The indifferent screaming by audience members was one of the more obnoxious things I've heard.
Also what was up with Hugh Hewitt asking for rock-solid absolute policy pledges? The guy gives me the fucking creeps.

Not if you count Michigan, where Obama wasn't on the ballot officially.

Nope, Rubio would start ww3 and Ted Cruz is the type of person who would take A Modest Proposal seriously. Both would spend their presidency trying to repeal any and all government health care services and trying to repeal gay marriage in order to satisfy hardcore christians. Trump is boisterous and can be obnoxious but he's a moderate about almost everything. Best example from last night is the Israel/Palestine question where they were actually attacking Trump for saying he would be neutral in negotiations and not label all Palestinians as terrorists.

This doesn't sound that bad. Waste all their time on the impossible, especially in the latter case, and not do any real additional harm.
Its amazing how obvious the crowd was stacked suprised such loud jeering happened again. I wish Trump would talk about it again how the RNC or Lobbyists whomever is doing it. It really felt like watching a Comedy show with those forced laff scenes. Sounds so fake and so obvious.
At least they were't booing. Trump thought the same booing was gonna happen so he kept calling the audience out... but I don't think it was necessary.

Oh sad. I just found out that the selling watches in Manhattan line was planned for ahead of time and that Marco is trying to make money off of it on his website. Kind of sad.
I will say, however, that he came out prepared to throw punches. He is a fast study.

How did Hillary Clinton get 6% of the vote on CNN?
Not a Jellyfish
but I am a sheep
The problem I am seeing is that the base that Trump is pandering to takes his attacks and really overall unprofessional approach as him "sticking it" to the other candidates when in reality it is not at all how the POTUS or anyone in public office for that matter should act.
The general election is going to get really scary if he is the nominee.

I love when trump paused, let the audience applause die down, and says "Lobbyists".
Yeah that was good stuff. Smart too, keep reminding the viewers at home that the audience was a bunch of RNC cronies and lobbyists.
Yes, that his ace card that all these guys are bought and have to pander to them. I also liked what he said about health care companies make enough money.

Trump won IMHO simply by surviving the double team of Rubio and Cruz so well. Trump was already winning though so it won't really change much.
The person who gained the most from the debate though, I'd have to say that is Rubio. Both him and Cruz went after Trump hard but Cruz's attacks came off as fairly petty and childish, and a few of them backfired too, Trump was just able to knock Cruz down pretty much every time. Rubio however, this was probably his best debate performance to date. He went after Trump hard, and for the most part he held his own surprisingly. He did't manage to do much damage to Trump but he didn't hurt himself like Cruz did either, in fact Rubio handled himself better than I've ever seen him.
Carson slept again tonight and complained as usual, so he'll remain where he's at, the bottom.
Kasich, while not breaking out nor getting involved at all in the high school dramatics of the debate, well Kasich actually came off pretty well IMHO. Trump even had a few nice things to say about Kasich, which was different than usual. I don't think it will help Kasich's numbers much but I could honestly see him as a VP pick for Trump.
This debate though, Holy Shit, it was like a Jerry Springer episode. I don't think I've ever seen a Presidential debate like this, super entertaining but not very adult like, LOL.

One thing last night did show was that a better debater (Hillary) can actually weaken Trump's armor. Rubio got Trump flustered for a bit, and did land a blow, but then just died and lost all steam.
Like noticing Smaug is missing a scale.
If Hillary keeps on the offensive and constantly trips up Trump, she can debate him. There's topics like racism as well that Hillary can use that his GOP rivals cannot, so she has more ammo.

The big difference between Trump's repetition and Rubio's: Trump repeats statements as part of a targeted sales pitch. Rubio's repetition killed him because the line he was repeating had absolutely nothing to do with what anybody was saying to him. Last night Rubio got Trump to repeat himself by, essentially, asking him the same question again and again. Big whoop.

I kept waiting for someone to punch the other. Would have been gold.
Lol I'm not alone! I've had a few dreams where Trump was in them, mostly yelling at me for screwing something up.

Has anyone taken the scene from the Civil War trailer of Cap and Buck bodying Iron Man and put Cruz, Marco, and Trump's faces on? Because that's what I'd do if I knew how.

I'm sure it's been posted here, but only 25 tickets (at most, probably less) went to a raffle for students and faculty here. I haven't heard yet how the rest were passed out, I frankly forgot to ask a person in the know how that was apportioned, but regardless packed full of friendly faces, at least to certain parties.

Yea, that was a weird exchange.
He asked him the same question 4 or 5 times. He gave the same answer 4 or 5 times.
He only repeated himself because Rubio was repeating himself.
"What's your plan?"

"Yea, but what's your plan??"

"I don't understand, what's your plan?"

"STOP REPEATING YOURSELF, LOOK AT THIS IDIOT HARHAR"
I had a bizarre dream last night where it was several decades in the future. This was purgatory, or hell or somewhere. And it was a huge Republican debate, but between Trump and former Republican presidents. Bush Sr, Nixon, Reagan and then a bunch of just guys in suits my brain filled in.
Trump kept getting destroyed by Bush Sr for some reason. Trump also just walked away from the debate several times to use the bathroom, while Bush just kept talking.

Bingo. The beyond transparent planted cheering section sealed it for anybody watching without a vested interest. Reading places like NRO this morning is like waking up on another planet. "IS THIS THE MOMENT TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN IMPLODED?" "WE WILL LOOK BACK ON THIS EXCHANGE AS THE END OF TRUMP"
We've never had a president that dropped his pants and shit on the floor whenever and wherever the urge struck him, either.
Doesn't mean if a candidate shows up that does that, we should give 'em a try.
"I mean, the unfiltered boldness of someone laying genuine presidential turds upon their rugs would have to make other countries respect us more, if anything!"

Isn't his entire plan allowing insurers to sell across state lines which is not much of a plan? I mean all of the candidates agree with it, so how is that his entire plan. Isn't his plan essentially to make health care better and stronger (mechanics TBD).

As much as I can't stand him, Trump at least sounds like a human being while repeating himself.
Rubio sounds like a soul-less glassy eyed automaton who has accessed the wrong file.
That's the difference.

Except he doesn't keep it real; he does the exact opposite, in fact. When he's not being vague as hell as to what he plans on doing, he makes shit up and lies all the time. There's no part of him that keeps anything real.

But he's funny and talks shit about the establishment and the media so he's gotta be keeping it real
