A group of “independents?” A blogger/writer, pundits, an historian, a pollster, and political consultants and what not? Give me a break Gizzi.

There’s nothing independent about any of that group. Who set it up? Were you paid? Do you get first rights to publication/dissemination?

This is pure tripe.

CNN boasting about its ratings? Was there ever any decision to donate part of the profits to veterans?

Right ... Didn’t think so. Trump should have brought this out.

“My group included pundits, an historian, a pollster, and political consultants.”

In other words, GOPe lackeys.

A group of neutral observers almost unanimously agreed Thursday night that Donald Trump fared poorly in the second Republican presidential debate.

Lie.

Polls and pundits everywhere are on board. Trump only did better. His ratings are up today.

This article is bull (Obama).

Because of the comment I was fixed on Carly’s face. Not one smile. She appears a very angry uptight woman If that was Trumps purpose : to make us aware of her face. He’s a geeeeenius

They must not understand the Time and Drudge polls. :-)

If you really believed those polls than you must still be in shock that Ron Paul isn't President.

Unscientific online polls are utterly worthless. Trumpkins are a lot like Paulbots in that they swarm online polls.

It will take some days/weeks for the debate to really affect scientific polls one way or the other.

I said before the first debate that if Carly got on the stage with Trump she would become a threat to Trump and the numbers from last night clearly show that I was right. It clearly shows as well that the average Freeper's opinion is worth about as much as Karl Rove's.

I am Still writing in Sarah even though where I live it matters not one whit whom I vote for. The election will be decided long before the first ballot is counted in my current state which will vote stone cold commie before it votes for a Republican or a Conservative.

I predict that Carly will gain even more as the herd thins.

I have to say when the pols launch into their resumes, “I saved 1.6 million, I created 650,000, I removed, I cut, I lowered...” during these debates it is simply gloss over time. No one listens or understands and my reaction is if you did all that and it’s so impressive, why is the country or your state still riddled with problems? Here is the crux of why Trump is far in the lead. We can see what he’s accomplished. Out of hundreds of successful deals, he had four big failures. For most entrepreneurs that’s a great percentage. He is a “doer” with true measurable results and I know he will get that wall built and Mexico will pay for it.

Pundits, historian, pollster... But no normal people.

This was the worst piece of garbage I ever saw. A roast of Trump and most of the so called candidates look like shi! They, except for Trump, reeked the normal political speech and was so fake I had to just sit there and feel so sad what this GOP has become. Trump is our only chance. Hope he wins and uses Cruz as VP.

“I would like to see two questions to women regarding Fiorina.

1. Would you vote for her for President?

2. Would you want her as your boss? “

1. Absolutely not. She’s a *itch.
2. If she were my boss I’d be looking for another job.

No kidding. 3 hours of smug, stink eye from Fiorina.

“Beck’s hit against Sarah Palin and calling the Tea Party racists....represents his complete descent from relevancy.”

I wonder if Beck is overextended financially. If so, perhaps he is keeping his fledgling media empire afloat by doing the bidding of the moneychangers.

True Dat !
I think it marks another Beck decline to seeking notariety for himself.

The only viable candidates at this point are, in no particular order, Fiorina, Trump, Carson, Cruz and perhaps Rubio. The rest have no chance and should withdraw. Maybe then we could see a decent debate.

The problem with Trump is that he isn’t sharpening his skills in these debates. He comes across as someone who has a general grasp of the issues but lacks the details to articulate well. His squinting grimaces and scowls as well as his lack of an upright posture on the podium is non-presidential and somewhat off-putting. Don’t get me wrong, I like his non PC approach, but try to imagine this same presentation in a debate with Hillary.

Not sure why anybody would see Trump as some big winner last night...his performance last night was anemic at best. He just wasn't very impressive. He got blown off the stage by pretty much everybody except Huckabee.

When your debate performance is so flaccid that you manage to make Jeb Bush look animated and interesting, you probably should re-think your approach.

On second thought...maybe these internet polls are merely popularity contests that serve mostly to reflect an existing bias in favor of one candidate or another, on the part of those who choose to participate in and/or game them. ;-)

Several weeks ago Fox News thought they got Trump when they had Megyn McCain sitting in the studio and had Trump on the phone. “She was hurt by your comment about her father. What do you have to say to her?” He said “Your father is a great guy.” The following week he tweeted out how obnoxious she was on the show “The Five” when she said the Trump voters don’t care that Trump insulted her father. Beck is making a big deal about Carly being able to deliver the knock out blow. Megyn Kelly said Carly got him to back down like it was a big deal. lol!

Dad, why are they ganging up on Trump?

Instead of debating the issues, Tapper played "Let's you and him fight" all evening. Over and over it was "He said this. How do you feel about it?" Chasing that YouTube moment.

The way he mugged for the camera I thought he was channeling Joe Biden.
