‘There was no tickets for the public.’

I’ve heard seats went for a million bucks - - -

[knarf]

NP ... I was thoroughly entertained last night

I'll say this (again)

The den o'craps have nothing to offer this country and the entire Presidential cabinet stood before us on that stage ....

Even the four also rans before the main event

[knarf]

I was acutely aware during the Kim Davis questioning, that no one said Kim WAS obeying Kentucky Constitutional LAW ... VOTED in by the people

As a matter of fact ... I guess I just don't understand what the law is anyway ....

The US Constitution says nothing about marriage

The Kentucky Constitution says marriage is between a man and a woman

The USSC OPINES same sex marriage equal to hetero marriage

THAT must be it ... an opinion trumps a Constitution ???

[Catsrus]

I noticed that too and that would have been a perfect opportunity for Rand Paul to jump in there - he is the Senator from KY.

[Gene Eric]

Trump knows the real audience is behind the lens of the camera — at least for this event.

[niteowl77]

Steve Deale has done a remarkable job of promoting himself as some sort of corn-fed king-maker, but I have long seen him as more of an internecine s**t-stirrer who simply gets a kick - and an audience, such as it is - out of getting other people to throw punches at each other.

Aw, come on, now.

Your throat didn’t tighten up a bit when Krispy said to turn the cameras on the audience?

It was like a Jerry Lewis telethon, I tell ya.

;D

[Arthur McGowan]

Because some people don’t like Carly Fiorina, she can never, never, never, ever, ever, ever do anything right. She can’t ever, ever, ever even perform well for a couple of hours.

[4Runner]

You know that sound female audiences in the U.S. now make? Don’t know when it actually started, maybe with Jerry Springer’s hand-picked audience, but they don ‘t applaud with their hands anymore. Instead, they “ululate” much like Muslim women in the Middle East do. I think it’s absolutely disgusting.

[Salamander]

Oh gawd, yes.

*That*.

Bleah!

Sometimes I feel like I’m trapped on the set of “The Running Man” and Richard Dawson is the host.

"Fiorina, Rubio, Christie and Cruz on top after debate"

Most of the Media have learned that they cannot attack Trump...he gives it right back and he ends up doing better. So these folks think they can ignore him in their headline?

hehehe...it will not impact Trump at all.

Look, Ted Cruz has my vote going away...but Trump is who he is and his brash attitude against the MSM and the RINO establishment has struck a chord...and it is resonating.

Here's the latest Drudge Poll about who won the debate last night. Those kind of numbers do not lie:

TRUMP 60.42% (270,221 votes)
FIORINA 16.18% (72,356 votes)
CRUZ 5.29% (23,655 votes)
RUBIO 5.15% (23,053 votes)
PAUL 4.44% (19,842 votes)
CARSON 3.9% (17,438 votes)
CHRISTIE 1.16% (5,168 votes)
BUSH 1.15% (5,139 votes)
KASICH 1.1% (4,905 votes)
WALKER 0.69% (3,104 votes)
HUCKABEE 0.52% (2,351 votes)

[RedHeeler]

Fiorina’s percentage is amazing. The US voter does not know who this moron is...that’s her strong suit, for now. Good grief.

[cripplecreek]

Cruz did well considering the amount of time he was given. I think Fiorina did OK but I don’t get where they say Rubio and Chunky C did well.

[cripplecreek]

Because some people don’t like Carly Fiorina, she can never, never, never, ever, ever, ever do anything right. She can’t ever, ever, ever even perform well for a couple of hours.

Actually that's my biggest problem with Trump supporters. Its not about whether Trump is any good at anything, its about fandom. I'm not thrilled with Fiorina but she did do OK. In fact, it seems to me that most of the attacks on others coming from Trump supporters is about distracting from Trump himself.

[jennings2004]

Yeah, and he endorsed our revered Majority Leader in the most recent KY Senatorial election...you know (think, Caroline!), the gentle political giant whose openly stated goal was, and remains, to “...crush the Tea Party...” Move over, let me on the Paul Bandwagon! /s, s, s!!
