When shall we expect the first meltdown?

And who will it be.

Probably Trump first, while he squints and makes faces like hes having an aneurysm

Trump LoL we sholdnt be able to use it, but I use it im a businessman

If he stood by his principles he woudlnt use it ANYWAY. If he had any moral compass, it wouldnt matter whats LEGAL he wouldnt do it.

Hes such a liar

That Common Core nonsense is a myth.

It is not mandatory.

I like the folksie, slightly goofy, manner of Kasich. He's very likable.

Cruz is lying about Common Core.

Cruz is doing the best so far tonight.

Nice to see that my choice, Ben Carson, is looking to put his influence behind Trump...

If Trump is smart, Carson as a running mate could not only help him in November, it would also help to temper Trump in dealing with Congress to get things done...


I just hope that "IF" we elect an outsider to the Oval Office, be it Trump or Sanders... we (the voters) will also elect outsiders into the House & Senate...

The White House is not a be all end all solution....

YMMV

How does anyone get past Cruz's melodramatic acting?

Those two would be the ultimate outsider ticket.

He has the style of a slick preacher.

Thank his father for that.

Wow, it's a semi-civilized debate so far.

I'm *almost* impressed.

Given the last CNN debates, I honestly don't expect much.

The last few GOP debates have had some interesting moments. Lots of bickering and name-calling.

I would not be surprised to see the same tonight.

That's exactly why I don't expect much. The moderators have been more invested in getting them to attack each other over drawing out policy differences, so it has been a waste of time.

Frankly, I'm watching Project Runway. The men there are much better at being catty to one another. If interesting verbal takedowns are your cup of tea, I highly recommend it.

Yes he does... he reminds me of those high priced lawyers, who have a large Bible on their desk....

In their minds, they can sin all they want, as long as they ask for forgiveness everyday before they go home...

Lie all day, beg for forgiveness before they fire up the BMW and head home....

That's not how it works.... IMO...

Trying to get Rubio & Trump to mix it up.
Trump looks like he's not taking the bait...so far.

"Mr.Trump what are you going to do with social secrurity"

"Look ive been watching the democrats very carefully and they havent done a THING with Social Security"

"So heres what im going to do , blah blah blah "Im not going to do anything im going to leave it alone"

So basically youre going to do exactly what the democrats have done that you just tried to insult?

How do people not see through this bafoon

Applause-wise...Cruz is popular tonight.

Cruz just avoided a moderator taunt to attack Trump.

Cruz would have made millions in the snake oil era... just saying...

a reply to: JacKatMtn

He is the epitome of the ultra-far right's hypocrisy when claiming the moral platform.

He's the serpent speaking falsehoods, not a man walking a righteous path.

If Trump is self funding why are there 2 donate buttons on his web page and why has he taken millions


oh and PS what happen to all that money he "raised for the vets"

Where did THAT go?
