5 Takeaways From The Miami GOP Debate By: Jay Caruso | March 10th, 2016

This was actually one of the better debates I have watched since this all started. Jake Tapper redeemed his lousy questions last time that mostly started, “Donald Trump said….” with tough and fair substantive questions in this debate. Some were more ready than others.

Here are the takeaways I came up with from this debate:

1. Rubio had a terrific debate – I said earlier today it was critical Rubio have a great debate. And he delivered. There is not a person on the stage that can articulate policy better than Marco Rubio. It’s not even close. He didn’t have to insult Donald Trump. He just made Trump look silly on a range of issues no more so than with Cuba.

2. Donald Trump is a complete moron – Sorry but I am not sorry. In watching him it was obvious he has no clue on trade, no clue how Common Core works, no clue on how to deal with Social Security and no clue on foreign policy. He called the pro-democracy protests in Tiananmen Square, “riots” for crying out loud. He said his credentials for being better on matters regarding Israel was that he was a grand marshall at a parade. Really?

3. Ted Cruz made Donald Trump his target as he needed to – Ted Cruz knows he has to get ahead of Donald Trump. Cruz didn’t say a word about Marco Rubio or John Kasich but continued to draw a clear distinction between himself and Trump. And he did it very well. He continued to remind people how Trump supported Democrats in the past and how many of his positions currently, are not that different

Frank Luntz focus groups have been off focus by 20% points in the polls.

When you start with ‘Rubio had a great debate’... I am finished.

Trump and Rubio had good debates. Cruz and Kasich total non factors.

Didn’t see the debate, so was Kasich just a podium filler?

Ok EVERYONE else is saying exactly the opposite to this.

At some point the author needs to learn that writing these sort of bile laced childish absurdity merely makes them look, hysteric, ignorant and foolish.

Elections end child, a professional reputation as a complete hysteric clown will follow this writer forever.

No matter how loud you scream a lie Red State, it is still a lie.

People keep saying Trump is doing well because the people are angry. But it doesn’t make sense.

They say they’re tired of politicians being bought off by wealthy businessmen, so they’re voting for the wealthy businessman who buys politicians.

They’re tired of the lies the politicians feed them, so they’re going to vote for a man who lies all the time and has changed his position so many times he makes politicians look honest.

They’re tired of the Establishment, so they’re going to vote for the man who bankrolled Establishment politicians to keep them in power against the Tea Party.

They’re scared of Hillary Clinton, so they’re voting for one of Hillary’s good friends, who donated to her multiple times, and who is the one person the polls show will lose to her in the general election.

People might be mad, but if so, they’re doing exactly all the wrong things to fix the problem. Maybe they should stop being so stupid when they’re angry and starting thinking a little more.

Got it. When all the facts do not validate you emotions, accuse the facts of being wrong.

No matter how desperately you cling to a convent lie, the truth will eventually be forced upon you.

Instead of making generalizations, why not listen and understand why Trump is winning.

Maybe if you quite being noting but a complete attack bot and posted some rational thoughtful commentary for a change, people might not find you "obnoxious"

Trump won it going away. Even PMSNBC gave it to him. Even Charles Krauthammer. Deal with it fatty Erickson, Trump’s your next president. Eat another donut.
