Trying to decide on the proper title for this debate...
Current options:
I'm Carly Fiorina, listen to me or I'll just keep talking
Who wants a shot at Trump
I'm Jeb Bush and I think John Roberts is amazing, but no really I'm a conservative.
(Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ...
The previous "debate" with Meghan Kelly & Co. was a farce.
BTW, I'm a Trump fan but I don't think Trump was treated unfairly tonight at all by CNN nor was this an "attack Trump" night.
This has actually been a very informative debate.
It really pains me to say that CNN has done a much better job running this debate than Fox News.
“It’s about the issues, STUPID!”
We don’t care about Snarly Carly, or Jebby ‘cry baby’ Bush, or Pauly Rand...
Let the people hear about the issues, so the people can decide!!!
I have already made up my mind, but there are a lot of people out there that haven’t, that’s what these debates are suppose to be about....
"We're not perfect, but a Hell of a lot better than the Democrats".
The Left Wins Again.
It was so pathetic, I had to turn it off.
All this was, was the Left getting the Right to fight with each other. Nothing substantive about the issues at hand: the tyranny of the mostly unconstitutional $4 trillion federal government, abortion and unconscionable treatment of the unborn, economic disaster becasue of minimum ware, regulations, unions, and taxes (talked a little about that). But it is obvious that CNN’s marching orders were to keep the candidates fighting amongst each other - that way the real issues remain examined.
Sick and stupid.
“The One with the “Traditional” republican audience”

I was in and out of the house for most of the debate but Carly got good shots in, though I disagree with her “definition of a good leader is the person who unlocks other people’s potential” ... no. A good leader is the person who lays down his life for those he serves; i.e. selflessness equals true authority. Didn’t like Carly’s NWO corporate-cheerleader-talking-points as they violate classic Western definitions of leadership. On radio the debate sounded like it hiccuped on lots of petty bickering; and of course, seemed like every question was about Trump.
Trump is doing OK, but doesn’t seem to be on his “A” game tonight.
I Heard the audience was shipped in and paid for by the RNC to make sure they didn’t clap for Trump.
“Donald Trump Hunting Party”
I’m no genius but a guy with a third of the vote would usually get good applause.
and why dont the masses get Cruz? he’s great. oh well.
So clearly Trump is the winner of this debate. However, I have been very impressed by Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, Marco Rubio and even Chris Christie - who I wanted to not like.
Jebbie just looks awful out there. He did nothing to help himself tonight. Carly had some very good answers but she comes across as a pompous know-it-all. Ben Carson was mostly flat and didn't help himself. Rand Paul had his moments.
As for the rest, they didn't make much of an impression on me. Was Scott Walker even in this debate?
So Trump was the big winner. The much feared "Trump Attack" never came. They didn't lay a glove on him.
I absolutely believe it!
Heard similar things.
Invitation only due to limited seating...
I think Carly did a good job too responding to her being criticized about her tenure at HP.
Jeb! is a joke, truly boring and put me to sleep with his rhetoric.
A long way to 2016, it'll be fun and exciting to watch.
Trump got crickets, from what I heard. Paid GOPe audience? I don’t know but it was a psych out. Not sure why that’s true about Cruz
CNN picked a “traditional republican” audience. i.e., rinos. That’s why.
