New Hampshire is the Establishment's launching pad for their preferred candidates. It's why they allow democrats and independents to vote in the republican primaries, so that with their help the more liberal candidates gain momentum when going into more conservative territory, the South.

That had to be one of the best debates I’ve ever watched!

The GOP establishment’s Golden Boy Rubio is fading and the rest of the tier is focusing their fire on him instead of on Trump.
Time to break out the Maalox.

That's what I thought as well. Moderators not talking over, allowing all to speak without interruptions.
Ted Cruz was the indisputable winner on all issues and facts. CRUZ was Presidential.
Christi was outstanding and came in 2nd.
Trump, just being his obnoxious self.
Carson.....well what can one say....

You didn’t mention BUSH. He is ‘surging’ in the polls. Go figure.

As Bill Mitchell said this morning:
“There’s a lot of yelling going on in the halls of the GOPe” to which I tweeted: “...and a lot of wet pants!”....
GO.TRUMP.GO!!!

It's why they allow democrats and independents to vote in the republican primaries, so that with their help the more liberal candidates gain momentum when going into more conservative territory, the South. Which is why we should be thankful for Bernie. Hopefully the two commies will duke it out all the way to the convention, so there aren't any crossover voters.

If BUSH somehow gets the nomination by hook & crook at the Republican convention, there will be a historic revolt from the GOP.

Jeb is the man who wasn’t there. Ask Barbara, his mom.

Jeb attacked Trump regarding eminent domain when his own family has resorted to it. Jeb’s bringing up handicapped was weird since he was the one who allowed Terri Schiavo to die a horrific death even though he could have saved her.

I think Democrats are too locked into their own Bernie/Hillary war to cross over and vote against Trump.

Trump actually benefitted from being ignored for large stretches of time. Since none of the other candidates mentioned him, there was no obligation for the moderators to go to him to get his responses to him being mentioned. This gave Christie the chance to nail Rubio on his canned talking points, and in general the other candidates to flounder amongst one another.So finally when Trump was directly asked a question it had a lot more impact than it otherwise would’ve had-—sort of like the way the F word is used onstage in a play ONLY ONCE, out of the blue, rather than every minute or so.So basically (even though I haven’t looked at the “polling” in the aftermath) I think Trump won anyway, even though I can see how some of them, like Kasich? gained a few approval points.

Ok, BUSH......will that do it? lol
