Please. Do we really need to say the things Trump said of Ted Cruz or Ben Carson? Those were not debates as much as a reality show - which was obviously appealing to Republican voters. That's fine but Democratic voters don't like that so much. Both are considered free campaign air time but the style is dramatically different.

The 2008 Dem debates told a different story.

It did get combative toward the end but here's the thing: every Democrat I know has said they will vote for ANYONE that gets the nomination. It might get combative toward the end again but at this early stage, the campaign air time is more a discussion of ideas than anything else. It's not like Trump supporters are going to vote for them so who cares. Trump has a base somewhere in the high 30s that will follow him through absolutely anything. These debates are not for them at all and there is no need to even pretend to care what they think.

Didn't watch them but probably just free campaign time to debate about!

I thought a couple of the candidates were really bad....but I would vote for any single one of them,if nominated over Trump. Trump is a rude, crude, childish narcissistic wanna be dictator who is embarrassing to our country, and completely inept and unfit for the position that he holds.


I think several of the candidates would make wonderful Presidents though.

I think you and I both could agree this is where we all need to step away from the party lines and go for someone who meets what our views are and our countries needs.
Last election, I was so lost on who to vote for. I didn't like anyone that was on the ticket. The only thing I knew for sure was that Hillary was an absolute hell no. I liked Jim Webb and would have liked him to have won the Democratic nod. If Bernie would have won the nod, it would have been much more interesting. Reality, I think Bernie would have won the presidency. I did vote for Trump for our country. I could not let Hillary win.
These debates, no matter how painful to listen to, is for everyone. It's for everyone to see how ignorant or how good, and everything in between on the candidates.
As we gear up for 2020 and in our home another deployment, I plan on being neutral and listening to everything so I can make the best decision for our country, our family and our kids as best as I can.

You thought all those open borders wackjobs would be better than the best president in decades.

I hope she does take out Biden since Joe is the only one with a reasonable chance of defeating our great President Trump.

LOL, I thought the first group was bad and it couldn't get any worse but this second group is
just as loony. How can they convince middle America about these policies lol.
It's definitely not a winning strategy.

Tuned in for 2 minutes, with the sound off. Heard nothing of interest. Found something else to do.
