Trump won!
Only Trump has stood up against the media, China, Mexico ,illegals, Muslims (All of the enemies of America and freedom). etc. All other politicians have not stood up nor said anything against ALL of these enemies of America.
The media is the main problem that is destroying the USA
What a friggin’ waste of time.
Really lovin’ Cruz, aren’t they?
Trump won.
Christie scorescored points eith his attack on rubio.
Interesting kind of poll. Sadly, too many negative votes clearly from people who won’t be voting in the R primaries. Or even USA citizen.
Meaningless popularity contest among self-selected brits.
Trump held his own, but no way he ‘won’ this debate. It was won by the three governors, largely at the expense of Trump and Rubio, and to some extent Ted Cruz.
From one perspective the big winner it Ted Cruz. it doesn’t matter to Cruz if Trump wins on Tuesday; that’s expected. He just needs second of third. This outcome sets up that outcome as Rubio, Kasich, Christie, Bush and Carson will split 50% of the vote roughly evenly. Leaving the other 50% to split 30% Trump and 20% Cruz. Even if Cruz finishes farther back, it’s unlikely with the three governors splitting the establishment vote with Rubio that he will do worse than third, and it won’t be Rubio in second.
That sets South Carolina and beyond very much in Cruz’s sights.
His waterboarding question was the answer of the night.
Pray America wakes

Maybe, but you weren't really doing anything else now, where you ?
I always look to what a foreign country’s media thinks to influence my voting decisions! I remember when they loved obama. Don’t take that as a cut against Trump or anyone else running, just foreign media.
Trump versus The Politicians. He did pretty good. Trump 2016! For all the right reasons.
Seems like they dominated the time but I also came in later after the Rubio/Christie dust up.
Jeb's 'sweet spot' comment on abortion was creepy at best.
Ben Carson should have quit after Iowa. He seems lost.
I guess the politicians in the UK were afraid to ban Trump.
