Trump took a few hits...but so did Fiorina. In fact, most of them took some hits...but also had some good points.
I felt Cruz was the most Presidential of the group...but he just did not get much time...and he was not involved in the slug fests either.
The Drudge poll had over 672,000 people participate. It had Trump winning going away. sure, if you go into some kind of "debate rules," and try and look at it clinically, you may say different...but people do not vote that way.
Here's the full results of the Drudge poll:
Name-----Votes---Percent
Trump---342,261--50.93%
Fiorina-152,087--22.63%
Rubio----43,915--6.53%
Cruz-----40,687--6.05%
Paul-----29,333--4.36%
Carson---28,171--4.19%
Christie--9,264--1.38%
Kasich----8,577--1.28%
Bush------8,363--1.24%
Walker----5,225--0.78%
Huckabee--4,128--0.61%
Total---672,011
I simply did not see it...Fiorina tying Trump or catching up to him. Sure she gained...but I think it will be fleeting, and not even close to catching Trump.
I want Cruz hands down...but Cruz is also playing the entire Trump phenomena wisely. He has not attacked Trump at all...in fact he has done events together with Trump.
If Trump implodes (which looks less and less likely IMHO) his supporters are going to need somewhere to go. Right now that looks to me like Cruz.
If Trump gets the nomination, he is going to be looking for a VP...and right now, Cruz is positioned for that.
Could you imagine 8 years of Trump followed by eight years of Cruz?
“Could you imagine 8 years of Trump followed by eight years of Cruz?”
I can.
We’ll desperately need eight years of Cruz to undo the damage that pretender will do in his term.
My mother was a Democrat all her life and is a new Republican now that she’s retired.
She loves Marco Rubio.
I’m trying to explain Rubio to her and it’s like talking to a wall.
“Could you imagine 8 years of Trump followed by eight years of Cruz?”
A Trump Cruise - The “Love Boat” gets resurrected ... but who will play the part of Gofer? Oh, I know! Give that part to Carly - that would be sweet poetic justice ... “Hey, Fiorina - I need a bucket of prop wash, and 20 yards of flight line! Make it snappy!”
Polls don’t mean much now (Sept.) Online Polls mean even less. Anyone who takes an online poll seriously is...well An Idiot.
