I cant see it. He never had the chance to prove himself.
The MSM managed to make him even more popular though.

People are sick and tired and very angry about these dolts thumping their chest and yelling ME ME ME.

That was a debate? Could have fooled me.

We want the presidency, but not with another Dole, McCain or Romney type of candidate.

An unscientific web-poll on Newsmax (which has been in the tank for Trump since day one)? Yawn.

The tradition of Presidential debates may be coming to an end.

I don’t buy the results or I do and the results are just all over the place, which is probably the way a lot of people saw it.

Ben is a fine man, won it though? I don’t think so.

Another post from C ofa C (who has been anti-Trump since day one)? Yawn.

Pretty much every ‘American’ tradition is coming to an end.

The establishment are going bonkers. Every online poll has Trump blowing away the field. The thing is that Trump is appealing to a lot of apolitical people who they can’t control. Go to any sports/pop culture website and a lot of 20 year old types like Trump a lot and get a kick out of Trump and understand his language which is mocked by politicos as shallow.

This was not a debate. Debates are when the individuals involved debate one another. Here it was nothing more than answering questions from so called “journalists” trying to entrap the candidates into questions not remotely concerned with the process—electing the next republican for president. Fox is a crock, and Megyn “Jelly” Kelley is a joke. It was about the “moderators,” not about the candidates or ferreting out the views of the candidates pertinent to the race. What a joke.

Shame on you Ailes, Wallace, Bair, Rove, and the rest of you wolves in sheep clothing at Fox.

Dear Retarts,

Trump fights back against the bought and paid for establishment republicans and media. He doesn’t cowar.

Imagine if your opponent had a couple million dollars to dig through your email and collect a couple quotes out of context to destroy you.

Trump is fighting the corruption. He needs us and if your to f’n stupic to get it, then you are part of the problem.

Go Cruz!

Yup, I have opposed him from day one. And still do.

But what does that have to do with this being a completely meaningless poll?

When all the unscientific polls say the exact same thing it gets pretty scientific.

I vote in those polls sometimes and I had no idea which candidate they support. I get the links in emails. I think you are just very anti-Trump.

To me the good thing that came out of this so called debate is that Ted Cruz got a little higher in the ratings and had, I think, the most hits on search engines. People might be waking up a little about him. I could live with Trump but would prefer Cruz.

What I’d really like is for a conservative organization to host a real debate, where the candidates get to have a little more time and also get to challenge other candidates ideas. Film it and post it on youtube and bypass the corrupt media.

Thank God you are here to point out the unscientific nature of this poll...
