Rationally we shouldn't, especially since everything then and before is proportional.

She's been getting glowing coverage and bump talk since her first debate and it hasn't done much. Whatever bumps she gets evaporate almost instantly.
Anglo-americans leaning towards Rubio has always been a great phenomena to me. He's just as rotten as the other folk there but I do have to hand it to him the way he plays up his past, heritage (lmao) and upbringing plus his young shine must be doing something to people's heads on the personality front. Cause there is not much besides that.
Cubans in the homeland must be biting their nails hoping that such clown gets demolished by Hillary is he's the nominee. Not that Cubans have options: Ileana, Cruz, Menendez, Balart, all clowns with a Cuban tag on Congress.

This is what a frontrunner looks like? Media is just ignoring the actual numbers and pushing their shitty narrative of CARSON IS LEADING.
Quoting for useful perspective.

missed the debate cuz i had to do homework...anyone willing to give a quick summary of what happened?
honestly, Fiorina shouldn't have even made the debate stage. I don't know why they aren't kicking more candidates to the kiddy table, isn't that why they have those debates in the first place?
Or is Reince worried that whittling down the pack will only help Trump consolidate his position even further?

If people don't start pulling out the RNC will strong arm the weaker candidates to pull out of endorse Rubio as a stop gap to avert a Trump/Carson nomination.

The Knicks tied their largest season opening victory in team history.
He's tailor made for Iowa, but I'm not so sure he'll take the lead nationally. One poll is one poll, Trump is still ahead on aggregate.

Christie hasn't been running for President for months now. He's just running for his own talk show really.

A combination of Evangelicals supporting one of their own, him riding the "political outsider" train, him being an Uncle Ruckus, and his "intellectualism" based on the fact that he's a neurosurgeon despite that he doesn't know shit about politics.
jeb ended his campaign on stage, then the rest of the candidates spent an hour and a half slapping the moderation team around

that's the thing. she does well *in debates* but does nothing in between said debates to keep her numbers up.
Trump is a master at keeping himself in the news cycle, no matter what happens. Cruz is an excellent campaigner. Carson has the evangelicals locked up. Rubio has the media doing his hard work for him, propping him up as the next Jeb!
LOL Jeb.

Exactly...you need a downright smooth operator like Bill Clinton to pull that stunt off. Not a big fat bully telling us he's good.
Fuck, Clint Eastwood should be running for President. He was mayor of Carmel, that's experience enough.
Basically he made a comment towards Rubio - I think about Rubio's awful attendance record that the questioner brought up - and was fucking powerbombed through the stage.
Rhetorically, of course. Jeb never recovered.
Even nationally though he always has favorable numbers through the roof. Every poll his numbers are absurdly good, even when factoring in the electorate as a whole.
It's not hard to see him taking over first.

I'm not sure. Carson changed his position on ethanol. Iowa won't be happy
Probably the only redeeming thing about the night. God damn.
It was like watching the film Kindergarten Cop, but Arnold never gave a fuck about the kids trashing the classroom. Also, he cured tumors before, so it's not a tumor.

He doesn't know shit about medicine either. The only question he was ever asked about medicine on stage was "Pants on fire"'d when he said too much vaccines may cause autism.
Favorability numbers don't always translate into actual support. If that were the case Joe Biden would be the Dem nominee without even running. All that number does is help explain the big number.
Oh, well he's straight fucked then as soon as that makes the rounds.
How do you do fellow kids

Btw, some of the questions were a bit ridiculous. I thought Christie, Cruz, and Trump slamming the moderators will play well to republicans.
Rubio, Cruz, Trump, Christie did well in my opinion. The worst was Jeb. Carson wasn't very good either but barely survived.
I think Kasich got more time than Trump and Carson. Apparently Jeb got the least.

Kasich is probably the most sane person on that stage, but his delivery isn't up to par to make it super effective. I think he reiterated his experiences too much and failed to actually answer most questions lobbied in his direction. He was given more prominent time tonight than any of the first two debates, but he kept harping on the same talking points which personally drew me away from him.

In terms of Hollywood non-Democrats running for President, Clint Eastwood would be pretty far down the list. Arnold Schwarzeneggar and Jesse Ventura would probably top the list, being former governors of California and Minnesota respectively.

The GOP candidates have been playing the liberal media card for ages and apply it to anyone and everyone when confronted to sidestep questions. It was perfected by Fox when it comes to relate-ability with the base and candidates have naturally adopted it.

His hypnovoice and eternal calm make that twice as much time as it appears on the clock.
Jeb on the role of government in society"Hell no to the federal government, however elect me president pls".
Especially towards the end when the moderator attempted to corrected Trump (the mod is wrong on this one) and the audience boo'd. The easiest applause lines are the ones about how biased the media is and how unfair the questions are. I think Carson and Trump are the big winners of the whole thing.
I'm disappointed Trump didn't go after Carson. Cruz might get a bump for his rant about the evil librul media. Some of those questions weren't necessarily liberal but just dumb. Jeb almost sounds like he sees the writing on the wall and doesn't have much to give. I guess the headline should be "3 Business Reporters Hurt 10 Millionaires Feelings on TV".

of course he is. his campaign is finished. "letting jeb be jeb" got him publically humiliated by rubio.
Carson and Trump are probably going to hold, or get minor bumps. Rubio and Cruz are going up big. Fiorina gets a slight bump. Huckabee holds. Everyone else craters.
