Time? Time is a reliable source?? No way. They couldn’t report the time of day without lying about it.

Good practice for the next Debate The Moderators.

It's not a poll but the actual number of people who have subscribed to a candidate's Twitter feed. It is directly related to the enthusiasm behind a certain candidacy, especially when you look at the recent group in subscribers.

Trump has picked up over 200,000 new followers in the past 9 days alone. Also, you see Carly Fiorina and Ben Carson with large gains, which is likely attributable to their good debate performances on Thursday.

You and I have different expectations of a debate.

Fox journalists were argumentative with the candidates. This might as well have been 10 one-on-one debates between the moderators and each candidate.

My point is that it is the candidates who are putting their reputations and careers on the line to run for president, not the moderators. It's easy for a moderator to snipe from behind the safety of the moderator's desk, but not so easy to put their careers on hold to run for President. If they want the right to challenge Governors, Senators, and leaders of industry on their vision for the future direction of the country, then declare and get on the stage with them. If they are not willing to go all in, then just pose questions and report answers.

Nice work! That’s amazing, and I think as telling as any poll.

Why do you jump to the conclusion that Trump supporters are/will be Trump voters? Have you EVER heard of ANYONE donating money to Trump for his campaign?

Your suppositions are WACKED OUT.

We are supporters of all the good Trump offers. He’s teaching the rest how you win a street fight.

Cruz supports Trump. What’s it like being a rabid Bush/Christie fan from your vantage point?

Are you the kind of person who looks the other way while a bully beats up on someone?

Also, I'm equally surprised that MSM has not released any post-debate polls. I strongly suspect that if Trump did take a nosedive, they would be plastered everywhere by now.

Funny you should mention that. I was just doing a search for post-debate polls, assuming that the MSM badly wanted them in time for the Sunday morning shows just to taunt Trump...I found crickets.

...and in a related story, if Megyn Kelly was being applauded by anyone except her mother we’d be seeing that too. Instead they are hiding HER nosedive.

Oh shut up.

Look at the numbers. Trump went down about 7 points and Cruz gained 8.

If I’m called in a poll on whom I’m going to vote for, I’m telling them Ted Cruz.

Cruz doesn’t need to be taught how to win a street fight because he already knows how to deal with the media.

Trump is irrlevant. If he weren’t in this race, Cruz would have over 30% right now.

Trump got in their faces. Cruz didn’t.

Trump is the trailblazer. Cruz supports Trump, unlike all the others. You don’t support Trump, yet you say you like Cruz.

You don’t appear to respect Cruz enough to share his support for Trump.

I suppose you don’t like a lot of other things Cruz stand for, because I believe you are consistent.

I do not get the attack on Trump. The media and the GOP are stupid and do not learn from history.

Perot had the same type great quick responses and refused to apologize for anything and attacking him just got him more of a following because people were sick to death of the establishment and media. Then he got pissed at the GOP and media bought his own airtime and got Clinton elected by going 3rd party....as planned.

Stupid party being stupid....who would have thought.

Good post with the twitter stats. I also think the polling numbers would be out there if Trump was sinking.

The great irony is that it was Fox News and Megyn Kelly that took a HUGH and SERIES hit.

“Oh shut up.”

I love how deep your debate skills go, when your first comment out is the above.

Do you “hissy-fit,” much? I bet your friends and family can really count on you to be the man.

Fox must have done something right because we’re still talking about it.

Temporary maybe, long term I don’t think so.

I already find myself channel surfing again after years of Fox only viewing. I’m disappointed as it was so obvious moderators didn’t moderate but went the gotcha route at the pleasure of establishment types. And then to hear the Megyn was invited in place of trump the proof hit home. Brett and Megyn both should be ashamed of themselves.

“If you want to waste your vote on a pathetic loser instead of voting for a solid conservative, then go right ahead.”

LOL, that’s really funny. Trump is number 1 in all the major polls, and in all of the early primary state polls. Now there’s a really pathetic loser for you. Obviously being politically astute isn’t your strong suit.
