It's past time for senor el Jebbo to do those "more important" things he has to do.

I’m with Trump or Cruze.
But Rubio was well prepared.

[Scoring smooth points and Pretty-Boy image won’t be enough for a Rubio win against Cruz.]

I’ll stack up CRUZ anytime against RUBIO Gang of 8.

I agree.
One more debate and I suspect Paul and Huckabee will join them.
I think the four still standing after Iowa and New Hampshire will be Trump, Cruz, Rubio and Carson.
But in the immortal words of Yogi Berra,” It ain’t over till it’s over.”
Damn, I miss Yogi and Bob Uecker.

I think we are going to wind up with Clinton/Castro vs Cruz/Carson.

Problem here and I see the rats playing this perfectly is comparing Obama to Carson and asking if maybe it’s time to go in another direction. Outright racism and the media will lap it up as saying, maybe it’s time for a woman and the Republicans are sexist.

Fiorina will hang around because she’s a female counterpoint to Hillary, who it appears, will be the democratic nominee. As the VP candidate, She would be useful bashing Hillary. She’s also good in a debate.

So, there are reasons to keep her beyond the fact that she did well last night. She didn’t stumble, but she didn’t resurrect her campaign either.

She doesn’t have a state to offer. No way she’ll deliver California, so what she’ll do is blunt the “I’ve got to vote for the woman” crowd. Those most likely to deliver states that already aren’t automatically in the republican column are Christie (NJ), Kasich (OH), Santorum (PA), Rubio (FL), and Carson (FL, MD, MI)

Carson is a very attractive VP candidate also because of his giving blacks a reason to break the Dem Party’s hold on their vote.

My thoughts are that Donald Trump should purchase two hours of block time on some obscure cable channel and then invite all the viable candidates to join him in a debate moderated by Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Sarah Palin. The ratings would probably go through the roof.

Post of the day! What a great idea--the mind boggles.

I agree with you. Rubio shined. Jeb is a moron for attacking him. Rubio showed that he can take the attacks, frame them to his advantage, rise above, and retaliate without having to get into the gutter. It is not for me to decide these things, but 12 on the stage is nonsensical. The only reason they do this is because they want to knock Trump and Carson out. If they had only 6 they would be in effect endorsing those top 2 and the establishment definitely does not want want those 2 to hold onto a lead, so the GOP pushes for this giant field hoping they will either tear down the leaders, one will rise to steal their vote, or one will stumble and fall. But the reality of it ends up that nobody gets any serious time and the debate ends up being mostly meaningless.

Anyway, I think the two most electable overall in the general are Rubio and Christie. But this does not mean I like them or their policies and my mind could change. Its still early.

It's a good idea, except I wouldn't use my money to give my opponents a chance to take a shot at me. They'd have to pony up some cash of their own.

I watched it, and my immediate reactions were:

Does this mean that Rubio is now leading in the IOWA polls? Just curious who the media choice was this week.

The text interpreter used to translate plain text to HTML is seeing certain marks (like apostrophes) as markup for “special characters”. It looks like there is a new interpreter on line for articles, although I am not seeing as much in the comments - so the basic interpreter appears to still work correctly.

the media will lap it up as saying, maybe it’s time for a woman and the Republicans are sexist.

In such a scenario, Dr. Carson should hold a press conference rolling his eyes while announcing that he is a trans-lesbian (a lesbian trapped in a man's body).

Ridicule and contempt does wonders to shut down these morons in the media.

I agree on all of those except Carly. She is chum in the shark tank and it showed last night.
