I flipped back to MSNBC and Trump was off. Now I just hear Rubio, talking too much.

Let’s do a little math, shall we? Trump says he is going to negotiate the price. That means I don’t get to negotiate. You don’t get to negotiate. Only Trump gets to negotiate. So how many fingers would you hold up to show how many price-negotiators there are? (Hint: Less than two)

Well, I am waiting for Cruz.

Rubio may be beneficial in some way but at this point I remember more of what Carson said than anything Rubio said.

His communication is way to fast, almost arrogant.

I hope one of the candidates asks Trump why he went so easy on Obama when Obama called him out and disrespected him, but he goes so hard against fellow conservatives. Is Trump a undercover liberal afraid of upsetting his base by going hard on Obama? Isn’t Trump supposed to support similar values as the other GOP candidates. I mean I get that they all have small differences in their approaches but have you looked at who’ve been running the show, there is no such thing as a moderate Democrat anymore all blue dogs were neutered with the Obamacare vote so there are bold differences between us and them, Trump should be forced to explain why he let Obama have a pass... that mediocre crap he said about Obama worst President, hell we all know that already here Trump Bots tell your boy to say this....You know after Obama said I will never be President and some personal reflection I may have been a little hard on GWB about protecting us on 911 but I must say this as far as Obama is concerned he is the one that actually lost all the gains in Iraq, lost Afghanistan created ISIS and what he should be doing is apologizing to the families and loved ones of all those killed in the San Bernardino, Boston Marathon, Benghazi, Fort Hood, Terror attacks which were planned and launched under his watch. His inept weakness caused those poor people to die and he owes their families and this nation an apology..

“I DO NOT LIKE TRUMP! HE IS A LIAR WHO HAS LIBERAL VIEWS!”

13 factorial equals 6,227,020,800. You’ve barely scratched that many variations on your not liking Trump, so keep ‘em coming!

Trump is steady... Professional — like a doctor who’s been practicing for years. He has that finesse. Rubio sounds like a schoolboy in comparison.

No disrespect to Rubio ... He just needs to ripen up for 20 or 30 years.

To be clear, those who don’t support Trump are Real Americans, too!

I’m for Cruz..

Rudio’s performance was very presidential, the people are listening.

First, Trump said he'd introduce competition. Second, he said he'd eliminate the state restrictions. Third, he said he'd leverage the huge volume of the US market in negotiating drug buys.

That was all he got out, in about 4 or 5 seconds, before they interrupted him.

You disingenuously omitted almost every point he made.

Not all of us like Trump. Your numbers do not account for the conservative base.

Trump is for free market healthcare. He favors health savings accounts, insurance competition across state lines. For the very needy he will find a way to help them get healthcare access.

He also favors having the federal government pay the healthcare costs for the 25% of the population without insurance. Not even ObamaCare goes that far.

Same with Cruz.

Both have 3 or 4 more POTUS election cycles before they hit prime age...mid 60s.

Both have a big future I believe. Although it’s also very possible another R POTUS is never elected again.

What some may have missed because he spoke quickly, but the guy there is a Sheriff, and from what he said, he and his fellow Sheriffs want Trump, his words were, “we need Trump”.
