“You saw a brawl. And the instigator -the man who turned a debate about leading the country into a cage match - was Donald Trump.”

Moderator: someone who leads a discussion in a group and tells each person when to speak : someone who moderates a meeting or discussion
mod-er-ate adj.
1. Being within reasonable limits; not excessive or extreme: a moderate price.
2. Not violent or subject to extremes; mild or calm; temperate: a moderate climate.

Let’s see ... lefty `moderators’ picked a fight with Cruz, actually debating with the candidate, and they’re trying to sneak up behind and land rabbit punches on Trump and the other candidates.
The moderators did all they could do to spray atomized flammable accelerants on an already volatile personality, to wit, Trump ... and the next morning this lefty Slate pinhead acts surprised, disappointed and even outraged that yet another GOP “debate” turned into a Jerry Springer show with the Sweets `Ballroom Blitz’ as theme music.

Mr Rogers meets Blue Boy.

They used a play pen and not a cage for that one.

“A day before Sept. 11, 2001, former President Bill Clinton told an audience that he could have had Osama bin Laden killed, but chose not to, because an attack could have endangered innocent women and children in Afghanistan. “I nearly got him. And I could have killed him, but I would have to destroy a little town called Kandahar in Afghanistan and kill 300 innocent women and children, and then I would have been no better than him.”

“And so I didn’t do it,” the former commander in chief says.”

So much for blaming Bush for 9/11. But that doesn’t seem to matter to many posters here.

So two socialists having a discussion is now wonky? Was just waiting for Comrade Sanders and Shrillary to debate which Marx and Engels book was better: the Communist Manifesto or Das Kapital.

What’s being said was that Bush had been president for 9 months already.

It was on his watch.

Can’t deny it.

AND....he was pro-amnesty and pro-illegal, and 9/11 was carried out by terrorists on visas at OUR flight schools in Florida (Jeb’s state).

I agree - no way Trump commands a majority.
Even if it comes down to 2 in the primary at some point.
Trumps high negatives will doom him in the general.

And Sanders’s being a socialist is positive.

And Mrs. Clinton being viewed by 95% as dishonest is a positive....not to mention criminal indictment

At our County ‘Lincoln Day Dinner’ last night (about 300), the speaker asked for a show of hands.

2/3 Cruz
1/3 Rubio
1 Trump

These are the active people who will be going to Caucus.

There's one thing they can both agree on: Saul Alinsky!

CBS turned the debate into a cage match.

But yes Trump was a bit hostile. WHY? Because he was pissed off that the audience was stacked against him BY CBS. Also, there is some discussion that the applause/boos audio was enhanced/overdubbed by CBS.

Yup. We’re so screwed. Too many of our fellow Americans believe the crap coming out of both their mouths.

This is why I say that Donald Trump is a type of Samson:

Judgse 15
3 And Samson said to them, “This time I shall be blameless regarding the Philistines if I harm them!”
4 Then Samson went and caught three hundred foxes; and he took torches, turned the foxes tail to tail, and put a torch between each pair of tails.
5 When he had set the torches on fire, he let the foxes go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burned up both the shocks and the standing grain, as well as the vineyards and olive groves.
