It was the most dramatic opening to a presidential debate in recent memoryand Donald Trump stole the show before he'd even said a word.
Perched comfortably at the top of the polls and lapping his closest rivals by double digits, Trump was expected to do well at the first GOP presidential debate of the 2016 season on Thursday night.

Good points. Doc Carson surprised me the most in a positive way.
Uh oh, people are catching on to MK.
Guess her GOPe attacks ain’t working.
Hey, GOPe, remain stuck on stupid. Duh.
That is some good news than. Bout time to stand up to the cronies.
That was just plain ridiculous and petty trying to create a ‘war on women’ by Trump. Made Kelly look stupid.

LOL! After last night, there can be no doubt about that! She didn't even try to hide it.

I rather liked seeing him reduced to 1 man in 10. He didn’t much care for it, I don’t think. Standing there are not being able to talk is not his element. He kept making a face that reminded me of my dearly departed great aunt.
His lowest point was in the beginning when he refused to rule out pulling a Perot.
I liked he how got pissy with Megyn and Wallace when asked about calling women pigs and bankruptcy.
Rand tried to go after him a couple times on past support for dems and single payer. I wish these “debates” had more candidate interaction.
Pissy or prissy??
Reminds me of a laugh I got when I saw a comment here calling Trump gay.
I thought about it, he comes off a bit feminine at times.
I don't see him taking up the cause against
