Snarkapalooza II was cancelled tonight, allowing for far more reasoned interaction between the candidates than the travesty in August. All the candidates increased in stature tonight. Is that even possible?

If i was Trump, i would watch out. Paul doesn’t seem that stable.

Christie did well but wont matter. Cruz brilliant as always. I think Trump did fine.

The Carly Fiorina show was good, besides her praise of muslim culture in the past, her amnesty views, her destruction of every company she touches...

Except the early setup questions designed to wound Trump

It is still going on, but it has been a good discussion, and has an extra hour for such a large group of candidates.

Definitely better than Fox. Moderation was pretty transparent, as it should be. Problem is, there are TOO MANY PEOPLE ON STAGE. Cut it down to 6 so we can really get down to things.

The difference between Faux and CNN debates was stunning.

CNN did a terrific job.

Loving this debate. We have some great people up there. Very happy 😊😊😊. Poll in my house is Carly rising, Cruz and Carson doing well, huckabee becoming the senior statesman, trump and bush diminishing. Rand doing better too, though still a long long shot. Walker a bit better than last time too.

Not so much.

A lot of questions were DT said ..... about you. How do you respond to that?

For the most part, it was attack DT.

I was so pathetic, I had to turn it off.

All this was, was the Left getting the Right to fight with each other. Nothing substantive about the issues at hand: the tyranny of the mostly unconstitutional $4 trillion federal government, abortion and unconscionable treatment of the unborn, economic disaster becasue of minimum ware, regulations, unions, and taxes (talked a little about that). But it is obvious that CNN’s marching orders were to keep the candidates fighting amongst each other - that way the real issues remain examined.

Sick and stupid.

It really is a great debate, but I have been watching since 6 o’clock and am tired of it now.......It is too long but I understand why they had it so long. Great job CNN. Really fantastic. So glad that Walker had some good time this round.....Trump did well......Rubio did ok......Paul is whiny......Cruz somehow thinks he can control the Supreme Court.....good luck with that........he is not a dictator. The justices now won’t listen to him......Carley is poised.....Carson was ok......

This event is sooooo much better than what Fox put on. Some of the interchange between the candidates seemed rather pointless, stupid and childish.... there were a number of instances but the Trump-Fiorini back and forth about their careers (4 bankruptcies vs what happened at HP) comes to mind. However, most of it proceeded with well reasoned answers and it all seems to happen in a fairly orderly way with a fair degree of flexibility between the candidates and the moderators. I don’t think that there have been any bad stumble and frankly, they all look like they are capable. While the debate may help some people make up their minds, what does one do when the elevation of the discussion makes everyone look a bit better? Interesting that in the past hour, there have been more instances where the candidates are publicly agreeing with each other and there appears to be more of a spirit of camaraderie amongst the candidates. Sheesh....even Carson and Trump are sort of agreeing on a medical question.

It's like Fox News and CNN switched roles and that CNN now stands for the Conservative News Network.

OK, that's a stretch. But CNN did a fantastic job with this debate and all candidates were treated respectfully and fairly by the moderators. I'm now even more ashamed of the behavior of Fox News last month. They have been completely outclassed by CNN.

Much better honesty.

Except for their tendency to let Carly and Huck ramble on. Even Ted went past the point of reasonable once.

It started off slow but got better as time went on. Jake Tapper did a good job, was kind of weird how almost every question started with “This is what Trump thinks” or something to that effect, but CNN actually did a better job than Fox News, the debate on Fox News was terrible, this one was an improvement

The moderators were pathetic. Most of the questions were taken from msm news papers

CNN Mucho major que FOX. (In Espanol for Bush)

Good, with the exception of Hewitt posing pretty much all of his questions to the RINOs to give them more face time. Don’t think it helped.

IMO: Christie, Kasich and Carly need to go away. Time wasters. Bush too, but that isn’t going to happen soon.

This was an actual debate, where the fox debacle was a gotcha ego-fest for the moderators.

I dont agree about Bush. He looked desperate and angry. Everyone else I agree with your statement.
