“Trump is not and never has been conservative. Really looked like a silly angry whinger tonight. But he was funny.”

Trump is unending the GOP-e. Needs to be done, whatever the outcome.

As soon as the debate ended Trump and Cruz ran to each other to shake hands.

I think there is something going on behind the scenes with these two.

I know, but voters are very forgiving if they like you. And he comes across well. He’s going to be a top tier candidate. I suspect he’ll benefit more than anyone from tonight’s showing.

I’m afraid his numbers, at best, may rise a bit with Repoblicans and tank with voters in general.

Agreed. I have been a fan of Kelly's as her career blossomed. But ... as she's grown, so has she evolved into a tool. Not at all impressive tonight. Of everyone on stage, she was the biggest loser tonight. I'm disappointed.

Trump did himself no favors. Cruz, Rubio, Carson, Walker and Fiorina demonstrated to me high intellect and the ability to lead. That says nothing about their conservatism but it is indicative of their ability to win.

I’m very sure that is being done right now.

Thanks for the thread Jim.

The only thing “marginalized” tonight was FNC and Meghan Kelly.
Cruz got ripped off along with Carson.
Trump was attacked hard and punched their nose early.

I suggest FNC get out of the “debate” business.

Wow! 2000 comments on Megyn’s FB and not one, that I’ve read, is positive. Hope she reads it before her show next. Talk about a slap down! She really stuck her foot in it tonight.

Observations on this faux news clown show:

1. Obvious that the audience was handpicked to be averse to conservatives.

2. Obvious that Kasich is being groomed to be the uniparty replacement for jebito when he fails.

3. The arseholes flacking for faux made you yearn for fairer questioners like rachel madcow and Candy Crowley.

4. Conservatives were shorted on being asked questions relative to the progressives.

5. Impressed with the overall quality of candidates as compared to 2012.

Clear winners:

Trump in spite of the attack dogs
Cruz
Huckster
Surprisingly...Carson

Clear losers

That has to be one of the worst run debates I’ve ever seen. Fox blew their chance to be fair completely. What a train wreck

You sure that noise wasn't one of those false eyelashes falling off and getting sucked down her tonsils?

Because Fox has only one goal and that is to shove a GOPe candidate down our throats.

That was absolutely terrible.

As far as I’m concerned, I’d like there to be more than just a handful of debates. I want a couple of nights where 4 or 5 get asked a few questions and are allowed to go at with each other.

I want cross-party debates way before the nominees are chosen. I want debates about a few limited topics. One could be entirely on foreign policy, and how they’ll tackle it. Another on taxes, and how to fix it.
