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.

exactly right,, Christie ain’t no dummy
Amazing catch!!
That’s the thing with Trump. He never holds grudges. Remember he compared Carson to a pedophile just weeks ago.
The old FoxNews is no more.
Fox News Lurches Left as Murdoch's Sons Take Control of Media Dynasty
Trump was mostly adequate, occasionally good. He’s not very knowledgeable on the issues.
It was interesting that as Trump was trying to inform America about the stacked audience, Yeb started talking over him. There was one time that Yeb did the talk over trick and Trump stopped, put his finger to his lips and shushed him. Trump was able to control the moment enough to get his message out. Those small moments spoke loudly and the American people got to see what an amazing man Trump is.
Go Trump!
Saint Paul made a well managed household a requirement for deacons or elders, so I guess it is a useful measure of a man.
But this is a report from Fox News, I thought that they were thoroughly discredited here? ;^ )
Absolutely not. He wants to take on Trump one-on-one, not on a stage with the five remnants of the seven dwarves.
He needs to see Kasich, Bush, Rubio, Carson and Christie forced out. Cruz will go for the outright win in South Carolina. That is definitely doable if Cruz gets a ticket out of New Hampshire. He does not need a win in New Hampshire. There may be two drop out after New Hampshire. We'll see.
There will likely be at least three more out after South Carolina, Carson, Kasich and Christie. Assuming that they have survived that long. Maybe Rubio out as well.
By Super Tuesday, we're likely looking at only Trump, Cruz and Bush, and maybe one other. In that lineup, Cruz will do very well. By the end of March, we'll be down to two, Trump and Cruz, and no chance for the others based on accrued delegates. The also rans may well be cut out of delegates by the 15% or 20% threshold requirement in many of the Super Tuesday states. Cruz will likely run the balance of the primaries since he beats Trump head to head in every poll I've seen.
That's Cruz's path forward. Time is the revelator. We'll have to wait and see how this works out.
Good likeness of Rubio. Hope he stopped sweating, now that the mean old debate is over.
Watching Robot Rubio meltdown into a sputtering broken record was the most fantastic thing I’ve seen in ages.
This is the guy they want to take to the general? The GOPe’s little plan just got blown up tonight, and I can’t believe it was Krispy Kreme Christie who pulled the trigger.
You’re right. Also appreciate the courtesy he gave Carson during the network’s disastrous introduction.
Thanks John.
After seven debates, Curz hasn’t laid a finger on Trump.
I don’t think that’s going to happen either.
Ted is going to lose primary after primary now.
Trump is it. It’s not going to change.
Hope springs eternal, but in this case I don’t see it happening for Curz.
We’ll see.
did you not hear everybody else on that stage tonight?,, all they did was brag about themselves the whole debate..
actually Trump did less bragging on himself than anybody but probably Carson tonight if you want to really be honest about it.. Trump was the big winner Saturday night when he looked right out into the audience and called them what they were to their faces..
I could hear RR saying in NH 36 years ago like it was yesterday
“I’m paying for this microphone Mr. Green!”
Anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear, who isn't pathetically b l,ind and deaf by biases, could see this for themselves.
No doubt ... this audience hostility helped Trump
So did Ted.
Where I noticed it the most, was when the moderators fed everyone else the question on Veterans, and Trump was the guy that brought that to the forefront during this campaign.
They allowed all the other guys to voice Trump’s position as if this topic was their special stance.
No sale. It was embarrassing.
Some of them were saying vets should be able to go to any hospital. Trump coined that this year.
That was blatant rip-off...
That parrot graphic floating around tonight was excellent.
I’d love to have a big version of that.
