"What he said wasn’t an insult.

I'm not sure Rosie O'Donnell would agree with you.

I'm not sure Rosie O'Donnell would agree with you. I'm also not sure that insulting Hillary would be a very effective way of convincing voters to vote for Trump instead of Hillary

If nobody knows how Trump or Cruz or the rest of the candidates stand on the issues, they never will. Debates are a waste of time, you can garner all you need to know about them from their media covered town halls or rallies......

The only ones who benefit are the networks that host the debates.

Here's a thought, how about "paid to attend" debates? That would change the whole debate scenario........

You’re spot on! Trump can articulate his entire foreign and domestic policy in 140 characters. (I guess the size is appropriate to his voters attention spans.)

He did it several times and got tired of it?

Honestly there have been too many debates already. There should be no more then six at most.

Perhaps Trump’s handlers don’t want any more incomprehensible steaming piles of random gibberish like this to spill out of Mr. Trump’s mouth: (cringe warning)

HEWITT: Mr. Trump... Dr. Carson just referenced the single most important job of the president, the command, the control and the care of our nuclear forces. And he mentioned the triad. The B-52s are older than I am. The missiles are old. The submarines are aging out. It’s an executive order. It’s a commander-in-chief decision.

What’s your priority among our nuclear triad?

TRUMP: Well, first of all, I think we need somebody absolutely that we can trust, who is totally responsible; who really knows what he or she is doing. That is so powerful and so important. And one of the things that I’m frankly most proud of is that in 2003, 2004, I was totally against going into Iraq because you’re going to destabilize the Middle East. I called it. I called it very strongly. And it was very important.

But we have to be extremely vigilant and extremely careful when it comes to nuclear. Nuclear changes the whole ball game. Frankly, I would have said get out of Syria; get out – if we didn’t have the power of weaponry today. The power is so massive that we can’t just leave areas that 50 years ago or 75 years ago we wouldn’t care. It was hand-to-hand combat.

The biggest problem this world has today is not President Obama with global warming, which is inconceivable, this is what he’s saying. The biggest problem we have is nuclear – nuclear proliferation and having some maniac, having some madman go out and get a nuclear weapon. That’s in my opinion, that is the single biggest problem that our country faces right now.

(From Trump’s response, it’s clear that he either has no idea what the nuclear triad is, or that he had no idea what the question was and just decided to go with some sort of free-form jazz riff on the topic of “anything nuclear.” But even after Hewitt threw Trump another clue, he replied with total gibberish.)

HEWITT: Of the three legs of the triad, though, do you have a priority? I want to go to Senator Rubio after that and ask him.

TRUMP: I think – I think, for me, nuclear is just the power, the devastation is very important to me.

The 12 debates were run like a side show, most of them had no substance! Have a real debate on issues instead of about personal non-political crap!

LOL. I hope Trump doesn't debate Cruz. Let him cry all he wants. The voters are tired of the debates. Trump was strong and endured the World Wrestling Federation styled, double tag team, dirty brawl from Cruz and Rubio the last couple of debates. On top of that he overcame the attack from vindictive Megyn Kelly.

Cruz had his shot. Let him pound sand. It was so funny watching Cruz getting so frustrated because Trump would not take his nasty bait. Trump won that debate like the others. He's leading in the polls. He doesn't need to debate lyin' Ted. I hope he doesn't. Trump takes his campaign directly to the people.
