Fill in the blank:

This will be the final presidential primary debate for the following candidates: Trump


At least, I wish this would happen. It's more likely what the above poster said.

That was the best debate moment so far.

If the entire debate is like that, there will be more

They spelled temperament "temperment" in the little blurb on the lower end of the screen

This debate is amazing so far

Tapping repeatedly on your podium does not make you any more persuasive.

Very good Carson answer. Let's see if he can be awake for any other answers tonight.

Not a chance. After that? He's spent.

I'm beginning to realize that they may have just handed Trump a landslide in New Hampshire on a silver platter.

Rubio is just like Hillary

Cant go a single second without bagging on the other party. Literally no substance, just a rehashing of the talking points and making vague statements about how bad the other side is.
Hillary still does it better. She will cream Rubio at the debates this fall.

assuming he can even make it out of the primary with this lack of skill

Yeah it'd have been nice to have another pov on the stage other than, "rebuild the military" and "Obama/Clinton bad".

The Rubio fire squad directly benefits Trump.


Yeah. If Rubio ends up getting destroyed, Trump could win by a margin even Lief couldn't have dreamed up.

Trump leading the polls by 15 and is taking no fire...the guy is unreal!!!!

They're fighting for second, but consequently demolishing the only guy who had a chance of coming first.

"We are going to repeal Obamacare, and replace it with something so much better…"

Doesn't specify what it would be...

Just know it will be really...really...really great. Just really great.

Everything TRUMP will be great. Economy. Foreign relations. Food. Women. And especially healthcare.

Now I can't see Rubio without thinking that every word out of his mouth was rehearsed like 100,000 times

Literally the Hillary Clinton of the center/right.

Every question is shrugged off and redirected to a talking point about Obama.

And people will notice now that Christie pointed it out. It may have been the single most attack of the debates so far.

Trust me... Trump can do both. Not sure how it's physically possible, but he'll manage one way or another.

Trump insulted the audience and got booed 5 times in under 2 minutes, Jeb beat Trump down on eminent domain, Rubio got UTTERLY DESTROYED by Christie and Kasich is happy drunk

I missed the Rubio-Christie exchange. What was the topic?
Christie called out Rubio for being able to do nothing other than reciting his stump speech.  Rubio responded by reciting a stump speech.  Rubio got booed a lot.

He recited his stump speech three times. It was not a good moment for Rubio.

Also, it's now impossible to watch Rubio talk without realizing it's a canned stump speech.

at least the third time tonight Rubio's talked about "rebuilding the military".

He studied that page of the Neocon handbook

I imagine that that's where he gets his memorized speeches.

Q: Senator Rubio, who is going to win the Super Bowl:

Rubio: Barack Obama knows EXACTLY what he's doing with respect to the Super Bowl...


Christie: There's one thing I can tell you -- either of them would be better than Hillary Clinton!
