That was a mess. Almost no specific answers about policy. Just deflect, deflect, deflect.

It sounds like Marco realizes that this is more of a responsibility than he is really ready to take on just yet and is perhaps subconsciously self destructing in a sense to give himself a way out.

Marco Rubio appears to have the makings of a great president some day, but I am not so sure that time is now.

Not his finest moment, that's for sure. However, Chris Christie did himself no favors and Rubio can withstand the clink better, plus Rubio redeemed himself later in the debate while Christie was essentially ignored. I know this debate has taken Christie off my list of who I might vote for but doesn't impact my feelings about Rubio.

I, too, am a Rubio fan. I realize that he didn't have a great night, but I thought he redeemed himself at the end.

However, ABC noted that Trump dominated Google searches in all states but one; New Hampshire. In New Hampshire, it was Rubio. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but I find it odd. New Hampshire residents seem to respond better with a positive message, and I still think that will fall into Rubio's favor.

Iran deal....Curbed the growth of Iran's nuclear ambition. Major achievement.

just a few...
It's good times in America but why are so many feeling so well not good?

You remember the 5% unemployment in America during Bush?

Lol @ those ****ty part time job Bush miracle economic recovery.

Maybe that's why the bricklayers of America is not the same skin tone and why the African American population of America does not enjoy such a great unemployment rate.

A decade is a long time and while some celebrate the death of majority non white America they do not reconize who is replacing their economic foundation.

You know the slaves built America? Well blacks aren't building America anymore are they?

Is it funny? Really?

True. My field is stage production and management. The announcer called the participants out and the floor director behind the curtain had a headset on and cued the next entry. The audience was clapping so loud that the candidates couldn't hear their name called. So they had a logjam behind the curtain. you could see the floor director desperately trying to get the candidates to move out.
It was a failure of communication between the director, the stage director, and the noise. They'll come up with a new method next time. Count on that. visual cues instead of blind headsets.

I don't feel that Trump being booed by Jeb supporters will impact him much. The media is lying and exaggerating again. Trump was correct in calling out the audience. Good for him. I especially liked it when he told Jeb to be quiet.
I still like Trump the best out of all the people there because he's a disruptor and not a politician.

Jeb's audience did seem a bit loud...

However, it's hard to justify Trump's use of eminent domain. He didn't do it for the good of the public, but to grow his casinos.
