Cruz isn’t being given any questions or airtime.

[CCGuy]

Rubio is a Amnesty bill writing useless POS.

He has five opinions on everything and switches between them so frequently he should be embarrassed.

It is so pathetic that even as the last GOPe schill being propped up by the establishment he still can’t string three coherent thoughts together in a row.

[Mr Apple]

TRUMP JUST SMOKED RUBIO AND CRUZ !

[MotorCityBuck]

Don't worry Georgia.
Trump is winning. He always does, and he is increasing his lead/percentages. Rubio is a swarmy little man. Wow. He just sank himself. His downfall is being juvenile. He cant shut up. People see this.
Kinda like WWF. Occasionally it looks like the Good guy is being pinned. Then he throw the knockout punch!
Not only is Trump in a cage match. Him v Cruz & Rubio. He also has for fight the crowd & moderators. He is just fine. :)
Go Trump

[Theophilus]

He’s dancing on Trump’s Toupee

[j.argese]

Rubio is a short-busser. Trump is attempting to explain the real world to him.

[Lagmeister]

Trump never defended abortions at Planned Parenthood.

[usconservative]

Kasich is right about hospital bills. I'm still trying to de-code my last one and trying to figure out what I have to pay for vs. what my insurance covers.

The bill is 8 pages long, littered with medical procedure and test codes and NO DESCRIPTIONS of what anything is for.

It's un-freaking-believable. And for this I'm paying thousands of dollars in premiums and deductibles?

That's outrageous.

I take my car into my mechanic, he tells me what he fixed and what I owe. Why can't Doctors and Hospitals do the same?

[TigerClaws]

Our candidates get tough questions and kill each other on stage.

Democrats get softballs and kiss each other’s asses.

[altura]

Odd that you should say that.

Cruz polls better against Hillary than Trump.

[Theo]

“Trump has wrapped up the nomination”

I pray that’s not the case. He’s a horrible candidate. Muddled RINO, offensive, unelectable.

[Shortstop7]

I think he sounds like a yapping brat. And Cruz is being totally ignored now. This won’t help Cruz at all.

[E20erer]

Trump once again stomped on motor mouth

Rubio is desperate and sweating

[b4me]

exactly

Rubio talks like he as Pres will make the plans - which would be same in principle as Obamam care - govt involved in healthcare system.

Let the industry compete to make good plans - or at least thats the way I understand it.

[taildragger]

"These debates have been a farce from the start."

No one is mentioning...

* To go across state line you have to get rid of the Anti-Trust Exemption.
* No mention of combining Direct Primary Care Services that need tax exemption and combined with HSA's is the answer
* No mention of the destruction of High Risk Pools vs "Pre-Existing Conditions"....

[Democrat_media]

you ignorant little pretend tattle tale here is a clue for you Cubans are a culture not a race and Muslims are a religion not a race you ignorant free speech PC police communist wannabe rat

cubans are a race it says LOL LOL LOL

[Charles Henrickson]

And Trump, as usual, ducks and weaves and never answers the question.

I think Trump is incapable of answering questions with any depth. There's nothing there beneath the surface red-meat one-liners.

[for-q-clinton]

He should have but didn’t. I think he’s got early Alzheimer. I’m not joking either.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

-— Because Trump is worthy of being attacked. Trump’s idiocy invites attacks. -—

It’s loooooooong overdue.

Rubot’s not moving needle. Not sure where the cheerFReepers for the Bot came from tonight, but good luck there.
