how did Kaisak get on the stage? I thought he was relegated to the kiddie debate?

and why does he look like he is about to cry?

[RitaOK]

Trump is after money for America. Foreign students and established foreign professionals help feed the engine of American and bring jobs! Not illegal socialists who are invading us with their hand out and no education, for us to support. Get it?

[Paul R.]

“Balok” was just a mask for a babyface anyway...

[Jrabbit]

ROFL!!!!

[tflabo]

Kasich just grates on the ears. Ease back Ohio man.

[A CA Guy]

Trump should walk off.

[LostInBayport]

Kasich is the party guest who shows up and makes everyone roll their eyes and become very interested in helping in the kitchen

[Girlene]

lol, YES.

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks for the mention. I’m not watching.

Kasich, after the debate

[refreshed]

Rubio knockout of Bush was pretty good too.

[Duchess47]

H1B - he is against companies bringing in people from overseas to take American jobs but believes that brilliant overseas students at our universities should be able to stay here, two different things.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

please take John Kasich please....

John, if you hold your arms out it makes it harder for them to throw the net over you.

[SamAdams76]

Too many people at this debate but here's my take on who won:

Trump
Cruz
Rubio

Those three are in the top tier.

Honorable mention goes to Christie and Carson

Tippie Toes and Carly were flat - they did not fail but neither did they help themselves.

Huckabee and Paul made little impact

Kasich hands down is the ass of the night.

Trump had a nice dig at “Becky the mod”, too.

[jennychase]

Lot of student do great research , retaining them is important. I am one of them, I had patents etc and got my Green Card by E1 category within 6 months and later citizenship.

Thank you Ted Cruz for mentioning grocery prices! I went for my weekly case of sticker shock earlier today

Yes, and this is one of only 4 years no COLA for Soc. Sec. recipients—I am not a senior, but just interesting how prices keep rising, yet no inflation is reported....

[Califreak]

Tippytoes dialing in from south of the border

[pghoilman]

So true. And Boulder pretty damn liberal.

On Twittre:

Trump's campaign issues page does in fact call Rubio "Mark ZUckerberg's personal" senator
