Trump didn't show up the way I had expected ... I know he's not a politician ... but he sure should have had some better answers ... however, it also looked as if FOX had it in for him.
I taped the debate because I wanted to watch the game last night.. I just finished watching the debate a few minutes ago.. It indeed looked like the Fox hosts had the people picked that they wanted to do well from the questions that were asked of them.. Trump came across about like I thought he would, but I have to agree Fox made it very difficult for him by the questions they asked .. I also watched the happy hour debate between the one's that didn't make the big show.. I liked the women, I can't think of her name right now, but she could make this R race a real horse race if she has another good debate ?? I'm sure if they do the same with only the top ten getting the big debate, she should be there.. Just my two cents, but I think Trump put a huge rock in his pocket last night ?? He's going to sink fast in the poll numbers and if he gets into another debate and acts the same way, he just as well go back to running his big corporations...
I think FOX did the job they wanted to do ... they hurt Trump ... and he didn't help himself either. Now with that being said, I don't see Donald Trump not running for President ... so I think in the end we are going to see him running as a third party candidate ... that will mean a Democrat in the White House for at least the next 4 years ... I'm just hoping that Democrat is not Hillary Clinton ... I'd much rather see Bernie Sanders as President ... and I think the debates for the Democrats, when they eventually start, will really hurt Clinton and help Sanders.
I actually think that's when Hillary will start to shine.. People will see what she knows and who ideas she has for the county.. I like Bernie, but there's no way we can pay for all he wants to do.. Just because some don't like Hillary personally doesn't mean she can't do a better job running this country than others.. I didn't like what her husband did in his private life, but he's been one of our best Pres. ever.. He turned this country around only to have Bush put it back in shambles... It goes the same way with Obama, I have no doubt, if Mr. Obama was white and had an R in front of his name the Republican party would be raving about what a great POTUS he is/was... If the people of this great country can't see all the good he has done, yes every POTUS does things that we don't like, but Obama's good by far outweighs the bad.. People have to have blinders on not to see the facts...

I think it was pretty obvious they went after Trump but he gave them the ammo. I think the hosts embarrassed themselves the way they handeled some questions and at the start of the debate. Not very professional IMO. It was not about them but they tried to make it that way.
I see Trump dropping because he has to much baggage but I wouldn't have thought he would top the polls going into last night. From what I heard Carley Fiorina did well early. Every time I hear her talk she impresses me. I thought Rubio, Huckabee and Kasich did pretty good. Bush and Walker did OK. Cruz can can handle himself. I think the losers were Trump, Paul and Christie. Carson's a smart nice guy but he comes off like he's a little in over his head.
It's one thing to be outspoken and speak your mind. It's another to just be out and out rude and ugly and that's what he is tonight. I couldn't vote for that
Trump made one mistake, he can't threaten the moderator that he'might not be nice to her. In his defense it was clear to me the Fox had it in for him right from the start. They knew the answer to the question about him leaving his options open as an independent. They made sure to ask the candidates that a the very beginning in order to get the crowd to turn against him. They also asked him a question about how he called others names when that question wasn't asked about how others on that stage speak about woman.
As for the rest there was few surprises. Rubio as always is an empty suit. Christie was being Christie, Paul was being Paul, Jeb was being Jeb. Carson talks but he takes too long to make his point, he was putting me to sleep. Cruz is creepier than I originally thought he was. Huckerbee is crazier and more out of touch than I thought he was. And Sleep Walker is far dumber than I thought he was.
Trump and Kasich were the only was to talk about the poor. Out of all the candidates Kasich seemed the most honest when he talked about helping the poor and middle class. He even took the time to go into detail. He's the more moderate Republican. He also has people around him who ran John Huntsman's campaign. That's a plus in my book. Maybe if he wins he will have Huntsman as a VP or a cabinet member. IMO, that's another plus in his favor.

Would you expect anything different out of FOX ??
These debates should be handled by impartial people, Fox is far from being impartial when it comes to the right wing policies..

Totally agree with everything you said ... even about who did well and who did not ... could have written your post myself ... LOL
Think Trump will wind up running third party ... going to hurt the Republicans.

Have issues with Hillary regarding the email scandal ... but I guess the Democrats will back a Democrat no matter what they have done ... same goes for Republicans ... I was the same way when I was a Republican ... they could do no wrong ... now I see things a little different as an Independent with strong views to the right ... still back a lot of Republican ideas ... but I can't back a Republican candidate no matter what they have done ... Trump is already turning me off ... and I had some hope for him ... but he's not showing anything of substance ... I will wait and see, but I think he will lose me and a lot of other people like me ... people that just hate the way Government is run ... and dislike these lifetime politicians ... but somewhere along the line will have to figure out who is the lesser of two evils. With that being said, I really do believe Trump will run third-party, and in the end he will hurt the Republicans, and a Democrat will be in the White Hosue for at least 4 more years ... will remain hopeful that it will be Bernie ... sure, we can't afford all his ideas ... but don't forget his ideas have to get through a Congress and Senate ... he won't get a tenth of what he is asking for.

I agree on Kasich. I was impressed by his answers.
I agree that Fox went after Trump but I also thought many of his comments and insults were gratuitis. He seemed to go in with the mind set that he was going to insult people and make his points with as much bluster as he could. I have been pretty impressed with Trump up to last night but I would not want a President that believes he can win his points by belittling folks in every conversation. As someone that has been facinated with Trump, I was pretty disgusted by him last night

I think Trump let a lot of people down last night ... then again FOX did the job it set out to do ... destroy Trump ... but I think he's resilient to a degree ... so I wouldn't be surprised if he rebounds from this and is quite good in the next debate ... will have to wait and see.
I watched the game and some Canadian football on ESPN. I may catch the highlight reel of this tomorrow but it's way too much and way too early for stuff. But be honest none of you are voting for these guys, Hilary has you in her pantsuit backpocket, why torture yourselves watching 10 or 20 GOPers give 10 second answers.
Hey Rockin! I wont speak for anyone else but that's not true for me. I voted once for RR, I voted for Bush II second term. Art used to pull that stuff all the time about who I would vote for and I have to admit it ****ed me off. I'll decide when the time comes who I will vote for. Fact is I have said a bunch of times, I am a fiscal conservative in that I believe we have to hosestly face up to the issues of entitlement programs and defense spending but I a social issue liberal. I don't need any party telling me how I should live my life and I have always resented the Republicans of not wanting big government regulations anywhere but in the bedroom. By the way I will seriously consider any alternative to Hillary

I hear you Mo and I honestly want him to do well because it might well be time for a non politicain to run things but man oh man to me he came off as such a blowhard last night,nothing Presidential with how he carried himself
