I would love to see the ratings for the Faux debate. I’m guessing well below 10 million viewers.

What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger. Clinton hiding in the bushes as this political battle rages isn’t going to help her. It’s going to take a hell of a lot of voter fraud for her to win the presidency.

Like all other debates....Cruz placed second place on the Drudge Poll..(even though, if it had been a poll of just the attendees, he would have won it) He had a weaker start, but he got better as the debate went over all.

Bush did better in this debate, but his bar is set so low. If all a person does is fail, a slight success will look like a huge one.

What I thought was dishonest was the way Megyn went after Cruz on his amendments to stop amnesty on the gang of 8 legislation in the debate. After the debate Megyn admitted to Cruz she had fully researched it, and Cruz was correct that it was designed to be a poison pill to stop the legislation. Only one purpose with that was to hit Cruz to make Rubio look better.

Ted Cruz did well and so did Marco Rubio, but to me, Ben Carson was the winner. He got the hardest questions and answered them well. Jeb Bush, on the other hand, looked wooden.

Bush actually was better than he had been at earlier debates, but no matter how good he is, he’s nothing new. That is, he’d be surrounded by the same old advisors and follow the same old policies as his father and brother. And every time he said something last night, that was essentially what he indicated.

Cruz and Rubio were too busy arguing with each other, although that was partly because the moderators had obviously structured it that way. By the end, I wasn’t sure what either one of them thought, although Cruz unfortunately came off as a little screechy.

I thought Christie was surprisingly good and I think he was the strongest one on the economy. The others? Carson, kasich and Paul were just cluttering up the stage, although Paul had a couple of amusing moments.

I watched the undercard debate first and I liked Fiorina - I wish she could get back into the running.

So last night was actually pretty interesting because we finally got to listen to the candidates actually addressing the issues. I don’t think anyone really “won” it, though.

Huckabee and Santorum, for going down the street where some real work was done.

I will ignore these critics and wait for the opinion of the voters of Iowa Monday night.

Stirewalt on FoxNews pushes Bush as having a big night, but Rubio shining during the second half.

[Wasn’t that the expected narrative pre-debate?]

Names not getting much morning chat: Christie, Huckabee, Kasich.

Yeah, I’ll make a choice based on what the CRITICS say.

Sure. :)

I thought Cruz was ok, not great, but he did have the most memorable line of the night with his tease of Trump right at the start. All of the candidates struck me as solid. No one embarrassed himself. Their supporters will all find confirmation in their performances. Whether the balance was shifted remains to be seen.

The overwhelming impression I had was that it was refreshing to have a substantive, spirited, informed discussion of the issues with no vulgar, ill-informed braggart to toss bombs. The evening was a very effective demonstration of just how destructive Trump has been to anyone. That should be evident to anyone not drunk on Trump-Aid.

I only watched a small section of the debate. I've watched very few of them in their entirety. I started watching when the young woman from south of the border asked her question. I thought Jeb's response was his usual tired old "open borders, we're a nation of immigrants" BS. In the section I watched, I thought Rubio had some good lines:

"Hillary's first act as president will be to pardon herself".

"I think Bernie Sanders would make a great president.....of Sweden".

He also said that Hillary cannot be elected president because she lied to the families who lost sons at Benghazi. I would never vote for Rubio as president, but he had his moments at the debate.

The media is really telegraphing their intention now.

Bush seemed giddy that his bully wasn't around but he still stuttered like a special needs student, and repeated (to his credit and Rubio's shame) his totally rejected view on how to handle illegal immigration. More RINO pablum.

If what the NYT means is Bush 1/28 beat the crap out of Bush 1/14 then I guess they'd have a point. He did seemed better but he did NOT win last nights debate by any stretch.
