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.
Rubio swings both ways!
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!!!
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.
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.
Great piece. Thanks!
Actually, Rubio stumbled at the behest of one of the establishment’s other standard bearers—Chris Christie.
Makes me kind of think Rubio isn’t an establishment guy after all.
Look, one debate isn’t going to change my mind. But I do have to say, Kasich DID have a good night. So did Jeb and Christie.
Frankly, Rubio didn’t, in my opinion, have a terrible night. He just didn’t blow people away.
Trump had a decent night, too.
In terms of the debate per se, I think Carson had the worst night. He was almost ignored. I think that is too bad, ‘cause he is a very smart man.
I am still undecided. Sigh.
The Cheap Labor Express is having a much harder time getting their amnesty candidate and blocking the citizens from stopping them this time.
They will do whatever is necessary to stop us from electing a President who will enforce the laws.
I think Crispy Creme used his prosecutorial skills to lay a trap for Rubio and tripped it when the time was right. Regardless, it was well done.
