FOX News Republican Presidential Primary Debate - Main Event [LIVE THREAD 5:50pm ET]

I was agreeing with you.
His focus groups remind me of the old Phil Donahue shows - bunch of silly group think.
TRUMP 52.95% (6,509 votes)
Wow. Trump held his own tonight, but I seriously wasn't expecting him to rate that high in the after-debate polling.
The next nearest vote getter was Cruz, with 11.54%. Everyone else is in single digits.
Wow! Go Trump/Cruz 2016!!
I will take Cruz . Very statesman like.
The man is paralyzed from diving in a pool and hitting his head when he was in college. Yet, he continued his studies while still hospitalized. His books were placed overhead in his bed so he could continue his school work.
Lighten up some, I don’t agree with all of his assessments tonight but it’s sort of easy to tell the man is paralyzed.
I'm not sure but if you print out Dr. Ben Carson's words from tonight ... there's either a book or a song in there.
Trump never had my loyalty and never will.
Vote for the Constitutional conservative, Ted Cruz.
And Trump won’t be the only person abandoning the GOP. Hell, the GOP has abandoned its base for years now.
From a very establishment reporter:
“Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Do I have to get a Tetanus shot if I agree with Trump that Fox, from the opening bell, was out to destroy him? “
It was THAT blatant.
Do you believe Dorothy ended up in Kansas.

Bush: C
Rubio: B
Walker: C
Cruz: A
Huckabee: C
Carson: B
Christie: D
Paul: D
Kasich: A
I don't recall Krauthammer or anyone on FNC pronouncing the end of Lisa Murkowski or Thad Cochran when they refused to support the GOP nominee and went third party.
[He needs to gain momentum and thus far he is stagnant with polling in the 5-6% range.]
TED CRUZ is in 2nd place on the DRUDGE REPORT poll.
Well if he does the gop deserves it. The things Trump talks about the elected gop are cowards to act on.
It’s been done. Cruz had the 4th most time of the 10.
I think Cruz did well but they avoided him for most of the night. Trump survived and like usual, I think he will be made stronger from the attacks. Check out Megan kelly’s facebook [age. She is getting taken to task.
Yes, the freeze out of Cruz was obvious, but he still prevailed. My husband who is a big Trump supporter, said Cruz was the most Presidential of all of them. I agree.
I think you'll be right. Cruz and Carson might gain enough to hold Trump at about the same level, but Trump will hold his leads in most polls. Or Trump might gain support.
Too bad Fox was too busy asking things like "Does God talk to you?" or "What will you say when your gay kid comes out and asks you about your opposition to gay marriage?" to ask a substantial question like that.
Presumably, considering Trump's verbiage so far, someone committing ID theft or other bad stuff isn't going to make the cut, only those who we want and are needed.
I’d like to see Cruz, Carson and Fiorina debate.
Fox has drifted leftward over the years.
