Emotionally, I think Trump won, but if you listened with any kind of a critical ear, it was a tie between Cruz and Rubio. Trumps soundbite answers without any substance plays well, but the act is getting a little old. Trump said nothing new tonight and his excuses on his tax returns were lame. If someone charged him with anything, say hiring illegals to work on his properties, his response was just to insult and bluster. Will Hillary just let that go? Will the media let him get away with it? I doubt it.

YMMV but that's my $.02

Mexican caudillos, Mexican drug lords, foul mouthed Mexican brats, Borgia-Leninist popes, ChiComs, London Moslems, Saudi princesses, Geriatric Old Plotters, dykes on mics, stormin’ Mormons, inflatable vinyl saints, Bohemian Grove squirrels, bankster donors, CFR proxies...

I’m wondering if Trump can withstand the weight of that much anti-American artillery trying to reduce him to globalist servitude? Really, will this be Thermophylae or Platea?

Good evening, Everyone.

I’m still voting for Cruz but even with his support, I will not vote for Rubio. I was disappointed when I saw that earlier.

Going to get less crowded soon. Why is DrBen and Kasich still in?

Money.

They've had enough on hand to make it this far, but that's over. I hear it costs about $3 Million a week in advertising to be competitive for Super Tuesday. There's no way that either one of them can maintain that spending level.

Brother, you sure have a way with words. I had to repost that list, it's so good :-)

In my opinion, Trump will hold up against the onslaught of the aforementioned Orcs. He's just that ornery of a cuss. The real enemies of the free world ain't seen nuthin yet.

Trump got hammered and exposed tonight for the fraud he is. Loved it.

Good evening Just Amy.

It beats anything I’ve seen. Cruz must have a lot of stuff on Trump he could touch on, but after nine debates, he still hasn’t touched him.

Next Tuesday is Super Tuesday, and Texas is in the mix.

None the less Trump stood there without serious challenge.

I don’t know what to tell you.

So what happened?

I voted for Cruz yesterday in early voting. Even though Rubio scored some points in the debate, he will be in trouble when he loses Florida. I would not vote for Amnesty boy, either. He is just this year’s flavor of GOPe.

Carson and Kasich are wasting money. The postman’s son made a few bucks at Lehman Brothers after he left Congress. Carson has no chance although I think he is good man.

I thought Trump looked bad in the debate tonight- no substance.

I think we're at the point in this contest where the old master needs to buckle down and bone up on delivering his policy statements with more detail and eloquence.

Bluster has carried him this far, but I think it's about exhausted. The elbows only get sharper from this point on, and he'll have to do a better job of combating his foes with sharper, fuller, and more substantive answers.

Oh, he got hammered, alright, but they didn't kill him, which is what they needed to do. At the end of the night, Trump dusted off his jacket, straightened his tie, and walked away with a smile.

The two juvenile delinquents couldn't even manage a proper drive-by shooting.

Rubio and Cruz both exposed what a substance-less windbag (health plan) Trump is, what a fraud (Trump University) and a hypocrite (hiring foreign workers) he is.

LOL, and all the polls show Trump at 60% to 77%.

I guess he got creamed alright.

I have a cousin near Amarillo; I think I will call him to see if he voted yet and if not I will ask who he is voting for. Hope he will tell me. LOL

I thought Trump got through another debate without telling us anything except what he is going to do. I would like some details.

Those online polls are what propelled Ron Paul on to the presidency.

I can tell you no one in my family is a Trump supporter. We are life-long Constitutionalists.

Just telling you, the public doesn’t see it like Freepers do.

Look at the primaries.

I don’t think they watch a debate and look for Trump mistakes.

They like him and don’t judge him heavily.

Rightly or wrongly, it seems that’s how they think.
