Same here.

I wait to vote until after the debate concludes and then I can’t get through.

[Williams]

Yep my vote for Trump just cycles endlessly.

[Southnsoul]

My vote finally went through and it says that my vote had already been counted.

[Williams]

I really felt that without the insults, the others end up echoing Trump’s positions.

I heard Cruz say he will build a wall, then after saying Trump’s tax on Chinese goods would hurt Americans, I heard Cruz say he would tax imports!

[goldstategop]

They all parroted Trump.

The GOP establishment’s worst nightmare has been fulfilled.

The GOP is now the Party Of Trump.

[cynwoody]

Drudge won't let me vote. Server must be overloaded or something.

There is another, identical poll here:

1. Trump 81.61% and 9649 votes
2. Rubio 8.41% and 994 votes
3. Cruz 5.47% and 647 votes
4. Kasich 4.51% and 533 votes

[Grampa Dave]

TRUMP 55.7% (77,910 votes)

CRUZ 36.79% (51,458 votes)

RUBIO 3.97% (5,559 votes)

KASICH 3.53% (4,942 votes)

Total Votes: 139,869

He talked about his steaks to rebuke Romney, who had said Trump’s bottled water, steaks, wine and magazine businesses were defunct — he wanted to show that they’re ongoing and yank Romney’s chain.

[Albion Wilde]

The debate felt like the last round of a prize fight where the champ had beat the living crap out of his opponent and in that final round just backed off a little, maybe even feeling bad about humiliating Cruz so badly.

Wait -- he will have some fun with them later this week.

Lookee here:

[Trumpnado2016]

Brace for more GOPe hysteria tomorrow. Trump did a great job overall. The last debate was a waste of time and frankly an embarrassment. Go Trump!

[Trumpnado2016]

The dirty little secret about the Drudge poll is that you can vote as many times as you want.

[cynwoody]

I heard Cruz say he would tax imports!

That's how Cruz's replacement for the corporate income tax works. For most sales, it is 16% of net business sales, defined as gross sales minus expenses and capital expenditures. The tax applies to imported goods as well as domestically produced goods. But export sales are exempt. So, I guess you can view it as a tariff, if you want.

https://www.tedcruz.org/tax_plan_summary/

The main criticism of his plan is, it amounts to a VAT, and we don't want to introduce those.

The Donald's business tax plan is 15% of income:

No business of any size, from a Fortune 500 to a mom and pop shop to a freelancer living job to job, will pay more than 15% of their business income in taxes. This lower rate makes corporate inversions unnecessary by making America’s tax rate one of the best in the world.

Ouch! Nice smack down.

[DoughtyOne]

Cruz was getting absolutely blistered at the internet sights I just voted on.

80% was the Trump average it seemed.

Cruz... didn’t even bother to look.

I saw one with Cruz at 3%. Sound like Yeb, poll like Yeb.

[Utmost Certainty]

Someone or something is spamming the Drudge post-debate poll for Cruz. He’s almost tied with Trump.

[DoughtyOne]

I think some hanky panky went on at Drudge.

Only one other had Trump at 57% or so, and it was the WSJ.

There Rubio beat out Cruz.

Yikes.

[BigEdLB]

Something is off with the drudge poll. All other polls sites are Trump 80+. Cruz will pass Trump on Drudge. One of the sites has 93-3-3-1.

This is futile and juvenile.
