Looking back Trump is right. Bush broke Iraq and we now see the outcome. On an outcome level I’m struggling to see a difference between Bush and Obama. Trump just won over Independents and Democrats.

People underestimate the effect Trump is having on working class Democrats, . . guys and gals fed up with Unions, guys and gals that work hard and see the country going to Hell. These people are not stupid, they have families and kids. . they worry about their kids. . and grandkids. . they see what's going on with Obama and his 'fundamental transformation'. . It's taken a while, but I think more and more Americans are starting to get it. .

"That is exactly what has happened on this forum since Trump started. Trump’s “It will be great; I am great; I’m the greatest; Only great me can do it.” He said that about every subject. That kind of rhetoric allows one to imagine whatever outcome they want “great” to be."

That's precisely how he sounds. I sincerely don't know how anyone could buy into it.

A Jeff Spicoli wanna-be.

...and then Jake Tapper cuts him off. Again. What is the problem with Tapper? Cruz barely finishes a sentence and that drippy little worm cuts him off.

[UnwashedPeasant]

BAM!

Cruz cut off by moderator Again.

But he still won the exchange!

[crusty old prospector]

How come every time Cruz speaks, Tapper starts his interrupting yapping?

[LS]

You guys---some for Trump, some hating him---missed the point tonight. You all treat it like it was something big, broad, aimed at "the public." Nope. Trump had one goal tonight. It wasn't to smack down Yeb and Paul (he did both). It wasn't to "appear presidential."

Trump is a brilliant tactician who attacks tasks like a businessman, namely, get to yes. Make the sale.

He is leading in every single poll and only one person was remotely close. Who was that? Fiorina? Cruz? Rubio?

I submit to you that the tactician went into this debate with one goal, to widen the gulf between himself and ... Ben Carson. Did he do that?

If what I read here is remotely accurate, he succeeded 100% and didn't get his hands dirty, not even attacking Carson once.

Next week you will see Trump unchanged in the polls, but you will see his victory margin wider because the GOPe stopgap, Carson, will have lost ground.

Pretty obvious they are trying to shut down Cruz. At least 4 times now they try to stop Cruz in mid sentence.

[Chauncey Uppercrust]

Am worried about how the msm pollsters are going to go with this, but good first sign is that Trump is 50 + % so far on Drudge right now

TRUMP 62.68% (75,700 votes)

FIORINA 14.26% (17,226 votes)

PAUL 5.39% (6,509 votes)

CRUZ 5.35%

Rubio is a lady at the podium and a whore in Washington DC

Silence is golden, especially in the middle of a dope discussion

I have always been old fashioned on drugs. The best deterrence to taking drugs is to execute the large scale suppliers. Starting with the pushers of hard drugs, Hang’em high!

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

-— And there it is - stopping Cruz again. -—

He ran over his 30 seconds. I don’t remember them interrupting Carly.

Go TED GO!!!!!!

[so_real]

+1 for Rubio -- strong argument.

[angelcindy]

i think some on this stage was given questions ahead of time

[gwgn02]

Tapper’s #1 job seems to be to cut off Cruz

Rand has the same opinion on heroin.
