Jeb is in both the damn weeds and boring. Poor thing is a walking stutter step!
LOL, I'm actually working on that tangentially.
Jeb , Hillary is your sister-in-law. Thanks Giving is coming.
..and the thing is Jeb’s version of serious/passionate comes off as angry/inarticulate - even with the questions in advance.
Jeb is fighting for political life.
Jeb is trying to find details on an answer to a question nobody cares about. Tepid applause because nobody in the crowd understands what he just said.
Jebbie stumbling and bumbling. Shrillary would make mincemeat out of him. Even Bernie Sanders will make mincemeat out of him.

i refuse to watch the next debate if bush ,carly, kasick,paul,are on the stage
Make no mistake Jeb is no different than Hillary on this issue.
I’m sure Carson is a good guy but his sleepy delivery is just not working for me.
He and Carly and Kay-sick have done most of the yapping
Rove controlled debate
How long has it now been since Cruz got to speak? At least 20 minutes?
rump did not amass billions of dollars by his skill in hiring groundskeepers.
You bet he did. He builds and runs casinos, golf courses, resorts, and office buildings. He almost certainly hires more foreign born residents than any other demographic.
It’s exactly the same as Trumps vision, they just wouldn’t agree that it was.
Interestingly enough, I thought I saw Paul throw Trump a life preserver just after pushing him off the docks. Then I saw Trump bail Paul out.
The subtext during the debate was incredible at points. Great duel between Rubio and Paul. Trump gets some body blows in there, Carly got a bunch of slaps and pinches in and Kasich whined. Cruz won the debate in the first hour, afterwords, just kept his mouth shut as others just got in mud.
If this was a British debate some pretty vile names would have been bandied about.
Wrong magic Negro.
