Trump had a big lead in the polls and had a rare opportunity to show that he could rise above the rancor and speak positively and policy specifics. He chose to sling mud with the rest, too bad - he could have been a leader. Don Rickles had more decorum.

The debate was a shameful embarrassment of petulant 2nd graders. I thought at one point one of the candidates was going to say "I'm rubber your glue what ever you say bounces off me and sticks to you". We were treated to "your a liar" "no you are a liar" ad homeinem and avoided policy and principle for cheap shots, one liners and bravado. I am humiliated by the lack of maturity of tonight's debate and can only wonder if CBS was delighted at the display of a circular firing squad of clowns.

Oh well. We are sick and tired of candidates being nice. You can vote for the Pope if you want, but most of us want a strong President who won't take crap. I don't want another wuss for President. We have had 4 in a row. No more. Trump is a fighter and that is why he will win. At another time, Trump would never make it, but these are critical times for America. We are done if we don't fix this mess. The LAST thing we need is another milquetoast like Cruz, Bush, Rubio, Kasich, or even Carson.

Trump 2016.

What, Trump is supposed to sit there as a GOPe audience, moderators and other candidates gang up on him? The entire electorate is describing itself as mad as hell, which is why they’re voting Trump. If you’re not so bad, I guess you go listen to Ted Cruz preach a sermon about stuff that doesn’t really matter.

I think we need at least another dozen ‘debates’. /s

Really? I’m mildly embarrassed that chimpanzees wear no shoes.

Vicarious guilt is an amazing thing.
