quit being butthurt.....you knew it was going to happen....

No, I think they've actually gotten markedly WORSE, on an exponential scale, from their coverage from '08 to '12 to '16. This is truly disgraceful.

And I don't understand the motivation for MSNBC to be in on this artificial Fiorina push. MSNBC has on their homepage in huge font "A STAR IS BORN" next to Fiorina. WTF?

Megyn Kelly and Wasserman-Shultz having an "Everybody up there was racist/sexist" pow wow on Fox right now.

What planet are we on? Is this real life?

They won't be viewed by the middle as wolves in sheep's clothing.

That's because the vast majority of the middle are uninformed idiots.

Look at what you've done dawgitall. You've pushed an ACC fan and in ECU fan into total agreement.

The two things a Republican shouldn't be talking about if they want to win the general. Latinos and abortion and I Bet an hour of that debate was about those two things.

why do you think 'god' was mentioned too many times when not required as part of a logical response to a question?

the term is 'steering the herd'

but what would you know as a die-hard lib tard?

except.....yep, you guessed it, "steering the herd"

same shite, same story.......

Huckabee did alright also and Christie put the smack down on Rand Paul. Paul with his stupid comment about hugging Obama after Sandy

Cruz doesn't have chance either, I'm from Texas and I don't like him.

ya gotta embrace it....it's easier

I group them like this:

Bad Night - Christi, Trump, Paul
Rand had a good final zinger on Christi, but then walked into an overhead punch by Trump. Other than that, he never seemed positive or upbeat, more like a grumpy young/old man. Trump was Trump, except he took a few things too far. No polished at all. I'm not sure why anyone at Fox thinks Christi had a good night.


Ok, but nothing memorable group - Kasich, Walker
Kasich needs more material than "I was on the committee that balanced the budget". He also needs to be more interesting. The thing I remember about Walker was that he seemed to enthusiastically agree with Carson whenever Ben was speaking.


Group that did well - Bush, Rubio, Huckabee, Carson, Cruz
Carson seemed to have issues getting enough material out with his very slow and reserved cadence, but he seemed to do well enough. I thought Bush did well, considering the questions he got were ass reamers. He seemed a bit awkward at times. Cruz and Rubio did really well. Huckabee did extremely well, likely because of his extensive experience in doing these debates.


Loser of the night - Debbie Wasserman Shultz
It was painful listening to her trying to form a sentence. It was almost like she was on something.

To moderates Kasich came off great. Hisngay marriage answers is trending fantastically

Kasich is great.

I kind of agree with this, I don't get the comments saying that Rand won that, it was a no-score draw to me. The hug comment was dumb and the "I hugged the families of 9/11 victims" from Christie was dumber. It was a crappy back and forth with no substance but that, along with his comments to Trump, made Rand look childish.

I don't agree with Christie on the civil liberties issue, but he's right that you can't just have two categories, terrorists to spy on and everyone else to not spy on. Rand just saying "Fourth Amendment" over and over doesn't make a compelling argument. I agree with Rand Paul on this issue, I just don't think he argued it well, which is perhaps more a fault of the format than anything else. Complex issues need more than 60 seconds, especially when most of the candidates spent the first 30 seconds of each answer framing it in how their belief in God informs their opinion.

Enforcement of I-9 would do the trick. If they can't find work they won't come. Technology has replaced the need for fences, use drones to find illegals and armed drones to go after those who fire at border guards.

Screw that. To accomplish that, the first step is to eliminate cash and go full credit/debit cards. That's a bit too Orwellian for my tastes.

No, but I would NEVER attend their same sex wedding or allow their "partner" into my home.

No, approving of a lifestyle that's clearly a sin would make me a ****** father. My kid's would always be welcome in my home and I would love them. Their sins have to remain outside my home.

...and the world was once flat....

I like poos more than you can imagine (chucky sheen knows)......that's just beyond why this debate and the questions being asked are of equal tard.....

fk'n social issues???????? you gotta shittin' me....

paul and rubio are getting my vote....

the rest are unacceptable....

I want a negotiator with a plan......

Watch out. I learned by watching the republican forum on Monday night that Rubio wants access to all your data. He's a big proponent of warrentless wire taps and such.

Just got done reading about 25 pages of posts. Here is my take on the evening: Hillary wins in a landslide.

Trump going after Fox News on the Twitter is great

I agree with the abortion issue. It will not win you a single vote that you do not already have. They should however be pushing for immigration reform...starting with the "anchor baby" issue. That goes beyond Latinos and is at the heart of much illegal immigration problem. They should be focusing on the elimination of incentives that cause people to come here illegally. This type of stance plays well with independents. The GOP must come to grips with luring back the independent vote if it has a snowball chance in hell of winning in 16.
