Marco Rubio is biggest loser. Trump and the governors all have a good night in NH

Saturday night at the GOP debate in New Hampshire belonged to the executives: the governors and the businessman.

Indeed, if Saturday is any indication of what kind of debater Donald Trump can be, then it's safe to say that it really was a mistake for him to skip the Fox News debate before the Iowa caucus. He may very have won it if he had shown this kind of strength and adeptness just days before Iowans went out to vote.

Wow!
Great lemonade!

[Guenevere]

Ohhhhh good point!

Indeed....that new long list of Rubio endorsements!

Santorum, Jindal, ete etc

[hoosiermama]

This one needs a thread of its own. SNL was fast tonight!

I just finished making a correction to my post #174 in the "Trump Vows Forward Motion on Gay Equality" thread from last night.

Rubio is an actor. He’s memorized scripts that sound Reaganesque. However, there is no underlying substance. Just raw ambition.

[Chickensoup]

DONDI!!

Tired of debates, it’s Trump or Cruz. Looking forward to reading all of the FReeper reports. They are far more relevant.

so damn funny to watch Christie(an ex fed prosecutor) put Rubio in a box knowing he couldn't get out,
, Christie actually telling the audience exactly what Rubio was going to do next and by goodness 2 seconds later there it was..
if that was a trial the defense atty would just jump up to plead guilty and ask for mercy..

It was very good...
Rubio looked like he was going to be sick

Rubio is nothing more than a “used car salesman”. I TRUELY hope he goes no where in this election other than back to Florida, if he runs out of used cars, there’s still more swampland yet to sell.

-- There's something really fishy about a guy that continues to brag about his debate skills, who never seems to win one against the other, by comparison "inferior" debaters. -

Martha Raditz (I think that's her name) ate his lunch on the NK missile preemptive strike question. She closed, "the missle has been on the launch pad for days."

“Wish I could have watched but was at a Black Sabbath concert!!!”

Did Tony look healthy?. I imagine they had auto tune turned up to 11 for Ozzy lol

[AFreeBird]

I missed the debate. What did he say regarding water boarding?

[Guenevere]

You got that right!

I don’t think this was lost on the public...
...Trump’s had enough exposure I think a large portion of people know his heart issues regarding Vets....the military.....etc.

[Guenevere]

Imo, he’s unctuous.....not genuine

[kinsman redeemer]

Trump looked like an immature child.

No depth. Shallow.

No self-control.

Vindictive. Reactionary.

Not prepared.

Self-seeking. Narssistic.

Small.

[eartick]

How can anyone say Chump Trump had a good night. Jeeez, what a putz

Sit down and READ the transcript and take the reality TV out of it and get back with me.

I think you will have a change of HEART.......

[eartick]

Neither one shined in reality

No. I counted Rubio out last summer and Trump made a mistake not burying him than. Rubio has more lives than a cat. He was hurt, but will return until the delegate count says otherwise.

[octex]

Tonight he got another shot at Trump. Again, he came up with a big fat goose egg for his efforts.
**********************************
I suppose you’re referring to Cruz. I watched the entire debate, keeping track with +/- and x regarding their replies that were good/bad and slams on others. I scored Cruz with NO x’s because he didn’t slam anyone.

X’s I counted: Trump 10; Rubio 9; Christi 6; Bush 5; Kasich 8; Carson 3; Cruz 0.

[octex]

A question was about waterboarding??

Keep in mind that the ABC liberal MSM moderators David M and Martha R were the ones asking questions. David M spent a half hour or so posing questions intended to start fights between the candidates, just like Chris Wallace does on FNC.
