Perhaps because pundits don't like George W. Bush.

That George W. Bush comment will NOT go down well in South Carolina.

It's time for Carson to drop out.

SC can't handle the truth?

I think Rubio had the best night.

I am going third party and have no horse in this race.

I do like Ben Carson, but I agree.

Losers, in order:

1. Trump (the "Bush did 9/11" thing WON'T play well in SC)

2. Jeb Bush

3. Ted Cruz

I disagree with Rubio. I would have placed him third. I actually think Jeb Bush had the best night. Trump gave it to him by giving him the time of day which I thought was weird. So Jeb was able to play to the crowd which was obviously very social conservative, very pro-G Dubya Bush. Trump could and should have focused on Cruz, though Cruz had some tough moments as well. Carson was fine but forgettable. Kasich I would agree had a good night but I think he came across as too moderate for SC Republicans, which is fine, he just needs to skate through SC. I would say:

1. Bush
2. Kasich
3. Rubio
4. Carson
5. Trump
6. Cruz

But I don't think it will affect Trump at all in the long run. Bush needs to do well in this state to survive. Trump doesn't need SC but may win it anyway. I think Cruz really flailed here because this is the state he should win as the biggest social conservative and his performance was not great.

I am Canadian and US politics is not my thing but there was nothing on tonight so what the heck I watched that debate.

I must say that Trump fellow is a bulldog, he would definitely shake things up in Washington....for better or for worse

Bush's comment that illegals that are poor come here for a better life.

Yes,the illegals are having a better life than many Americans because they are getting free housing,free food medical etc. Because of having anchor babies. Bush cares more for illegals than Americans.
