    I'm not watching, but I think it's going to be a blood bath.  It's the last chance for Cruz and Rubio to take down Trump.  I have no doubt they will try to hit with everything they have.  Honestly though, having heard Trump supporters, it doesn't matter what you say about Trump- they love him regardless.  
  • Yes it's a big blood bath! I have to say it's very entertaining.

    Yes but he is being his typical self and I don't think it will affect his polls. They have mentioned a LOT about how he has written checks to dem politicians. Rubio was badgering him to hear what his plan for replacing aca with. Brought up his support for PP. Poor Carson had barely gotten to speak.

  • They were asked about the apple back door stuff and responded that they would force apple to comply with it. I certainly don't agree with that.

  • Why did they wait till this late in the game to attack him. Why didn't they try this earlier in the season?

  • I'm glad to say I didn't watch. Don't plan to.
  • I think they all did pretty well. Wish Carson had more time. I really liked Kasich!!
  • I broke my fast.  HOLY SHIT DAVID DUKE ENDORSED TRUMP.  That's it.  The Republican Party is OVER.  You can't have the KKK endorsing Trump or any Republican.  This is insane.

    Poor Carson. I felt bad he hardly spoke at all. I don't think cnn was fair to Carson or kasich. They focused on the main 3

  • Ted Cruz's voice drives me nuts. Does his voice drive anyone else batty?!

    No not his voice. His face is what gets me.

    As much as I hate to say it, the fact that David Duke was a former KKK member is the biggest thing he has that brought him notoriety and fame.  He's only held a political office once.  As a state senator.  That's it!  And that was almost 25 years ago.  Though he's unsuccessfully run for everything from Congress to POTUS (multiple times).

    Yet he can still pull national headlines, on occasion, and people in other states know who he is.

    That is the worst type of headline. When he tried to run for president as a republican it gave the party a terrible reputation that they had trouble shaking that reputation. In fact I'm not sure they ever completely got rid of it. The have to kick Trump out or he will drag the party down.

    He actually ran first to try and be the Democratic candidate, then became a Republican, and ran again to try and be the Republican candidate.  Though different presidential election years.

    He was never even close for either.  I'm surprised it damaged the GOP.  Oohhh.  I just read on Wikipedia that the Republican party tried to block him from running under their party.  Something like that.

    I only vaguely remember him running and it actually gave me a bad impression of Louisiana, not the GOP, lol.  But that was when I still lived in CA and was six years before I moved here.

  • Ugggghhh! The debates are so frustrating now! Trump's face makes me want to throw my laptop (since I don't have cable to watch the debate). All he does is attack ad hominem and no one seems to understand that he doesn't have any real arguments!

    Also, I think Rubio had his best debate yet last night. Of course it won't affect the poll numbers. The other dumb thing is that people have been voting in the Super Tuesday states for weeks already because they have mail in ballots. Trump will probably win every state and we'll be doomed. Trump may win the presidential election, but the GOP has already lost.

    Christie just endorsed Trump today 


    I think the reality of Trump being the nom is getting real.

    Also I heard Trump say last night after the debates that he is going to act more presidential once he becomes the nom.  I really do think he has acted like he has to get votes and stay in the media.

  • He has said multiple times that he would act "different" as President.

    Ummm...that's still a major problem-he basically announced he has zero integrity. Vote for Trump and you'll have no idea what you are getting...

  • Wait wait wait. WTF. Chris Christie just endorsed Trump...


    I think he's trying to be the VP.

    Okay. Now I have to mark Christie in the "tool" column. Sorry to anybody who likes him. My opinion of him just went down.
  • Oh I liked Christie but this is bs. He has to be vying for the VP slot. So sleazy.
  • So much SMH.  I can't believe this whole Trump situation is reality. 

    And Christie's endorsement?!  What the @#$%

    I may be casting my first ever democratic vote in a presidential election.

    I may not be voting at all like ML - or 3rd party depending on who is running for that.

  • Christies WTF WTF WTF.  I can't believe I considered voting for him.  What a douche bag.

    This election really sucks!

    The sane Republicans don't stand a chance in this electionm and on the other side we have two left wing nutters, one who IS a untrustworthy criminal. I just cannot vote for Hillary who did not care to protect our national security as SOS and now she wants a raise. lmao! Nooooo just NO FREAKIN WAYYYY!

    I am still voting R but this is just insane!

    Trump is not my favorite in any way but I think he is trying to take people out before they succeed in taking him out because there are so many candidates still in the R side.

    I think it's his strategy and it's working. He's too much of a blow hard for my blood. He is definitely a smart man. Maybe he's right and would know how to win for our country. He's much softer than he lets on.
  • I won't vote Clinton. I have no idea what to expect for the rest of this election cycle.
