He’s not a left wing Democrat—he has a daughter who has probably pointed out to him that that’s where a lot of women get affordable birth control.

W. certainly didn’t have good reason to invade Iraq. Iran was the real trouble maker, but he ignored that and had his intelligence agencies put together the best case they could against Iraq. And yes, continuing his Daddy’s vendetta was a likely reason for that.

Trump is a good, but certainly not perfect, conservative.

And he is indeed boorish.

People working for organizations like the National Review are even more dependent on the GOPe/RINO donor class than GOP pols are. GOP pols at least get their salaries and pensions from taxpayers.

They likes of Lowry get every penny from their donors.

You can be sure President Trump won’t be bowing down before the Saudi king, holding hands with him, or kissing him.

Every question from the moderators was designed to start a fight.

The booing, fake or real will have no effect whatsoever.

BUT it really doesn’t matter, see my new tagline.

Pravda has respect for Trump.

Trump was right on the money all night long.

They want to fight their 15 year war with no end and keep killing Americans, AND they want to start another war.

Bush wants BWIII, Bush War III.

Rich Lowery is a traitor to this nation.

Whoever wants to get us out of that damn war is a patriot. I don’t want my son risking his life over there again so idiot politicians can put a feather in their cap.

FIFTEEN damn years they’ve been killing our sons and daughters. Lousy bastard traitors.

It’s that simple!

All these debates—which really aren’t classical debates at all, but TV game shows—are total setups putting the candidates at the mercy of the GOPe and the media. This one was probably worst of all, as the audience was obviously primed to jeer at Trump and Cruz as much as possible, rather than the “good old days” when any audiences were admonished to keep silent until the end of the debate.

The public should get away from the idea that watching them is how to pick a candidate. The candidates should only participate in a few, long-form debates without audiences.

Nor will he grab him by the beard and spit in his face. But Mooslim Kingy Boy will feel like he did. Or worse.

Note to Rich Lowrey:

You tried, you failed. Now its time to hunker down and let the incomings do their damage. With luck to you, you will not take a direct hit. But when you make yourself visible again, all the majority of us can see is a big fat sissified bulls-eye with your face on it.

He did just fine. Had the others had the audience and the moderators, not to mention the other candidates, stacked against them like Trump had, they would have collapse in a heap on the floor. It’s obvious the leftist media is scared of a Trump nominee.

I have been reading numerous articles this morning, and it is amazing how many rabid, well-known Trump haters are writing their articles under the guise of objectivity.

My most negative impression is astonishment at Jeb!. Someone gave him bad advice. If he thinks he helped himself...

The other candidates not only change their style, they change their content, if previous content wasn’t working for them...especially Rubio and Jeb...with Kasich and Carson who really cares...Carson has turned into such a Mr.MoonBean....

Trump and Cruz have save message, same style...the thing I like about Cruz’s style...he goes toe toe with Trump and Rubio...doesn’t fold like Jeb and everyone else did.

Will be hard for establishment to take out Trump and Cruz...because the others just have 2 many warts.

You're totally unbiased.

Trump is an unrestrained bully unfit to be President.

Trump is trashy. No trash for President!

She has Trump nailed. He shows little sign of growing up, and I won't vote for an utter jerk.

If Trump became president, he would use his power to settle scores with anyone who criticized him. I don't want this tyrant and lout to be president!

The first sentence of that last comment is probably what Trump will do. Good for him!

Cruz looked shell shocked that he was getting boo’d.

Trump looked like ‘whatever’.

The problem about all the other things PP does is mostly they don’t. Call PP and tell them you need a mammogram and they will REFER you to some place that does mammograms. You may or may not be able to get a pap smear done. Very, very few of the PP clinics offer much in the way of women’s health services other than abortion and birth control. They are dependant on doctors spending time away from their practices to offer these services, so a woman never has a relationship with a specific doctor - the care at best is limited and inconsistent.

What PP does best and most is abortion. The public funding would be better spent on properly staffed women’s clinics that offer full services.
