Yeah! I knew he could do it! Trump 2016!
Hugh Hewitt is a moderator next month. An odd duck, but Trump interviews are fair.
Christie? REally? On what planet and what century?
Looked bad, spoke poorly, demagogic and is bad.
Christie needs to go. Go far, far away.
I would agree about a three to four person format. That would be much preferable I think. Ten people is useless.
Christie just does not come off as intelligent to me, nto to mention he’s a lib and he hugged the Dark Lord.
Paul did have some answers that I appreciated tonight, but Paul just is not presidential at all. There is nothing that I see in him that says leadership. I think he is one of the ones that can go ahead and drop.
Drudge numbers. Trump 50% Cruz 24%. Carson. 300,000 Votes
Fox News is the clear loser. Not fair and balanced at all with that shrew Kelly grandstanding and back biting. Too much time spent with Seth Meyers, I guess.
I am for Cruz but will back Trump depending on how it all falls out.
Who watches the MSM .. not me. Their people are idiots.
My winners:
Cruz
Carson
Trump
I thought I was going to hit the floor when Trump made his Rosie O’Donnell jab. Absolutely hysterical.
Something funny: I was watching the early JV debates with my Mother & she didn’t know any of them. When Linda Graham started speaking, she asked me “Is he gay?” LOL!
Dick Morris said: “His refusal to rule out a third party candidacy”.
Now, if people were not paying attention, I think there were 2 questions in there .. a 3rd party run, and also supporting whoever is the nominee.
When Hannity was interviewing some of the candidates - each one of them seemed to have a different answer - some said 3rd party, and others said support nominee.
There’s a fly in that ointment there somewhere.
Carson was very good, but, not my pick for president. I think he would be an awesome Surgeon General of the U.S. He is smart, laid back, articulate and very likeable.
****************************
Surgeon General is another ‘nothing’ position in gov’t.
I think Carson would be better as Scty. of HHS, since he’s had hands on experience.
That would also be a good spot for him.
No reason he couldn’t do both. HHS Sec + Surgeon General.
——His refusal to rule out a third party candidacy-——
The root of this issue was not mentioned.
trump has made the RNC a deal they dare not refuse. If you kill me you are dead..... that is the message. Cooperate and be nice or die.
Trump brought a shotgun to a knife fight
The derogatory comments directed to Fox News illustrate incorrect and in some instances shallow prior expectations.
It was not the goal of Fox to coddle conservatives with fuzzy wuzzies
The goal that was by the way accomplished, was to produce a well rounded view of all the candidates including the blemishes and rough edges. That was accomplished.
As far as I can tell, all of the candidates were able to make good and strong counter points and then deliver their thoughts.
Instead, the moderators asked skewed interpretations of one's position and then asked the others what's wrong with it. Not even, do you agree with that? One time it was "Was he lying?"
The moderators were setting up a series of 30 second cage matches between the candidates.

Anyone else notice Newsmax cropped Cruz out of the picture on their site?
“My wife laughed at all the crap they were talking about Trump offending women supposedly.”
Because what Trump was supposed to have said is tame compared to the average morning among women when they discuss other women.
Megyn Kelly has already did CNN and MSNBC’s work for them on Trump. He gotcha questions are over. The bytch.
Exactly my thought re: Carson.
