You can look at the contenders and see which one has the look of the winner.

They know it, we know it, he/she knows it in the blood.

Its destiny...and for those who have that ability to see slightly beyond the present, it is visible.

This is Trump's time.

I agree that Trump is definitely getting better and more polished at his appearances. More presidential. It's actually quite astonishing how Trump has developed over the past six or seven months. When he first joined the race, even I thought it was a stunt and that by Labor Day, we'd be back to reality. After all, he had no political skills whatsoever and I thought for sure he'd blunder his way out of contention. But he not only stayed on message but he got better and better at handling the media barrage that came his way.

I was surprised with his very strong 2nd place showing in Iowa, which was probably the biggest hurdle he will face this primary season. If he wins NH and SC, I don't see how anybody stops him from the nomination.

“Can someone cite something substantive that he said?”

He is going to bring all manufacturing back to the US.

That is all you need to know! It doesn’t matter how. The one will make it happen.

I can’t wait to get my next iPhone. With the amount we have to pay people in the US to manufacture stuff, II think this will be an easy price of $12,352.00.

How about when he talked over everyone’s head including the snarky moderator and talked about starving ISIS, bomb & take the oil, and cripple their banking circuits.

Everyone looked like he was talking in code.

Even the carpet bombing Canadian?

On a substance scale of 0 to 100, Trump went from about a 5 to a 17. Momentum!

Ditto for us. We were all in for Newt. He would have been a good President.

Who does Karl Rove think won the debate? That should be very telling.

A whole lot of vote fraud in Iowa is coming to light.

What about will they get better at it ?

Bev Harris of BlackBoxVoting, who knows all about vote fraud, says SC is about gone, implying no overcoming the fraud.

She tells how the votes are processed. There is no stopping them - from computer to computer, to spain and soros, and anyone can fix anything they want. Is very depressing.

CoasttoCoastAM had her on for the 2nd 2 hours of show Saturday or Friday.

I thought Hannity was for Trump? I haven’t seen his show is a while as I don’t watch Fox anymore, but on Hannity’s radio show he seems supportive of Trump more than anyone else. Did Murdoch and Ailes get to Hannity to turn on Trump after he boycotted the Fox debate?

Look at SC and NH <-— less transparent than Iowa.

Date: Thursday - February 4, 2016 Host: George Noory
Guests: Bill Friedman, Bev Harris

In the latter half, founder of Black Box Voting, an investigative reporting and public education organization for elections, Bev Harris, talked about voting issues related to the presidential primaries, and past elections. At the 2016 Iowa caucus, the Democrats have been refusing requests for transparency, and the Des Moines Register called the Democratic caucus the “equivalent to a smoke-filled backroom,” she reported.

Looking toward the primary in New Hampshire, the state’s voting process is less transparent than Iowa, with final results tabulated by a single person onto an Excel spreadsheet that no one is allowed to watch, Harris revealed.

South Carolina, which uses a completely paperless touchscreen that sends results to a company in Tampa for counting, also has a troubled history when it comes to elections, she cited. The state “is so under the thumb of political party bosses in the most invisible way possible...What I expect to see in South Carolina is that the candidates who are not favored with their state political parties will be dropped down considerably,” she remarked.

Curiously, she noted that when Internet or smart phone voting has been tried out such as in Hawaii— rather than increasing the number of voters as would be expected, participation actually goes down. For more, check out a documentary on Harris’ work, called Hacking Democracy

Trump is 100% right on manufacturing and the desire to end the multilateral agreements, in favor of bi-lateral agreements.

The United States is the number one consumer market in the world. When the US enters into multilateral trade agreements, that has the unfortunate effect of taking our superior position as world market leader and we treat smaller market signatories as our equal.

We squander our market leadership position without getting more consideration from the weaker signatories.

Without the premier United States consumers, Apple would not have released the Iphone, it would not have made economic sense. Samsung would have killed Apple in the cell phone market.

They had the 8-11 slot but they used the last half hour for commentary and post debate stuff. To be honest I was having DSL router issues so debate was not a top priority. And yeah three hours is two long and they need to cut down from the seven to maybe five on the stage and keep the undercard gone. There was none this time and that is a good thing!

He’s going to do it by doing it, Silly. :)

For Newtie to say he had substance is absolutely mind boggling. I listened carefully for substance and it is not there as usualy.
