Corey Lewandowski, the campaign manager for 2016 GOP frontrunner billionaire Donald Trump, bashed the Republican National Committee (RNC) for stacking the debate audience here with pro-amnesty consultant class party donor figures.
Lewandowski told Breitbart News in the spin room after the debate:
I think the RNC does a terrible job in allocating the tickets, to be honest with you, There's an opportunity--there's 2,000 seats out there, there's six candidates on stage, they should just divide them evenly so everyone has them, but instead they just give them to the donor class, they give them to the lobbyists and to all the special interests. It's not fair, it's not equitable. So I think what they should do moving forward is take the total number of seats available, allocate them across the board and let the candidates bring their people in, because that's who should be here, not the donors.
Repeatedly throughout the debate, the audience cheered as former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and his protege Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) consistently and repeatedly made the case to grant amnesty to illegal aliens, while the audience oddly booed both Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) as they made eloquent cases against amnesty.

This is one thing Cruz and Trump should agree on, No more audience, or the tickets are handed out according to poll averages.
Actually, I think Trump may have scored extra points off of the obvious bias of the crowd.
I agree. It exposes the gope for who they are.
I agree. No on despises The Buffoon more than I do, and I was turned off by the audience booing. Ridiculous, and it explains why every decent person, right or left, despises both political parties. Trump is still a fool, though, and will be a disaster (he will lose) if nominated by the GOP.
Yeah, corrupt.
Trying to subvert the will of the people by putting people who cheer illegals making the general public think the “oh hey, the majority of people are okay with illegal immigration, I guess I’m the odd one out” which is not the case.
As long as Trump keeps calling them out it will only help him.
Not only was the audience stacked, but they sounded rehearsed and coached.
Their cheering/booing and applause seemed to begin and end on queue.
If they want the audience to be cheerleaders, divide seats equally among candidates so everyone has a cheering section. Maybe some cute matching outfits to fit the clown show.
I don’t recall Ted being adamant about the “planted” audience.

The gope really wants for us to believe we are in the minority. I think that is why the huge Trump rally’s are so positive, and why Trump want the cameras to scan the crowd. It is so nice to know the enormous support we really do have, and they are the ones that are outnumbered.
Our political system is corrupt to the core from top to bottom.
I have a different take on this whole debate thing ...
If y’all have no idea who in the world you are voting for, by now, y’all might as well rent a shack in the swamp, or at least in Houma, LA, and stay there till after the end of hurricane season, which ends in November!
Trump has dominated EVERY debate, which has the RNC constantly having to wear their GOP-issued ‘depends’!
Trump seems to have encouraged them to show their true colors early on. What that spectacle did was signal loud and clear that the establishment STILL doesn't care what its voting fodder thinks.
That helped Trump. Nobody can accuse him of playing to the powers that be.
Good luck, stupid.
Trump will be giving his “buddy,” Reince Priebus, a piece of his mind over stacking the chamber with GOPe types.
The candidates should demand equal tickets.
