FBN described the debates and moderators:

The debates will focus on the most important business and economic issues facing the United States including job creation, social security and taxes.
"Get over" eminent domain?
Seriously?
" Trump may use the law to take property but these other clowns will take everything you own, take it to the bank."
Oh, well, then since the "the other clowns" want everything I have, I'll just shut up and let Trump have my property. /S
Hail, no. And on that note, I'm going to bed.
LOL...did you get that on FOX of Fox Business?
I went to get a glass of water, so missed it.
Ranchers are HAPPY to defend their OWN property,
Gert the goobermint out of the way and in our corner.
Although google can’t help but to over represent minorities and women, of course.
Trump screwed up on TPP and there’s already headlines out there. He said it was a backdoor for China and as Paul corrected, China’s not in it. I’m disappointed, doesn’t seem like he’s getting up to speed and I expect him to.
Don’t know if you noticed because it went real fast but at the end of the debate Trump and Cruz shook hands and gave each other a team hug like two athletes helping each other win the top prize. I found that very interesting.
I can tell you none of the other candidates did that with each other.
I also noticed Cruz threw Trump a lifeline when Trump answered a question on immigration which was a bit rough and Cruz jumped in a few minutes later and said that the wall in Israel was working very, very well and that it was not fair for all those waiting in the immigration line for all the illegals to jump the line.
I realized those two have some kind of working understanding. Don’t know what it is but I definitely see a tag team dynamic here.
Carson sounded like a fish out of water. His answers to anything sound like theyre coming from a 14 year old.

Just go to the internet and watch a time for choosing speech, ya know. All ya need for this bs new medium tv.
He pulled 3.75% (approx) after the last debate. Trump was at 50%.
My thought then was that mostly Conservative types vote there. Guess what. Carson isn’t pulling from them at all.
20%? 25%? We have some real jokers for pollsters this year.
Yeah. Those of us around here were mostly cheering for our candidate. These “debates” don’t change most of our minds on FR I don’t think.
Some good after-debate inteviews. Cruz nailed it in his interview IMO but he forgot to unbutton his coat when he sat down so his tie almost obscenely stick out under his jacket.
I told my wife that I think that is characteristic of Cruz - he sometimes gets so caught up in his beliefs that I think sometimes he loses sight of the context and perspective. Some call it being an ideologue which I think hurts him.
My choice? Trump/Cruz. Maybe some of Trump’s down-to-earthiness could rub off on Cruz and Cruz could walk into the presidency subsequent to a Trump presidency and I think Cruz would finish what Trump started.
Traditional Fox had the Lindsay ad on after the debate on O’Reilly.
LOL. If you saw the sit down interview he had with Glenn Beck, in announcing his website, he actually snarked that there’s a study that says if you mention something three times, it sticks in peoples heads and they remember it, and he did mention it three times in that interview.
So that is probably exactly why he mentioned his website three times during the debate.
Conservatives hating on Trump for eminent domain can't win the argument since they also support the Keystone Pipeline and the border wall (generally, except for a few Carson supporters I've seen on the internet, who, inbetween drooling, said that trying to enforce the border is an impossible project). There really are bigger issues than Eminent domain, which no candidate, no President, no congress, is ever going to mess with. The individual states have already enacted plenty of legislation on this topic, and I have heard many state level officials state that federal mucking around would waste all their hard work.
The FOX audience tonight did the work of the Megyn Kelly/Brett Baier types, since the FOX Biz moderators were charged with being civil.
I don’t know...I don’t hate Rubio...he has a ton of potential.... but god do his responses sound like something from that precocious high school debate team captain who just found out he got early decision acceptance into Yale.
Rubio is polished to a fault — it’s on the verge of affectation; Cruz is polished because his thesis is developed. Truly authentic...Hopefully (for the sake of the swing voter) not intimidatingly so.
Gubmint should be busting Ernrique Penas bollas not Farmer Johns.
I take one little exemption from your post in that i don’t want any Russians to get their axxes shot off.
Rand was right that we need to be Conservative with military spending too. It is a gummit agency that needs to be trimmed of waste.
