The fact that not one of the people on stage called out Trump on his treatment of Kelly, pretty much says it all. They are spineless and completely afraid of the Thumper.
LOL, it must be exactly what MSM is saying. I guess they were supposed to brawl and treat Megan like she was oh so frail.
Rubio did very well. He was serious and answered questions clearly, offsetting the previous criticism he is too young and inexperienced to be president.
But he still is too inexperienced to be President. What in his job history tells you he would ever be able to accomplish the things he said so eloquently? One of the things he said last night was he would repeal Dodd Frank. Isn't that what Senators do, write legislation to repeal laws? Why hasn't he introduced legislation to do it?
Some of the ones eloquently railing against Washington are Washington.
I didn't think it was dull at all, but I also think the field was too big to ask a lot of questions that required in depth, policy answers. Those will come later when the stage isn't so full. This was just to give them all some sound bites to get replayed, giving them more exposure in the media.

With Trump getting the most time, in all attempts to take him down, did rather well just telling it like it is.
The winner of the debate on substance. Ted Cruz and Mike Huckabee where very close to the overall win.
Did anyone notice, that the buzzer was not timed the same, for each question asked.
It was a fast buzzer more than a few times, compared to the other, buzzer times.
I swear Rand had 10 seconds, on one question.
Bush went on for over a minute, about his brothers advance into Iraq, before the buzzer sounded
BTW - on the pledge to not run 3rd party, Trump should've responded with something like: "I will happily pledge to not run 3rd party if my fellow candidates will pledge to not accept funding from donors and special interest groups".
Trump said nothing about third party last night. He said he wouldn't pledge to support the Republican candidate until he saw who that person was.
Rubio - moved up
Carson - moved up
Cruz - moved up
Trump - same / not sure
Walker - moved down
Paul - moved down
Huckabee - moved up
Paul - same
Kasich - nice intro
Christie - same
It's not often I see someone defend a man who called women "dogs" and worse. Nice.
If his behavior is/was so acceptable, why all the hate for Kelly for calling him on it?
Methinks, she touched a bit of a nerve.
Exactly. Some people defend Trump by saying "oh this was just a Twitter war" but really, could they please name other celebrities who have made similar comments about women? This is even unusual behavior for a celebrity, let alone a presidential candidate

I agree.
