Hillary is going to do a lot worse against Trump in a debate than some people here think. You can bank on it. Hillary is much better at brawling with people who by their nature become embarrassed when things get overly testy, and then proceed to fall back. Trump will keep going.

So long as he's forced to speak of the specifics of his "policies" she should be okay.

Hillary is very good at taking criticism and watching her opponents hang themselves in their own stupidity. Just ask the Bengazhi committee.

So explain how W beat out Al Gore and John Kerry if people demand substance in GE debates.

If anything Trump is like Super W, all the charisma and all the bluster and absolutely no substance whatsoever but who needs substance when you like the guy?

The electorate is a lot different today than when W was elected. Trump's disadvantage with minorities alone dooms him in the general.

You could find a better analogy because Al Gore won the popular vote!

My take away from this debate... Carson: Can somebody attack me please ?

Carson may whine he didn't get much speaking time but then when he got to speak he did absolutely nothing with it.

I swear, he is straight up debate antimatter. Immediate annihilation of any debate momentum. Sucks the air right out.
 
lmao in any normal universe Kasich won this debate. Rubio and Cruz are racist warmongers and Trump is a bag of hot air.

In this bizarro time period we live in though, Trump definitely dominated.

W lost the popular vote and some will argue lost the electoral vote also if there was a recount in Florida
 
Speaking of Hillary, I was loving the Hillary fear mongering going on.

"Trump can't defeat Hillary, only I am strong enough to defeat Hillary! Pledge yourself to me and I shall save you from this great terror."
 
I remember when Bush got reelected...I along with pretty much everyone else in Canada and probably the rest of the world was shocked. It's still pretty shocking tbh

It's so obviously Morning Joe. The man has been kissing his ass this entire time.
Can you accidentally kill an intern you're having an affair with and still be Vice President?

Allegedly. Allegedly kill. Allegedly having an affair with.

I'm just asking questions.

Nobody's even going to remember that DonTron pulled a Macro Reboot and repeated his line three or four times.
Trump repeats himself all the time. It's stupid but its a rhetorical strategy and wholly intentional on his part. He knows how to sell.

Rubio is only consistent at one thing -- being a loser.

Rubio was #3 in Iowa.

Rubio was #5 in New Hampshire.

Rubio was #2 in South Carolina, but he *barely* beat Ted Cruz here. (Rubio 22.48% vs Cruz 22.34%) Rubio had the endorsement of South Carolina governor Nikki Haley, and he STILL lost to Trump.

Rubio was #2 in Nevada, but he barely beat Ted Cruz here. (Rubio 23.9% vs Cruz 21.4%)

Pre-debate polls show that Rubio is losing to Trump in his home state, Florida.

Am I the only one who started reading this with Trumps voice in their head?

Because there's a difference between marketing your label through a slogan, and resorting to a canned 30 second speech over and over while being called out on it. Rubio is an idiot to think it's the same thing.
 
It was Cruz and Rubio teaming up to take cheap shots at Trump all night. Some landed, others deftly rebutted. All-in-all, it won't change anything.
I think the big turnaround was when Cruz criticized the politicians Trump supports, only for Trump to say he funded Cruz and get called a basketcase. There can't be any turnaround from that for Cruz, that's a KO.

The biggest moment of the debate, the one that will resonate the most and spike Trumps numbers even higher is when he said "bigger, stronger Republican Party", he knows whats up, he is stating that the support that he has been getting has been massive, his crowds are very impressive. He said he is appealing to "other people", aka working class people. Numbers back that up, and he quoted them.

The media obviously wont pick up on this, despite this being the biggest and most impressive news. They are completely disconnected and tone deaf, still stuck in 2012, still wanting Romney 2.0, the people obviously do not want another Romney. Media is still desperately trying to shove whoever in front of him, was Jeb before, then Ted and now Rubio. Its the 11th hour and this is it for the media.

They likely wrote the "Rubio/Cruz wins, beats Trump, wow!" piece before it even started. Yet:


But ofc "online polls dont matter, pls follow the narrative, pls!"

They had a piece after the debate how great of presidents Cruz and Rubio would be. It was so transparent and sad. The media has learned absolutely nothing.

Overall was very entertaining.
 
trump not getting booed again for basically saying PP does good was surprising. Glad to know not all republicans are gun ho on demoralizing PP
Why was Cruz trying to slam trump for saying he wouldn't allow sick people die on the streets? To me it seems like a basic human right to not allow people die on the streets

The GOP has no idea just how off putting its rhetoric really is. It's a good sign that Trump is destroying Rubio and Cruz who are two of the worst people I've ever seen.

Because the only way to stop that is to ensure they get free healthcare, which means some tiny modicum of socialized medicine, which means rabble rabble better dead than red.

When they were telling eachother they seem angry or whatever it reminded me instantly of a league of legends match.

"you mad?"

"you sound so mad"
