Guests welcome to vote
I think Cruz acquitted himself well enough but he needed a bravura performance to get into the top tier.
I think much of the support for individual candidate's performance as revealed by the snap polls represents not so much a judgment on the quality of their performance but a predilection for the candidate himself. Support for Trump in my view is of that kind.
I am not a Trump supporter. Trump however moved up several notches tonight in my book because he made the point after everyone else says we can’t deport 11 million people that we are either a country of laws or we are not.
I love Cruz but if doesn’t make it I hope Trump does.
Definitely Trump and Cruz. My first and second choice.
I thought Trump's overall demeanor was lackluster and as a matter of histrionics I do not think he performed well as others, especially Carly Fiorina.
For Trump. Cruz won.
Cruz. But debates do not mean much to me. I give more weight to a solid conservative track record - something that only Cruz has.
Trump WILL get the bump!
Carly is not my choice. She is not what I like to see or hear as a woman. It is hard to get past her lecturing on her experience making her BEST. She reminds me of some teachers who were so SNARLY. Snarly Carly?
Sorry just can not agree on her.
Trump and Cruz are the only candidates of any real substance. Slick talk does not mean you will effect any kind of change.
I think he tried to look the role of President tonight...maybe it will give him some new votes.
He definitely was not aggressive tonight.
Carly demonstrated what? Sorry, your post was poisoned by the hieroglyphics.
When he questioned Carly on “butting in”...it was needed. She went over her time repeatedly and no amount of buzzer would stop her.
Do you think Trump might come here?
Carly Fiorina was the clear winner, she was the most articulate, she provided clearest most comprehensive responses to the questions which were consistent from answer to answer.
She went right to the heart of the matter and provided a comprehensive solution. She never misspoke, she was eloquent, she was quick and she was thorough.
I support Ted Cruz but Fiorina won on the merits.
I’m counting on it!
I’m going to a political meeting tomorrow night....hopefully will find out.
Did you see any polls to vote in tonight...not Drudge when I looked.
“I support Ted Cruz but Fiorina won on the merits.”
You’ve got to be kidding. She was obnoxious, butting in all the time on everyone. And she does that at all debates she’s participated in. I sincerely don’t like Snarly at all. She’s condescending and is not liked by many. She will get nowhere in these Primaries, nowhere at all.
According to Fox News Barack-0 Rubio won, with Snarly Fiorina and Sleepy Carson tied for a close second. Cruz and Trump, the only candidates worth a flip, stayed even.
Rand Paul: “Isolationist won’t sell to the “base.” Real Meaning: The GOPe wants war.”
FNC on Bush: “Jeb is a substantive man, debates are not his forte, it’s not over until it’s over.”
Personal Observation:
If a stagehand had walked over and cold-cocked Kasich, he would have won the debate hands down.
She won nothing. She is an accomplished speaker. That's all she's done in the long years since they canned her and no one offered her another CEO job. So what? She sounded bitchy. She interrupted people. She showed her warmonger side again. The GOPe-insider crowd cheered. Watch as she gains nothing in the polls.
Every single debate so far just reminds of a different season of The Apprentice, and Trump knows it. The back stabbing, who is the alphas, who waits for the rest to make mistakes, and also the ones that have skills but overall, and OVERALL Trump has the skills.
Lets just hold the elections now.
I agree.But I think that Cruz knocked Kasich out of the game.
