Something very peculiar happened at the Republican debate on Saturday night: When Donald Trump talked, the audience booed. Yet when Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and even John Kasich talked, they got loud cheers and applause.
This happened again and again. It even led a spike in Google searches for "Why are people booing?"
Trump, at one point, scoffed that the audience was made up of "Jeb [Bush]'s special interests and lobbyists."
It turns out this may not be that far-fetched. Prior to the debate, the Republican Party decided not to use a lottery system to decide who should be in the audience. Instead, most tickets went to elected Republican officials, donors, and other workers for the party picked by local, state, and national party officials.

Taht’s what Trump claims, and his supporters parrot it. I see no evidence to support that.
Trump CLAIMS a lot of things. And he calls Ted a liar.
And it was obvious, and the home audience backed Donald even more...
B***S***
Didn’t like the live thread?
Because Ted talks about his record.
I see no evidence to support that.
Did you read the article?
Because Ted is a liar. He’s a lying politician who will lie, cheat, do whatever it takes to win. But if he got the nomination the Dems would take him out with a quick lawsuit and the establishment could pop Bush in.
The Republican Establishment damaged its own brand with that Jerry Springer imitation tonight. It showed neutral voters that the Republicans are not ready for prime time, and that the Democrats are the only people ready to govern. Hillary won the debate tonight.
Trump CLAIMS a lot of things.
But it’s a FACT that the tickets went to donors and GOP party apparatchiks. That’s been reported in the news, including this article.
No, because Cruz lies, especially about Trump. It is what desperate Canadians do.
The audience sounded like a herd of confused schoolgirls.
They made the whole debate look bad.
They should just stay quiet.
You would never see the Dems fighting so hard against their frontrunner as this. Would you ever see them stack their audience against a runaway frontrunner?
I was there, It was quite true!
They booed Cruz when he talked about illegal immigration.
They were all pro amnesty bushbots.
Seems the GOPe’s evil plan worked.
Not.
:)
You were there???
Cruz just throws out lies with no way to prove them hoping something will stick. He’s did it his entire time in Washington. What is fact is Cruz was for amnesty. Cruz wanted to give permanent green cards to every illegal worker in the United States, now he denies it. He thinks people are too stupid to use Google. The video of him talking about the green card compromise is congressional record. I have never seen a man that lies as easily as he does. Yes I have, a lot of sleezy lawyers, but then again, that’s all in the hell he is.
