The New Republic
is considered an authoritative source. The revolution continues.
The short-term goal of The Establishment has been for ANY Republican to take down Trump, even Cruz would be acceptable for that purpose. Needless to say, Carson and iCarla are fine also.
The next step, then, is to of course dump whoever took out Trump...and replace that person with ‘consensus pick’, which would be Jeb, Rubio, or Walker.
But from what I can tell, Carla did well in the debate tonight and Carson was a virtual no-show - so Carla gets a big piece of Carson’s support, and Trump support probably holds steady. If that’s the case, then Carla and Carson end up around 12% each, with Trump still at 30%, and Trump ends up with a bigger lead - simply because the people trying to take him out keep stepping on each other.
Says The Hard Left New Republic. Remind me again (and small words please) why I’m supposed to take what they say seriously?
Whether the GOP should even be considered a viable political party. It is absolutely a worthless party as now managed.
Out of more than 100,000 votes on Drudge when asked who won the debate 60% said Trump. Fiorina was 14% and the rest at or below 6%.
Actually, I misspoke. It was out of 225,000 who have currently voted on Drudge.
Full panic? I don’t think so. Full stupidity at New Republic. Now THAT I believe.
I suspect some of the Fiorina buzz is due to the fact that for her, this really was the “first” debate. Nobody watched the childrens debate last time...
I think she would be on Trump’s short list for VP. Pay no attention to that personal stuff, they’ve both come through the business world where you quickly learn to work for and do a good job for people you don’t like personally. Trump will want an active VP, and she’d be a good choice to head up the downsizing of the federal government. The key to this election is “outsider”, Trump would gain nothing by picking a politician.
If Trump puts Fiorino on the ticket, I won’t vote for him. I’m not listening to that hectoring hag for 4 years. No way.
No doubt. On the Drudge poll asking who won the debate Trump is now at 59%. Fiorina at 16% and Carson 6%. Add them all together and the outsiders tally 81%.
Hell Bush is at 1%.
Trump was good, Dr. Carson was ok, Ted Cruz was AWESOME, the others were terrible.
Just my opinion without taking time to think about it...
Carly did well, she had her moments. Rand, Huck, and Rubio also each had their moments in different ways for different reasons.
Walker did too, but even when he is doing well he fails to capture your attention.
They did what they could to freeze Cruz out, but when he got the chance to speak he did well. But they gave him as little time as possible. There were others who were given little time but seized it.
Carson is a nice guy but is a bit fumbly.
Kasich excites no interest. Nor does Bush.
Trump was the target for almost everyone and took a rather constant pounding. All he had to do was survive it, and I think he did. I don’t know that he had any “moments” but I don’t think he had to. Some of the others did, and they needed to just to stay in the game.
I’ll predict that the press will be pushing Rubio and Fiorina after tonight. Trump will continue to lead. Cruz will hang on because he believes.
I really like Ted Cruz, but I don’t see how anyone could say he, or anyone, was awesome. The whole debate was mediocre. Cruz’s opening was flat, and he was largely crowded out of the debate. When he had a chance, he was very good, as usual, but nothing memorable.
I was not a Cain supporter, but I firmly believe he was submarined by the GOPe Uniparty. Not sure exactly why.
The GOPe nominee is like the runner-up in the Miss America Pageant, only there in case the Rat nominee can’t fulfill their duties.
I believe they all are afraid of CRUZ including Fox. They avoid him all the time. Occasionally they throw him a bone, otherwise they act like he isn’t there.
I believe he knows what he is doing and is following a plan he has that will pay off in the future. He is building a grass roots following as he initiates his plan.
He definitely is my choice and if nominated I think he will go all the way.
Aside from Huck, very little support for Kim Davis or for traditional marriage on that stage.
Some seemed OK with the idea of a special dispensation for a clerk that doesn’t want to be associated with homosexual marriage but no one was prepared to speak out flatly against homosexual marriage. Its like they are fine with providing a bubble to protect Christians from getting their hands dirty but not much willingness to go after the actual issue of the debasement of marriage and the intrusion of the court.
Very little outrage against the butchers at Planned Parenthood except for Carly and Cruz.
