Paul got the loudest applause at the intro.


That's because we're naturally louder than normal voters.

Nice. Cruz bragging 'bout following the 11th Commandment, although I'm unsure if it's true.

Carson is probably so sleepy because of all those 2 am phone calls.

"It's 3:00 A.M... Who do you want answering the phone: a proven leader? Or someone that will be physically unable to wake up?"

Rubio's hair was a lot better in 2009. I bet Angel Barrios loved it.

Don't forget the unnamed third man! He probably liked it very much as well.

I wonder what Trump video they would have shown if he had showed up.

Trump skipping was probably a good move.

With every passing second it looks like a master stroke.

Agreed. I would not be surprised one bit if he got a big bump out of this.

So anytime someone mentions the polls a candidate can just say 'oh I've seen other polls that show the opposite'.

Yes. And you can thank Donald for it.

No matter how HIGH ENERGY Trump, I will always hate that he started that trend!

That's right. It's like
Interviewer: Mr. Trump, polls fairly consistently show you trailing Hillary Clinton in a general election matchup. Are you electable.
Trump: Well, I've seen polls showing I'm leading by a lot, and if there's one person Hillary doesn't want to face, it's Trump. Next Question?
Trump Supporters: OMG SO ELECTABLE

Just ventured to the comments there. Some highlights:

"If you have to add a prefix to 'American', you aren't one."
"If I ever see this women on the street I'll give her some KORAN justice."
"FAUX I guess feels no need to pretend now
They are just RAT operatives with bylines"
"That pic of that march with the green arrow saying it is her?? I enlarged it , click on it an then enlarge it it is nor Sanders nor her! it's not her

it 's a guy! No wonder, she is a pathological liar!"
"Former NRA president Charlton Heston also marched with MLK. But that would make this walking lard explode. The only burn this Islamist feels is when she reaches for the slab of bacon."
"Wow Ttump dragged that old Austrailian devil out of his hell hole and into the light. FOX is a total Antiamerican Scam!!!

Trump 2016!!!"

Hey, that's my gimmick Angry

Seriously, though. There should be a megathread for those, "Breitbart Speaks" or something.

I'm watching ABC and a commercial just contained the line "Will Ben ever wake up?" It reminded me of the debate.
