Holy Jesus fuck.
The fuck is this?
God. Seriously.
Ugh.
...
Shut up Cruz. Fuck you.
Fuck this country. If any of these people get elected we all deserve to die.

That shouting match was a great example of why beating Trump still makes you look idiotic.

No. No. I agree. This wasn't funny tonight. This was disgusting. This was just ridiculous.
Anyone want a poll?
Morning Consult National
Hillary 50 (+3)
Bernie 35 (-4)
Trump 42 (+1)
Rubio 19 (+5)
Cruz 14 (+2)
I don't mind it. You can't discuss policy seriously in 60 seconds anyway. The more people think it's a joke the better.

Yes. It was that bad. It was just awful. Cruz/Rubio/Trump spent minutes just screaming at each other.
Rubio scored a few points, but I don't think it will have any effect. Cruz got bodied by Trump a few times, though.
This was just disgusting.
He got a good lick in at one point but Trump is just shouting over everyone and being a boor so he'll do well with the base as always.
At one point a moderator asked him a question and Trump insulted the guys ratings. He's in full bully mode.

This probably won't translate into votes. You're OK.

Pretty sure the media is going to focus on that Rubio and Donald exchange. Perhaps it was too early, but the most important thing is that the Trump can be stumped.
Ted Cruz pretty much lost I think.

You're lucky.
You're so god damn lucky.
I didn't have enough narcotics in my system to make this enjoyable.
The last debate was much worse.
Same!

By what measure. We're seeing record turnouts so far.

If you take out all the pauses for the audience you might actually have time to talk for 2 minutes (not that it's much more time). The bigger point is candidates wouldn't be able to get away with so much rehearsed patter, there's no late night monologue if there's no laughing audience.
Would it fix the problem? Of course not they'll still patter, but it would reward the politicians who go for more substantive answers as opposed to the current model where you get rewarded for just making the audience react.
Without the cheers and jeers of the audience I don't think Donald gets anywhere as far as he does now.
People say Rubio won every debate. We'll see on Tuesday
You probably Facebook chat with other platforms that have RubiOS loaded

I wonder how different this race would have been if they had come after Trump like this earlier.

More Graham: If you kill Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial is at the Senate, no one will convict you.

What's wrong with the other 62% of people? We don't know who the Zodiac killer was so of course it *could* be Ted Cruz. /s

Rubio did a very good job attacking Trump. Cruz was also effective but didn't have nearly as much time. Rubio has been effective all debate season at exploiting the debate laws to get as much speaking time as possible, and he continued this tonight.
Kasich had a good performance but is simply too sane to win this thing. His answers on religious liberty outraged the conservatives I follow on twitter, for instance.
Last point: I think this debate proved that while Trump is probably the nominee, he can be defeated if the field narrows. He looked like a fool debating Rubio and Cruz tonight. If either could get him into a 1v1 situation I think he just might fold. But the question becomes: do voters care? They haven't cared at all about his vapid answers for the last few months, why would they care now. Still...it's perhaps the only path I see to beating him.

Trump has better favorables than Rubio in his home state. Those PPP numbers are woeful for Rubio.

Trump said there won't be a contested convention and this should be done pretty quickly.
