VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
He shouldn't be on that stage with his current polling, so I think that's fair. He will be in the little kids debate next time.

My thoughts exactly.
Also, Fiorina is so fucking ruthless!!!
It's drudge, but DAMN.

It's nonsense, but he made Jeb look real weak and Cruz's base will eat that up.

Not at all. She got shaken when Trump called out her business record and she never recovered --clearly devastated since then

Fiorina got destroyed after the first couple of questions. It's been downhill from there.

Jeb is even taking hits from Cruz and Paul. What a disaster of a night for him.

I'm looking at it from two angles when it comes to Fiorina's performance; how good her arguments ARE, and how good her arguments SEEM.
Her arguments have been positively terrible, getting worse every time that she speaks. However, the impression of them, I believe, will be very favorable among the viewers, and sadly, that's all that matters.
Just like Trump, she sounds convincing, even if logically, her arguments are full of fallacious holes. We can't ignore that how we assess these arguments (from a rational point of view) is not necessarily how the viewers will, and I have to account for that when predicting how well she will do this election season.

I didn't think he'd bomb this bad
lmao the pity high five from trump
"heh nice joke there jeb, let me show you how its done"
oops this is the legitimate pol(l)icy discussion thread *AHEM*
Those drinking games were a mistake, my body is rejecting itself right now. I didn't expect the debate to be this much of an unstructured reality tv show, but then again what was I really expecting?

Rubio sounds like Alfred Bester from Babylon 5.
Wow, Jeb did so fucking awful. Trump was a bit weaker tonight, but I don't think he'll be hurt at all. And Carly did well enough, aside from weakening near the end. Regardless, holy crap, this debate. Sometimes I feel like drinking. Tonight is one of those nights, and Cruz+Huckabee are so especially vile.
Tarkus

No, he made a lot of sense to a lot of people tonight. He was probably the most sensible and reasonable on the stage tonight.
It was a much better performance for him in terms of positions than the 1st debate.

there's no excuse for that tweet there's nothing in that that isn't anti-semetic. There's a way to criticize their israel stances without being an antisemite

These are my thoughts as well, and the polls will reflect this.
Carson is going to plummet.

Fiorina will rise at Carson's expense.

Not seeing any anti-semetism there. Frankly I'm tired of the exceptionalism Israel receives from politicians, and I find it even more insulting that so much of it is based on apocalyptic religious views and/or financial incentives. Seeing American politicians go out of their way to disrespect a sitting US president in order to heap praise on an Israel Prime Minister disgusts me. Seeing politicians on that stage go out there way to praise Israel sure looks a lot like the behavior they display to the wealthy and powerful. An exchange is going on. We see it with the wealthy in terms of taxes/finance/regulation laws/etc: I cut your taxes, you give me donations. And we see it with Israel: I give you carte blanche to terrorize brown people, you give me donations.
One thing I'm glad about is that waning religious views in the US will eventually lead to Israel being isolated.

I think you will be correct.
When I try to remember anything he said tonight I can only hear the noise Charlie Brown's parents make.
Man it's hilarious how much of an utter no-show Walker was.
Came in here to say this. Carson was terrible.

Don't know why you guys are so eager to stake a claim as to who will do what in the polls. Nobody here claimed Carson would rise after the first debate.
I'll let the polls tell us.
