His squinting grimaces and scowls . . .

. . . reminded me of Biden.

So funny you’re saying this! She reminds me of every bad, overbearing, cruel female boss I’ve ever worked for.

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

And when they do Trump will still be on top. You have not yet realized that Trump is a movement. Trump is a statement by the Republican voting base rejecting politicians.

His squinting grimaces and scowls as well as his lack of an upright posture on the podium is non-presidential and somewhat off-putting.

Watching Trump debate I was reminded of Biden in his debate with Paul Ryan. He wasn't grinning as much but the body language was there.

To my mind, Carly is there , raised and promoted by GOPe and CNN , to deliver a 'knock-out' blow to Trump .
It didn't work .
Also , there are pending investigations about Carly as CEO and the timelyness of bribery payments to Russia , Mexico , and other countries.

"She reminds me of every bad, overbearing, cruel female boss I’ve ever worked for."

I kind of suspected that most women would dread having her for a boss. They could probably make a movie about her. Fiorina wears Prada.

I only watched about 2/3rds of the debate and quit but what was glaring to me was how obvious it was that Trump is a businessman whose success is based in part on his ability to get along with people when necessary and the ability to read people and events.

It was also very obvious that everyone else with the exception of Carly and Carson are politicians, practiced at saying what I want to hear and doing what they want.

Carly is awful, her “persona” is that of a horrid person.

Carson is clueless, why is he there?

Fox News just had Jeb Bush on and asked him how he felt when Trump would not apologize to his wife. They are working overtime. Had the predictable Luntz group on last night who said they were Trump voters (lol!!!) (They did this with Gingrich in 2012) but they sure like Carly Fiorina. LOLOLOL!!! I took lots of notes in 2012. I documented the liberal sources Fox used to bash Gingrich. I know the routine like you would not believe. Beck just said he thinks the GOPe darling Carly Fiorina and the amnesty loving Rubio would be a great ticket but the tea partiers need to wake up about Trump.

No, I understand just fine. Trump is a movement before he becomes just another failed presidential candidate. There have been lots of those before, just go ask Howard Dean and the gazillions of similar "We're mad and not going to take it anymore candidates".

I expect he will be able to yammer on about his poll numbers like a buffoon for a few more weeks/months, but in the end he is highly unlikely to be the nominee. Eventually the contest gets down to far fewer candidates and a whole lot of voting Republicans want nothing to do with a candidate, Trump, who is a populist protectionist and not a conservative.

Trump is a statement by the Republican voting base rejecting politicians.

No, Trump is a statement be SOME of the Republican voting base who are susceptible to falling for cult of personality types.

You seem to think your leader has already wrapped up the nomination. There is a long way to go and watching how defensive Trumpkins are tells me they know their guy probably can't go the distance.

There is a short sentence on the dry erase board in the “war room” in Trump’s campaign office...it simply says, “Let Trump be Trump”. He’s got to where he is by being himself. No need to change now. He is a big picture guy and knows how to get things done by putting the right people in the right positions. Why does a Presidential candidate need to have a 20 page plan on how to do “x”? Chances are, “x” won’t go the way they want it to go, they have to deal w/ Congress and sometimes s_it happens unpredictably that changes the landscape (remember 9/11, Katrina, the Arab spring, Benghazi, etc). What makes Trump rise in the polls is talking about the issues that affect the “real” people; illegal immigration/invasion, bad trade deals and nuclear deals, incompetence in our government including GOP, a poor economy and no jobs, PC is ruining us, and no one respects us internationally anymore. He wants to make America Great Again. He just needs to stick with that and let it all shake out. There will be plenty of time to solidify plans.

Neutral??? I are anyone to find a pollster, pundit or political consultant who is truly neutral. They're in those occupation because they're passionate about a cause.

And all those who participated in the Trump-bashing were made to look juvenile and petty.

I don’t think it hurt Trump at all.

But, I do wish they all would STOP with the name calling. Grow up .. and deal with the problems .. not your personal petty complaints about somebody else.
