I think the insider crew for the Republicans....the lobbyists and special interest groups who run the real party...are a bit shocked. Trump was supposed to be finished off by this point. He’s gaining traction. If he comes out ahead in Iowa and New Hampshire....I think five or six of these guys (including Bush) can go ahead and stop their campaign efforts.

This is hilarious...the Fox team clearly set out to make Trump look like a terrible person. Even if he didn’t “blow his top”...the questions were designed to simply throw as much mud at him as possible.

And the viewers are, in fact, completely disgusted. With Fox News...epic backfire...LOL!

> “Catherine McDonald, of Atlanta, ... As for Trump: “I don’t take him seriously as a candidate. I think he’s about sound bites, I think he’s about promoting himself,” she said. “I really don’t feel he is who we would need running the country.””

Meanwhile the majority of women in America are telling Media Douchebag MeGYN Kellhole what she can do with her boob job in response to the way she treated Donald:

Megyn, your disdain for Trump has always been obvious, but to be in the position tonight that you’re in at the debate, and to start your questioning with Donald J. Trump the way you did...that’s what a liberal would do. I’ve lost all respect for you. I expected better from a Fox News employee. Especially you.

WTF was that!? How unprofessional! You attacked Trump on personal issues....FOX and the GOP are treating Trump unfairly. If he decides to go 3rd Party? it will be YOUR fault for not giving him a fair shake! It’s pretty clear, FOX and the GOP are railroading Trump......

I did not watch the debates, but everything I’ve read indicates that Trump stole the spot light again. Heh!

In the same way many Bernie Sanders supporters believe they will realistically have Hillary Clinton as their eventual nominee, today's Trump backers know they will, in the end, have a different nominee, but want to make their point to party leaders nevertheless, Erickson said.

Speak for yourself Mr. Erickson. I expect to have Trump keep pulling away from the pack.

One big question is does he announce his cabinet before the election? A total break with tradition, but maybe a good move. He picks up supporters from a dozen rivals.

Anyone who liked what they saw from Sen Paul was likely already a Paulian.

"...even his refusal to rule out a third-party run should he not win the Republican nomination, the crowd responded with among the biggest cheers of the night."

Let's put that claim to the test. Here's the question, Trump's raised hand, the response from the crowd, Paul's interruption, Trump's verbal reply and the crowd's response again to that.

I hope we get Cruz, but if he can’t bust out they probably have to seriously vote Trump.
If both of them go down, the country IMO is rather screwed as to who probably gets in.

But does that mean conservatives are actually ready to vote for him for president? Erickson says probably not, explaining that their current willingness to support Trump is more of a message to the Republican Party establishment than an actual embrace of the New York developer-turned-reality TV star.

In the same way many Bernie Sanders supporters believe they will realistically have Hillary Clinton as their eventual nominee, today’s Trump backers know they will, in the end, have a different nominee, but want to make their point to party leaders nevertheless, Erickson said.


More “whistling while walking past the Graveyard” thinking going on here. Once people get emotionally invested in a candidate it is nearly impossible to change their minds.

Aren’t there usually some network flash polls after a debate like this?

Yet, none reported, with the time.com and drudge polls were heavily pro-Trump.

I’m thinking some polls were done, but they contradicted the “Trump blew it” narrative, so they’ll never see the light of day.

Erickson thinks we want to send the establishment a message. The only thing I want to tell the establishment is, rest in peace. They have been unfaithful too many times and the divorce is going to happen. The only thing left is to take everything I can get. I don’t want any promises to reform.

Then there was that slime, Frank Luntz’ focus group. This was a get Trump setup from the get go. Fox News really blew the debate and Megyn Kelly's post debate show continued the pile-on at Fox. This was a real hatchet job by Fox and they are deserving of the blowtorch of criticism they are getting. Megyn was not watchable and Luntz was a buffoon. Trump got in some great direct hits and Cruz was outstanding; Scott Walker not so much. Forget Marco Rubia and Rand Paul..

I always decide to consider it a semi-factual/accurate "amusement" column when they do the bit where they find two folks to quote who both support the meme that the target isn't a serious/worthy contender. Willing to bet they had to ignore a number of inputs because they were favorable to Trump....

GO CRUZ!!!
