Makes me sad that there isn't going to be an audience. I was looking forward to other candidates getting drowned out by people applauding and chanting "TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!"

No audience? God damnit.

So what were the highlights of the 2012 debates? I remember the riotous applause for Rick Perry listing how many executions have been done one Texas, his "oops" gaffe, and the entire crowd booing a two time vet who revealed he was gay.

Anything else spring to mind?

It's already been said but it's so they can use the shot clock buzzer when people go over their time limit. Yeah, for serious. :laffo:

Super bummed that Fox skipped the NBC poll to keep Perry off stage.

Although I guess the kids table debate needed the spice and he probably would have got lost in the midst of Trumpmania running wild.

I just made a bet that Trump will insult Bush first, against my friend who says he'll insult Obama first. Winner gets to hit the loser in the face with a dodgeball.

Would president Trump buy an A380 for air force one, just because it's larger?
