Breitbart ^ | 9/17/2015 | John Fleischman

Posted on 09/17/2015 5:10:30 PM PDT by LS

On Wednesday, the normally peaceful and sedate atmosphere of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley was transformed into a hectic, crowded and high-energy setting as the eyes of America, and many in the world, tuned into the second round of the GOP Presidential Debates.

Michael Reagan is notoriously anti-Trump. I'm guessing Arnold is too.

IIRC correctly Trump got at least one big round of applause last night. Maybe two.

That’s because there are no Trump donors...

Did he not say he was not collecting money?

Like I said before, i’d rather have clinton beat carly and have things come to a head sooner rather than later so we can take this country back.

i’ll vote for Cruz or Trump only.

True---but that doesn't mean there aren't Trump supporters. If that was purely opened to the public, it would have been overwhelming. So, we have one debate in Cleveland (Kasich's back yard with tickets controlled by the Cleveland area GOP and OH Central Committee) and one in limited seating by the CA GOP.

The audience response was pathetic, especially when he started hammering illegals and they didn't even clap. Really? That's representative of the GOP?

You really think things haven;t come to head w/Obama? There will be nothing to take back after Hilary.

The problem wasn’t anti-Trump donors, the problem was Trump wasn’t prepared. He’s got to start taking debates seriously.

Sure there are Trump supporters. But we are not going to let Bill and Hillary in to our debate... :)

Guess you missed the rallies in Mobile and Dallas. 50k combined there. Don’t think Bill OR Hillary were present.

Well they definitively left Cruz out also. Shocking lack of applause. He actually had none after his introductory spiel.

Yes, but more because of moderator ignoring him. He did well when he had a chance.

I noticed that. That was pretty rude. The same people who call us vulgar.

But...but...according to Carly, Republicans have been talking about illegal immigration for years and years.

Problem is, that's all they've done. Talk.

What do we do? after last night, it’s obvious the media, hollywood, the press, even fox are against us.

the one person to step up is being torn apart from all angles.

they’re already pushing polls saying carly is tied with trump.

he should release her manifesto on how muslim culture is so great. but no one would read it.

we elected a republican majority for nothing.

What is there left to do? An insurrection would be stomped by the new gay liberal military transsexual woman leaders.

How far has cloning come? Can we clone Reagan?

Well, if they could not be there in person, I am sure they were cheering their sock puppet on in spirit...

We all know that It is not easy for Trump to fill Ross Perot’s shoes.

In this current climate, this will backfire. They’re just stoking the fire for Trump supporters.

I backed up to see if the first speakers were applauded and they were. Of course Trump and Cruz and kind of tied at the hip right now. Pretty sure Trump gestured at Cruz and said “Ted and I have talked about that” at one point.
Cruz is my one and only, would vote for Trump if he is nominee I think. What do I know? I was inspired by Goldwater at age 13 and have been conservative since.
BUT - I heard a call on Levin show a few minutes ago on my way home. Levin said whether you are for him or are planning to vote for him or note, Cruz is the purist and needs to be heard from. He laid blame on the GOP/RNC.
