While Trump's numbers still show he was favored, he did little or nothing to improve or win over new supporters. As a matter of fact the way CNN played to him provided a distinct advantage....FOR HIM. He did display his usual come out of the box swinging......even before the opposition finished a sentence. He clearly demonstrated he has NO ABILITY to listen. A definite by product of his wealthy lifestyle wher he is most likely rarely challenged. He also displayed a tendency toward being very immature by pouncing anytime he heard something said he disagreed with. I personally think he gained little or nothing from the debate while creating skepticism about his viability.

On the other hand, Carly Fiorina gained mightily. In fact, in my opinion, she out classed every single candidate on the stage. She presented herself as presidential where I do not hink any of the others, including Trump did. She listened well. She was very articulate and prepared. She metered her rebuttals to stay on point and make hers. She handled Trump and his "face" commentary like a master, cutting him off at the knees with accuracy and effect. Fiorina gained more last night than anybody last night. She has provided the women's voting block one who is worthy of being their first female presdient! I predict she will now become an entity to be reckoned with in the days to come.
She most assuredly out classed, out performed and literally and figuatively crushes anything Clinton would like to be viewed as.

Carson, Bush and Rubio worked to hard to show they are worthy of attention. Quality wise they were completely over shadowed by Trump (again) and this time, by Fiorina.

Hats off to Kaisich for calling CNN on the approach they were taking with the debates.

The rest of the field....rank from so-so to they should not have been there.

If there were an election between Fiorina and Clinton this week Clinton would lose.

Hopefully there will be some personal opinions to follow rather than parroting the media or party lines.

Mrs Clinton has nothing to worry about from any of these jokers

Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better and keeps the boogieman away ... as her numbers continue to tank

Here's the gist from last night, and you heard it here first.

the 2016 Republican ticket will be Trump Fiorina (yes, they will kiss and make up when the time comes)

That is a lot different than being expressed by more democrats as evey day goes by.
It is one thing to be supportive to a fault (if neccessary) of the party. Quite another to remain loyal to a failing candidate. It is not dis-loyal to seek a better candidate within the party......if winning matters more than personal loyalty.

I think Trump's star will lose it's luster in the coming days. The ability to get things done sitting on top of a multi billion $$ empire is very much different than getting it done as a sitting president.

It usually takes a good year or maybe even two before a new president learns what they can and cannot do compared to a wealthy private citizen. What then matters is what the new president does in year 3 and beyond to make things work.

Example? Obama learned....missed his opportunity the first two years with a democratic congress and then went on to do nothing of substance to improve how the govenrment works. He did also learn that he could ignore and side step the constitution with executive orders and just ignoring the laws of the land.

At some point it will become obvious that Trump is saying what many of us want to hear and that is driving his numbers. That will change as the voters then look to who is best to carry out what they heard?

I hope you are not the only one that thinks that. There are going to be a lot of depressed liberals jumping off of roofs, come election night. Regardless of the Republican that wins, I'll be dancing in the street. I'll predict that Billy Clinton will soon be getting his dream, his wife out of the way.

I thought that Trump tanked.
Fiorina did OK but came off as kind of brittle and cold, still a bit defensive.
Bush did a bit better, but still looked like high school.
I think Rubio spoke the best.
Carson seemed to be a bit more relaxed and handled Trump easily.
First time I liked Christie
Kasich is still good, but is like an old shoe. Comfortable but the shine is gone.
Huckabee is still great, but doesn't have a chance
Paul was the worst, and might as well be on the Democrat side.
Cruz looked like he was doing an advertisement one minute and preaching in a church the next.
Walker kind of blended in the background and looked more like VP material.

Personally, I liked Rubio's whole demeanor and responses. If not for his stance on Illegals, I would support him.

Too bad we can't take the best of each and install them in one. BUT, any one of them will be a better president than Hilary would have been. She's gone, but just doesn't know it yet. As it is right now, I doubt the Dems will pull half the voter turn out they are used to on election day. It's just a matter of which Republican candidate will be our choice for the next president.

The winner of the debate last night was definitely Hillary. The Repubs showed they didn't have any solutions and are not in touch with most Americans. Republicans clawing at each other over how best to limit women's health choices. What an embarrassment. Trump is a buffoon and no one takes him seriously. He is entertaining, though, I'll give him that. Kind of like watching Saturday Night Live. If he is the best the Republicans have to offer, it'll be a slam dunk for the Democrats, no matter who they choose in the primary.

Which Republican is next to leave?

I would guess Santorum will be next, followed by Huckabee, Walker, Graham, Pataki, and Cruz.

I like your assessment. Taltarzac.

When you get rcovered, please enlighten us to sample solutions Clinton is proposing. And then spend a few minutes about how she is staying in touch with the people and how is that measured.
At your convenience.

The reason people will vote for Trump is they think he's willing to go to DC, break some china and shake the place up. The rest of the candidates, both R and D, are windup dolls .... they spout out talking points.

Talk is cheap ... we want action.

Don't overanalyze ... it's pretty simple.

All the above designed by CNN and unfortunately sucked in some of the candidates.
I see you are touting the democratic slam dunk and not a Clinton slam dunk....congratulations acknowledging reality.
And we do understand why dems need to keep referring to republican debates as clownish, entertaining and what ever the talking points suggest.

At least the republicans are getting in front of the public, tight wrong or indifferent to allow us all to form opinions.

Too bad the democratic party and Clinton have decided to not do that.....for obvious reasons.

Funny joke. I bet there are some liberals hanging on that really feel that way....
