As usual, the voters didn't observe the same "debate" that I observed.

The aftermath of Trump, the stuff that is happening now and his reaction to it, will be his downfall to the "R" party. His personal debate with Rand Paul didn't help either one of them. After this morning, Trump can only further divide the party. People will see him, as my wife expressed it, after hearing some tweets about him passing on some gross comments about Megyn Kelly. My wife said, "We've got an asshole in the White House now, do we need another one?" I think Kelly's question was appropriate, many people want to know. I agree with him on Rosie but I'm not running for president. He's got a "My way or the highway mentality, much like Obama. I don't see him as being any different than Obama, only in a different direction. I think he'll blow it even further, just give him the opportunity.

I was disappointed in Trump. Perhaps he should have done some debate prep instead of going golfing. He could have done so much better, for example use the "will you support the nominee" question to say "You don't take options off the table when making a deal".

I wish Rand Paul would have been better, although it's interesting that he seems the only one who actually cares about the constitution.

I'm shocked at the polling this morning. I guess people are really angry with politicians and the less you look like one the better.

Trump was a disappointment, although not an unexpected one. Rand was irritating as well as disappointing. He reminded me of a child arguing with a sibling. I had the mental image of him stamping his foot.

I preferred Carly Fiorino from the Happy Hour debate to anyone from either debate. I was rather surprised at this.

I was also rather surprised to find I disliked Megyn Kelly in this forum. Every time I saw her I got the impression of the supercilious smile and eyerolls of a Mean Girl. She never struck me that way before. I imagine, being an old timer, I have different expectations of what a debate is ...and good TV is not one of them.

Don't know why these two Q & A sessions were called "debates." Everyone plays fast and easy with words these days.

Good Grief.
I think that those who voted for Trump miss their daddies. It's obvious that they don't care what he says so long as he says it in his bombastic manner.

People are still drawn to his blunt talk. I thought Jeb was pretty bland but I don't like him anyway. He isn't scoring to well right now.

I couldn't believe how much Walker kept talking about God. It obviously backfired.

Can't see how trump could be ahead in the poles. Either it's a lie, an anomaly or everyone polled is dumber than we think.

That poll is hard to believe. Looks like a lot of people wanting to see the show continue for entertainment ala Donald Clinton. I haven't seen any if the other polls. Needed to take a break.

A throw-away vote is a vote given to a candidate
who doesn't have a chance to win.

Funny, no Clinton. Afraid of seeing how she compares to the others ?

freedomforall,
Trum and Hillary Clinton wouldn't be the only
choices? Well, if Trump got the Republican nomin-
ation and H. Clinton got the Democratic, a 3rd par-
ty or independent vote would be a throw-away vote.--But I hope that won't happen. If Clinton
is the Democratic nominee, and somebody like
Cruz is the Republican, though, if Trump runs as
a 3rd-party candidate or an independent, that
could cause Clinton to get it. And that would be
a disaster.--I just mean that if Trump gets the Republican nomination,
I guess I'll have to hold my nose and vote for him.

I think that Trump is like a cross between Ross
Perot and P.T.Barnum. I sure hope he doesn't get
the nomination, and that enough people have sense
enough not to throw their (third-party/independent)
votes away on him. Still, if he did get it, I'd vote for him over Hillary Clinton--although that in it-
self is no great compliment.
