And do wonder after Trump's raging series of out-of-control eruptions on prime-time television last night.

I was wondering if Trump knows what a moment of silence is for. OR, if he just didn't like Scalia.
Everyone else on the stage had their head bowed; eyes closed; and Trump was just looking around like . .
Anyway, it was totally awkward.

Combined with his outbursts (but come on he did get in a good zinger about how Barbara should be running). Other than that, well, this was his worst debate yet. I don't expect it to hurt him in the polls.

The silence is defening.

I didn't watch the debate. It's irrelevant. Not much else to say about it.

And BTW, I've said this about every debate on most sides. They are dog & pony shows. Well..... Except where Rubio was spanked by Christie.

The debate confirmed once again that Trump can only function when he's surrounded by fawning sycophants.

What's more alarming is that he did absolutely nothing to distinguish himself from his brother GW on foreign policy even when Trump gave him multiple opportunities to do so. He can scream about his family being attacked until he's blue in the face, doesn't change the fact that Dubya was WRONG to go into Iraq to begin with and created a huge mess that has only gotten bigger. Trump was right to call him out on that. Jeb pretty much assured everyone that his presidency will pretty much be a resurrection of the Dubya days.

I read this morning many of the first few pages of posts.

I just finished watching the debate.

Some of MY observations.

CBS did a TERRIBLE job. Probably the WORSE of all the repub debates.

Some have complained about a candidate interrupting another candidates.

OF COURSE THEY ARE. Their propose is to get air time and speak.

The ONLY reason it happened so much is the so-called moderators did NOT CONTROL THE CANDIDATES..

They should NOT have allowed all the "fans" yelling and screaming.

Again no control.

I could tell this was MSM debate based on some of the silly question that were asked..

Liberals on here do NOT like any of the candidates, SURPRISE, SURPRISE.

They trash talk them because they are liberals and all the candidates are repubs.

They don't use the same language when talking about their dem candidates. Hmm, I wonder why?

I don't even know why the watched. It certainly is NOT going to change who they are going to vote for.

Unless they like to act like little children, insulting and mocking people whom they disagree with.

Very Immature in my mind.

The polls I have seen shows Trump winning but, I will let each person make up their OWN mind.

The GOP is so fractured that they're handing the nomination to Trump whose going to hand the presidency to the democrats. They are playing into the media spectacle of debate after debate looking only for controversy and political entertainment. They have got to get their act together and offer solutions and not just another clown for the circus. The answer is right in front of them, all they have to do is ask what is it in Trump that is winning the hearts of their constituency.

busy with work so just watched the debate now...boy oh boy...if this is the best of the best in the GOP I'm really afraid for you guys.

The audience was the worst part of it all.

I also find it fascinating that Repubs now use the fact that they didn't want to invade Iraq at the time as a positive talking point for their campaign. Weren't all you GOPers arguing to the teeth that it was necessary just a year or so ago? You especially seemed to say it when defending Dubya.
