I don't even LIKE Trump and even I could see that he was being treated a bit differently by the questions he was asked.

It might be safe to say that people have had it with political correctness? I'm amazed at his poll numbers after the debate, I thought they would plummet. I guess people are more angry and fed up than I thought.

Stupid questions by Kelly and Wallace, was an embarassment as both surrendered their reputations to achieve some sort of gotcha, irrelevant, time wasting questions.

Kelly deserved to be trumped, as did Wallace.

Easy choice who should just go away...

Fiorino, Cruz, rubio, bush, Kasich came out on top, runners up, Christie, Walker.

The job of the moderators is to ask questions that the opposition (Democrats / Liberals / Socialist) would hit them with and answer voter questions so we would hear how they have to say. These questions are going to get asked anyway. It's not their job to soft shoe it.

From years of the media asking Obama soft ball questions Dems must have forgotten that. I'd expect the Democrat debate will be a set up for Hillary, asking how her grandchild is doing.

Fox and CNN in the post debate did everything in their power to discredit Trump. That's when you know you have someone worth paying attention too.

"GO TRUMP "
Megan has gotten by on her looks, but the moment she opens her mouth...Wow, cannot believe she is that stupid.

There is one problem with that. Fiorina can't beat Hillary. Unless something big and negative happens to Hillary like another scandal or criminal finding.

Fiorina can only be VP but that would be like round two of Sarah Palin. It would look rather lame and desperate for the Republican party to repeat the same failed strategy. But who knows anything is possible in this circus.

"Something big" happens to Hillary on a regular basis, but none of it seems to faze her supporters. It's crazy.

Donald Trump Gets Most GOP Debate Talk Time, Rand Paul Least.

A majority of Paul's speaking time was dedicated to arguing with Christie about national security. Paul had to fight for spotlight and airtime, How is that fair?

At least Trump got the most time. Thought Trump did pretty well last night. I gave him a B-.

I have to respectfully disagree with you there. I think she looks all right, ( pretty, classy) and she is a very smart woman.

I was suggesting something silly/incomprehensible/unfathomable/unrealistic....and never happen:

A Clinton/Fiorina ticket. Mix and match if you will. Something new. One way to achieve across the isle cooperation.

I know, silly.
