Yeah kind of hilarious how inverted the reality is. The Republican's bench couldn't be bigger and there's no obvious winners. Same problem over in Congress with getting a new speaker of the house.
Meanwhile, the democrats can relax knowing that they've 8 years to build their bench up.

You're right, but so is Fiorina. We'd all love to see a cat fight between the two!

I think that Rubio and Cruz "won", but this was a poor night for the Republican party

Trump's closing statement.
Especially with the crowd booing the moderator.

Bush in last place. It's fucking over.
TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP
I think that this might be the main headline. Bush is on thin, thin ice, and Rubio knows he'd be the prime beneficiary. Rubio's return fire wasn't a knockout though, just due to the sheer density of the format. The audience is forced to file that moment away with a litany of other moments from the two-hour, ten-contestant event.
After tonight, I'd love to hear what Michael Steel thinks about Jeb staying in for the long run.

Lol, I noticed that too.
Yes.
Yes no fucking idea why they lied about that. So many people knew going in.

This debate was one of the worst ever, somehow this debate focused on fewer subjects than the others and at times with the least amount of substance with candidates going after each other earlier to the people going after the moderators. Moderators were crap after the first bit and progressively got worse. I think they only really talked about medicare, social security, healthcare, the economy being crap, and the government being crap, and that's it.
If I was a Republican I don't think I really learned anything besides enjoying the mods and the government being shit on. This was one of the most pessimistic debate those far. Also this looked like Scot Walker moment for Jeb.

Wait what did Trump actually say at the end, word for word?
CNBC wanted a 3 hours debate and he and Ben got them to change it to 2 hours.

I loved how he unabashedly called them out on their bullshit right on the spot. I pretty much figured he was right, considering how adamant he was about them lying.

CNBC fed Bush softballs, which basically screwed Bush over.
You want hardballs to complain about in order to get over in these debates.

I'd say they were worse than the candidates themselves.

I see Rubio and Christie seeing bumps and Carson starting to drop. He's not aggressive enough, and lacks so much charisma he looks and sounds like Droopy Dog up there.

Fiorina definitely hijacked her time in the spotlight, lol

On the one hand, I love that Democrats are increasingly looking like they are set to utterly steamroll this election. On the other hand, if this debate is a portent of a future 'new normal' of political elections then I'm worried. Hopefully it's just a last gasp and better things are ahead.

Talk times from NPR:
Fiorina 10:32
Rubio 10:10
Kasich 9:42
Trump 9:26
Christie 8:31
Huckabee 7:39
Cruz 7:34
Carson 7:02
Bush 6:39
Paul 6:15
Those times were super off compared to poll numbers.

In part they absolutely were .
I doubt they wanted to give Trump too much time, they probably realized that the more they let him talk the better he does.

And let's hope Scalia is too arrogant to retire.

Aside from the boundary points of Fiorini/Bush, it seems like a good spread of talking time if you were hoping for equal distribution. Or maybe given the shorter time it's not that good because discrepancies are proportionally worse? Let me try to look up the earlier debates.
