The audience loudly booed Trump, driving the back-and-forth off the rails. Trump said audience members were all members of the Republican establishment.
“That’s all of his donors and special interests out there,†Trump said of the people booing him. “That’s what it is. And by the way, let me just tell you: We needed tickets. You can’t get them. You know who has the tickets? … Donors, special interests, the people that are putting up the money. That’s who it is.â€
The booing continued. Trump said he was self-funding his campaign, so Republican donors weren’t a fan of his candidacy.
“The reason they’re not loving me is I don’t want their money.
Trump was right. The audience was stacked against the GOP frontrunner.
Trump’s close associate Roger Stone tweeted out that the Trump camp was only given 20 tickets by the GOP!

I think this might become a story of focus.
Also, they already are going nuts over his comment on waterboarding. Did not dance around and striaght up said he would do worse to terrorists.
The Republican establishment is now being defined by Trump as a bunch of dirty, manipulating ba$tards.......and it will hurt Rubio’s public image tremendously.
Oh, give it a rest. Softballs all night. Ted didn’t even get any airtime at all. The two questions I saw were attacks, not questions. And now they’re fawning over him in the post-game show.
The audience was stacked with big GOPe donors.
It looked like an Establishment crowd..
And he is 100% correct- This man is an absolute genius at politics 101. And I am a Cruzer!
Bush packed the house. Trump acts like a beginner which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but as far as tricks go he doesn’t go there.
I forgot it was on, just turned it on as they were shaking hands at the end. I noticed Trump walked up to Kasich to shake hands and Kasich turned his back and walked away—twice. But the media heads seemed to agree Trump did well, so he must have done great.
The rest of the tickets must have been given to ¡Yeb!
Its always a pro establishment crowd. I love that Trump never backs down.
I know it’s fashionable to bitch about Fox News, but holy crap, I can’t believe watching ABC their commentors are Donna Brazille and George Stephy...why not pull up a chair for Paul Begala and put the old Clinton gang back together.
Wonder if Susan Estrogen died or just fell from grace?
Kasich has a reputation
Ted got more than carson. If a janitor walked behind the stage he would have gotten more face time.
The audience demo is definitely not the voter demo.
That should be a news story in itself. I missed it.
“SCANDAL=> HOUSE WAS STACKED – Trump Camp Given ONLY 20 TICKETS For Supporters at GOP Debate”
We don’t know the facts. Trump may not have gotten as many tickets because there was no way to know for sure if Trump would participate in the debate.
Me too. It's like Trump knows we're out here - and we're on his side.
True - understatement...
ABC did a fine job. FoxNews is pathetic. ABC hit Rubio twice on his Gang of 8 bill. FoxNews did not ask him ONE question about it...because Murdoch wants him propped up. CNBC also did a good job, actually exposing Rubio's disastrous personal finances.
