Business mogul Donald Trump returned to the debate stage Saturday night and emerged victorious, but his first-place finish was largely by default. Days before the New Hampshire primary, Trump looked like a winner simply because Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, well, didn't...
Trump then told the television audience that the debate crowd was full of Bush donors who were unhappy that Trump wouldnât take their donations. Still, Time.com readers named Trump in an unscientific online poll as the debate winner...

Ted Cruz: far deeper than the others. His answer were as much more thoroughly thought out. His defense plan perfect.
They can take the children with them. Duh.
Cruz in his own words:
“So, in terms of a practical solution, Iâve laid out the most detailed plan for solving illegal immigration. Itâs 11 pages, single-spaced, chapter and verse. Itâs on our website, tedcruz.org.
In short, weâre going to do, weâre going to build a wall. Weâre going to triple the border patrol. Weâre going to increase â and actually, since Donald enjoyed that, I will simply say, Iâve got somebody in mind to build it.
Weâre going to increase four-fold, the fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft, so that you have technology monitoring an attempted incursion to direct the boots on the ground where theyâre occurring. Weâre going to put in place a strong e-verify system in the workplace, so you canât get a job without proving you are here legally.
Weâll put in place a biometric exit-entry system on visas, because 40 percent of illegal immigration comes not over the border illegally, but people coming on visas and overstaying.
We will end sanctuary cities by cutting off taxpayer dollars to any jurisdiction that defies federal immigration law.
After audience applause Cruz added, âAnd we will end welfare benefits for those here illegally.”
CNN is saying Ted Cruz lied about their role in the Carson affair. Having CNN against him should help him with Conservatives.
No kidding. Man what a vapid response.
Curious who’s the tallest: Clinton, Sanders, or Rubio?
No doubt the audience was stacked with GOPe. The sounds of clapping didn’t match the visual.

Regardless of height, who’s the smallest?
.... Proceed with Caution!
He’s about as “deep” as tiny puddle.
Yea lots of people have pics with Reagan.
But Trump called him a CON man
Now watch, to justify that, trumpsters will come out and give all their reasons why RR WAS a con man. Lol.
Kasich campaigns as an overbearing know-it-all.
The one who stands the least tall?
Well if Trump gets whatever he gets and the GOPe vote ends up fairly well divided 4 ways instead of mostly going Rubio there may still be enough conservatives and libertarians in NH for Cruz to come in 2nd over GOPe/4. Not likely but its his best chance for that. So I’d say the debate went just about the way Cruz would have hoped. Little to knock him down and a chance to look as good as the sparse NH pickings for him allowed.
Being a Trump supporter, I think Cruz deserves high marks for his performance. Cruz has an incredible knowledge of the workings of our government. He also showed a temperament that will get along with people. I am glad he and Trump are the two at the top. If Trump goes down, Cruz would be the one with the best knowledge for the job.
Holier-than-thou as well, invoking God for expanding Obama-Medicaid.
Christie made the most noise, I think he is going to do much better in NH than people expect.
