Christie, Paul, Kasic, and Bush need to get out of the race. They add nothing to the debates. The rest add at least something.

They certainly didn't like asking Cruz many questions.

I’m never really liked Trump, but even I saw the hit job Fox started out at the very beginning.

When Trump raised his hand on the first question, the follow-up should have been something like “Is there a candidate or position on this stage you wouldn’t support”?

Also on the bankruptcy questions, all Trump should have said is in Business you take risks because that’s the part of entrepeneurship, but not in Gov’t. That would’ve squashed that issue.

It didn’t help about giving money to everyone and “expect a favor”. Trump defined what a lobbyist is. Throw some money and gets what he wants. Another candidate could have picked up on that, but didn’t.

Overall,
Bush sucked. and Trump will go down as a result as it becomes clear that Trump’s not needed to stop the GOPe.

Carson impressed.

Huckabee stole Ted Cruz’s answers and delivery. I was pissed because Cruz got a couple early questions in the first hour, then disappeared until almost the end, but every answer was solid.

I thought Walker did fine. Of all the candidates, Cruz and Walker looked the most Presidential.

Rand may not be at the next debate. He style just isn’t the right fit and the confrontations with the other won’t help him.

Rubio was ok. Talks very fast and you can tell he’s not as confident as Cruz.

Overall
First Tier Winners: Cruz, Carson, Huckabee, Walker
Second Tier (OK): Rubio, Christie
Third Tier (Meh): Kasich, Trump
Awful: Bush, Paul

I made a mistake and went to a noisy debate party, thinking I could watch the whole debate later on Fox or YouTube. Now I see I can’t—I think—and I missed big sections of it because of all the hooting and chanting (the bar had been open for an hour and a half before the debate started).

Anyone know how I can watch it from start to finish?

Chris Wallace has always had a reputation for “Gotcha” questions. That may be one of the reasons so few Conservatives are seen on FOX News Sunday with Chris Wallace.

Video of debate (there are parts cut out like Kelly attacking Trump ??)

Cruz was robbed, he was given very little time to speak. Without a doubt the most political knowledgeable one running. Cruz’s and Trump’s closing statements were the best and most conservative by far.

Trump was attacked repeatedly, Wallace and Kelly are dirtbags not even worth hearing. Conservatives should have nothing to do with either of them other than working to end their careers. Trump gave some great answers but needs to have a friendlier way of coming across. He should remember he is speaking to the American voters not the media creeps moderating. Hey Donald ignore them next time and just speak directly to the American people, that is what you are good at and why you have so much support. Trump will move in the polls, watch.

Bush, did well considering he is a sell out lying liberal. He will have fooled a lot of unknowledgeable voters unfortunately.

Carson, is smart, likeable and a good man, but he won’t be President. He would be great in many top positions of a conservative administration.

Walker, didn’t believe a word he said. There is something wrong about this guy, don’t trust him at all.

Paul has some good points on balancing the budget and taxes, but is just plain wrong on some other issues. He will never be President anyways.

The rest are not even worth the time to mention.

Murdock, Ailes, Foxnews and those moderators should be taken out back and soundly beaten by the American people, they are a disgrace. Thank God I don’t have them in my house.

The 3 Fox dirtbags had no interest in the American people hearing the policies of these men, they (Fox dirtbags) are the enemy of all us imo.
