Donald Trump’s first presidential debate was a disaster. That’s the assessment of Republican insiders in this week’s POLITICO Caucus, our weekly bipartisan survey of the top strategists, activists and operatives in Iowa and New Hampshire. They offered their reactions immediately after watching Thursday’s 9 p.m. prime-time debate in Cleveland. Story Continued Below Forty-four percent called the controversial real estate mogul the biggest loser of the evening, critiquing everything from his refusal to rule out a third party run, to perceived misogynistic comments to his acceptance of single-payer health care in other countries. ---- While Rubio and Bush were both perceived as winners, there was a big gap in perceptions about their respective performances. Those who characterized Rubio as the winner tended to offer glowing assessments; those who picked Bush thought he won simply by not losing.
Thanks for answering.
Very sadly true, trclaf. It happened in 2012, too.
LOL... no, the biggest losers are the so-called GOP insiders.
“Well not according to the numbers in the Drudge Poll out this am.”
I have no idea what your point is in reference to what I posted. I was referring to the liberal bias of the writer.
Journ-o-list montage was out last night even with Krauthammer. collapse, disaster were all scripted words.
nobody mentioned trump was his OWN spin doctor.
Goal was to get rid of Trump—then go for Cruz—so “Electable Bush”can be nominated (or another Mitten’s clone) so they can lose to Hillary or Biden. Then all will be as it should be—for the creation of the “worker’s paradise.”
On the contrary , THEY are the ones that should be fearful of their lives if any of our candidates should be affected with violence . Millions I think are on ‘ at the ready - stand by ‘ at this point , including the real oatriots in the U S military . ‘ They’ don’t want to open that can or it could quickly spiral into ‘ open season ‘
