believe President Bush should have been impeached.TRUMP: Obviously, the war in Iraq was a big, fat mistake. The war in Iraq, we spent
$2 trillion, thousands of lives, we don't even have it. Iran has taken over Iraq. Obviously, it was a mistake. George Bush made a mistake. We can make mistakes. But that one was a beauty. We should have never been in Iraq. We have destabilized the
Middle East.
Q: So you still think he should be impeached?
TRUMP: You call it whatever you want. I want to tell you, they lied. They said there were weapons of mass destruction, there were none. And they knew there were none.

Jeb Bush:
We need someone with a servant's heart and also a backbone
The next president is going to be confronted with an unforeseen challenge. It could be a pandemic, a major natural disaster or an attack on our country. I will have a steady hand as Commander in Chief. I will unite this country because
I did it as governor of Florida. When I was governor, we had eight hurricanes and four tropical storms in 16 months. We recovered faster than what people thought because we led. We need someone with a servant's heart that has a backbone.
