I’ve truly enjoyed Trump’s candidacy, but those were all legitimate questions, and Trump couldn’t answer them.

It wasn’t a hit job, just revealing. Trump has been great about bringing issues into the public discourse, but he has few answers and carries a lot of baggage.

Campaigns and debates show weak spots, and that’s what happened tonight.

I’m a Trump fan and I agree. As his first debate ever, it wasn’t bad. Yes, it showed weak spots. DT will either chalk it up as a learning experience and have a more substantive showing next time, or stubbornly dig in and continue to repeat his broad talking points.

Trump has lots of answers. Lots and lots of answers.

Stick around.

"Campaigns and debates show weak spots"

How about follow-ups for Bush on Planned Parenthood, or Rubio on Gang of 8? Would those not warranted?

In reality, they gave the candidates one minute each to answer a question. Not much time to go into depth. Like one of the candidates said - you don’t give your positions out to your enemies. Sure, people want specifics, but, that isn’t always the right thing to do, especially, when your opponents, and enemies are ready to pounce on you like prey. Some don’t understand politics very well.

Not sure what debate you were watching, but I enjoyed the answers Trump gave. His one on Political Correctness will probably raise his support another 5 points.

True, when the same questions are posed in the same way to all candidates. Here, not so much. Also, Trump showed, again, he has a pair and won’t play their game.

How is Trump going to answer those questions in 30 seconds?

What baggage? The worse people can say about Trump is he is not politically correct!
