WOOHOO FR researchers!!!

[Yaelle]

Jeb just takes the bait.

Jeb appears to be dumb.

[Marcella]

This is going to be over soon, and I’ll get a glass of Amaretto to go into the night hours listening to the pundits on Fox and CNN to see who gets the roses for so-called “winning”.

[Kenny]

Carson’s numbers are going to nose dive after his performance tonight.

I don't know. He's talking conservative. Trump is the only one with a hopeful, positive message.

[Freedom56v2]

Christie: “We’re $18 trillion in debt and we’re talking about fantasy football?” Big laugh.

Cruz shown applauding him.

Great moment!

That’s why I pay no attention to polls. They are meaningless especially online polls. People were not answering the question honestly.

Exactly

The only way to cure all diseases is “total prosthetic body replacement”. And that has a bunch of ethics and technology issues to solve first....

Michael Savage has started taking claim for starting the Tea Party.

I was watching CNBC the day when Santelli started the Tea Party. Savage needs to take his meds.

Kasich was an utter disgrace tonight. Contemptible performance. His attempted takedown of Trump was the act of a desperate man at zero percent in the polls. I hope this is the last time we see him on the national stage.

Maybe he's a good governor for Ohio. Well he should go back there and stay there.

[Revel]

“I could support anyone of these candidates except for John Kasich. He should be running against Hillary and Sanders for the democrat ticket. I think everyone else tonight did well.”

You really should pay attention to what these people are on record for and not just go by what they say in the debates. You should not be supporting most of them for president.

[Freedom56v2]

Kasich should run as a Democrat—he wants a lot of same programs :(

[heights]

Cruz stands no chance of winning against Hillary, absolutely zero. Joe blue collar worker will never vote for him.

[matginzac]

Like Denny Hastert....?

[infool7]

lol, I saw that and half thought he was going to pull his piece and wave it around.

[Kenny]

The witch getting the last word again.

Rubio is against anything that is bad for his mother
