ABC Manchester, NH GOP debate @8pm ET **live commentary thread**

[ProudModerate2]

I cannot believe how much of an ASSH**E Trump is being.
He is attacking the people in the audience, which in essence is attacking the voters of N.H.
I would not doubt if he comes in 2nd or 3rd in Tuesday's primary.
Idiot.

[ProudModerate2]

Jeb! to surge to a surprise 2nd in NH now?
I honestly can't predict this any more.

I wouldn't say that Bush goes to 2nd in N.H., but Trump just dropped allowing Rubio and Cruz to possibly overtake him on Tuesday.

[ProudModerate2]

He also told Jeb to hush and the Moderators to hush as well, then insulted the audience.

If you don't think Trump won that exchange then you have no idea what you're talking about

If you think Trump won that exchange, then you have no idea what you're talking about.
Why be rude to the other candidates and tell them to shut-up when it is their turn to speak.
And then to tell the Moderators to hush as well.
That's bulls**t, and people all over the nation are watching Trump's un-presidential conduct.

lol @ atlas still thinking how much applause a candidate gets at a debate is representative of whether they actually won an exchange.

Wrong. My opinion has nothing to do with how much applause a candidate gets or how bright the moon is tonight.

I'm at Saint Anselm College, at a student-led debate watch party, and the people are loving Bush, Kasich, and Christie so far. Trump's support has gone down at the party by at least 25% just during the debate.

There you go Atlas members.
Here is an independent group outside Atlas, at a university in N.H.
They are reacting the same way most of us are (except for Trump Yes-Men).

"Bomb the oil, take the oil."
You cant take the oil. How stupid does Trump think we are ?
How do you take the oil, if you bomb it ?
And if you don't bomb it, how can you take it ? Does he mean to take and hold the oil wells and the oil facilities ? We cant do that ! That is silly. Impossible.

Did you see everyone grab for a bottle of water, as they were breaking during the commercial.
Well, Rubio grabbed for a 5-gallon size Sparklets bottle/jug.
