‘Trump kills it’
I’m all in on Trump!
Carson delivered in a BIG way? LOL. Chris Stirewald or whatever his name is just said that.
1) Cruz - eloquent and reasoned
2) Carson - calm, cool, and collected
3) Paul - had a good night finally
4) Trump - didn’t get much chance, but lacking details
5) Rubio - well-spoken and affable
6) Fiorina - just looked lost and repetitive
7) Jeb - very weak
8) Kasich - looked to be fighting Parkinson’s and desperate
Go Trump Go. He had a very good debate.
Add me to the “60 seconds would be better” list. Ted Cruz had the best closing answer though.
Liking Cruz but we need Trump for the win. The Dems will wrap his flat tax around his neck. Trump has fight and he displays it every time I see him.
‘Night, Duchess!
Sweet dreams....Trump did fine considering the shut out ;-)
Carson’s closing statement was awesome!
I like Trump, but.. bad night for him.
Kasich and Carly were HORRIBLE..
Jeb, was terrible.
Cruz and Rubio were very strong.
Paul needs to run for the Senate.
you win! lol
Maybe this “debate” helped same people make up their mind, but I doubt too many FReepers changed their mind. We’re all cheering for our candidate(s).
You both got it wrong on IRS. The IRS spend 95% of their time on checking deductions by individuals and businesses, and auditing the tax payers, and placing leans on tax payer bank accounts, and fighting tax payers in tax courts.
Above is necessary because of the 70,000 pages long tax code and 10,000 business and individual deductions.
If the tax system was straight forward with few or no deductions, 95% of IRS work goes away.
Even the fair tax (sales tax) requires some agency to collect taxes and make sure no one is cheating.
So tax collection never goes away under any system proposed, but the number of IRS agents drop by 95%.
My husband believes this BS too..no offense
Where is the money?
Going to go buy some real estate with our cash and pay for it, again.
It’s what I yelled at the set too !
Love how these post debate commentators just called Kasich and bush “incoherent.”
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! Let’s keep these guys off the stage, please.
Ben’s closing was about America rather than about himself. Rubio was so scripted he misspoke several times and never caught it.
Sheesh, the crowd's very tepid responses to Cruz are a red light. Something stink's in Denmark.
He has plenty LOL
Establishment audience, establishment FOX, so from here on out it will be Rubio Establishment candidate from FOX.
FBC saying Rubio might be the GOPe choice. Those folks are pure genius.
There are two adults on that stage: Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. There are four who should never be allowed near the White House: Carly FioRINO, John Kasich, Marco Rubio, and Yeb Bush. The doctors...are not executive administrators.
