Trump is gradually falling back to his "natural" level of about 25% of Republicans - the uneducated, dis/malcontents, bigots, Obama-haters, and crazies among others. He is not going to win with that level of support, but it will stay with him to the convention if he chooses to go that long and he will force the Republicans into fighting among themselves to decide a nominee.

I'm getting that impression as well. But then again I've had doubts from day one about whether he seriously wanted to become POTUS.

Torture?
Make them watch episodes of SpongeBob while they are water boarding them.

Trump got booed by the Bush's donors......you can tell that anything Jeb said he got big applause for 1 side of the room and they were loud. Its a tactic of the Bush camp to turn his campaign around and create this fake "surge" for Jeb.
RNC says different - 75 donors. 20 tickets for each candidate. St. Anselm, which is the hosting college, got a lot of tickets. Maybe all the college kids were pretty disgusted by trump?

But, according to you and trump, Bush's 20 tickets all got together and made noise, 'on one side', although the noise was clearly all over the event hall, eh? NO, trump was booed by ordinary people who were offended by him. bummer. As he kept talking, he was booed and booed and booed. It only stopped when he finally shut up. bummer.

Trump was repeatedly in and out of both venues. He's made choices, just as every other candidate has. If that's not good enough, or offends the sensitivities and sensibilities of the locals to the point that they change their support....they deserve what they get.

all the polls including GLENN BECK's the Blaze website who is gun ho for Cruz and very anti-Trump had Trump winning the debate in his poll.
Oh wait... here's a poll that lists Christie first, then Kasich, then Bush
GOP debate winners and losers | TheHill

You wanted 1: I got 1 - what do I win? So NOT ALL THE POLLS had trump winning the debate.

Oh, here is another:
Who won the Republican debate? Pros rate Christie, 2016 field | NJ.com
Since they asked several talking head types, the answers are all over the place, but at least one says Christie, and another says the three governors.

darnit, the GOP website makes you sign in , so I didn't bother going there... but did notice that they had the candidates in alphabetical order, with bush first and trump last. just a funny observation!

Our citizenship here is already cheapened this past decade or two by both parties. The rich will run us into the ground and into a third world country and also into a one world government. It will be hell for the next generations to come. We are at the crossroads for this country to build it up , or destroy its people.
I agree too. I'm a big Sanders supporter (but I can't vote for him since I'm independent), but I think Hillary is going to be elected. On the GOP side, it's Rubio first, Bush as backup. There is usually a backup in place in case the preferred one tanks.

Trump is looking very Presidential these days.

look I know your a Trump fan but he did not look presidential at all. Maybe go back and watch how he treated Jeb Bush. Can you honestly say that is presidential material?
