Video @ link.
Nice reference link for anyone who may have missed the debate.
I missed a sizable 20 minute chunk, so I will be reliving the magic forthwith.
As a side note, here is my favorite exchange in the debate, and possible the best visual moment is Chris Wallace's expression @ approximately 1:06:01:
TRUMP: Let me just tell you about the lenders. First of all, these lenders aren't babies. These are total killers. These are not the nice, sweet little people that you think, OK?
(LAUGHTER)
(APPLAUSE)
You know, I mean you're living in a world of the make-believe, Chris, you want to know the truth.
(APPLAUSE)
And I had the good sense to leave Atlantic City, which by the way, Caesars just went bankrupt. Every company, Chris can tell you, every company virtually in Atlantic City went bankrupt.
Every company.
And let me just tell you. I had the good sense, and I've gotten a lot of credit in the financial pages, seven years ago I left Atlantic City before it totally cratered, and I made a lot of money in Atlantic City, and I'm very proud of it. I want to tell you that. Very, very proud of it.
WALLACE: So...
TRUMP: And by the way, this country right now owes $19 trillion. And they need somebody like me to straighten out that mess.

For later...
I recorded it live without any intention at all of watching it—life’s too short. I just wanted to have it in case a fist fight broke out. I must say, I was disappointed.
Once was enough.
Only hearing the audio reminds me of how people who didn't have television listened to the JFK/Nixon debate on radio, and they thought Nixon won. It's important to see this debate on TV.
The set-up against Trump was so obvious, it's laughable; regardless of Trump's subsequent, and reactionary, problems.
(But I hope Fox doesn't pull a “Hillary Clinton” and tamper with the audio and make the “boos” sound louder for Trump or turn down the applause. The audience was “booing” the 1st question, NOT Trump.)
Once was too much for me. :-)

When they have it down from seventeen “candidates” to a competitive handful, I might begin paying it a bit of attention. But I live in California, so preparing to vote in a primary is irrelevant to me. Indeed, even the general is an exercise in futility here. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
• KELLY: Governor Walker, in February you said that we needed to gain partners in the Arab world. Which Arab country not already in the U.S. led coalition has potential to be our greatest partner?
WALKER: What about then, we need to focus on the ones we have. You look at Egypt, probably the best relationship we’ve had in Israel, at least in my lifetime, incredibly important.
You look at the Saudis — in fact, earlier this year, I met with Saudi leaders, and leaders from the United Arab Emirates, and I asked them what’s the greatest challenge in the world today? Set aside the Iran deal. They said it’s the disengagement of America. We are leading from behind under the Obama-Clinton doctrine — America’s a great country. We need to stand up and start leading again, and we need to have allies, not just in Israel, but throughout the Persian Gulf.”
Then Scott Walker was asked about Iran: “To me, you terminate the deal on day one, you reinstate the sanctions authorized by Congress, you go to Congress and put in place even more crippling sanctions in place, and then you convince our allies to do the same. This is not just bad with Iran, this is bad with ISIS. It is tied together, and, once and for all, we need a leader who’s gonna stand up and do something about it.”
What does it mean, “This is not just bad with Iran, this is bad with ISIS. It is tied together . . .”?? Egypt is in Israel? Who knew?
