Trump did drat well considering how many questions were just attacks on him as a candidate rather than policy questions; it makes me wonder if asking him to outline his policy wouldn't have been a better avenue to try to discredit him, because attacks on his person just seem to slide off or blow up in their face.

I'm starting to develop a theory that Trump is actually fairly centrist in his politics and is bullshitting his way through the entire primary season

He couldn't find anything bad to say about single-payer?

Trite, contrived, mediocre, milquetoast, amateurish, infantile, cliche-and-gonorrhea-ridden paean to conformism, eye-fucked me, affront to humanity, war crime, should *literally* be tried for war crimes, talentless fuckfest, pedantic, listless, savagely boring, just one repulsive laugh after another

Carson seemed sleepy.

Also Kasich for Postmaster General 2016.

I find it insane he managed to get through this whole thing without being nailed down on any specific policy whatsoever. Except a big wall with a big beautiful door

yeah Trumps loving lucky they didn't ask him any policy questions. That's his real achilles heel, not answering for the 1,000th time whether he's successful or not.

like trump's abortion answer, clearly not focus grouped at all, just "i know a guy who was an unwatned baby and he's awesome"

if he wanted to flip-flop on that later, voters would find it totally reasonable. unlike everyone else beating the poo poo out of planned parenthood for the anger vote

Trump will lose a little bit in the polls after this, but will play the victim role perfectly.

Walker could maybe overtake Bush.

He said he'd guarantee that he'd support the nominee if he's the nominee. So he's almost there.

yeah with the exceptions of a few softballs to walker they were pretty tough. they straight up asked rubio "so explain why you don't suck"

megyn kelly has some balls and was willing to be assertive and forceful on her questions.

I liked Megan Kelly's question to Kasich about accepting medicaid expansion, basically was "Republicans love God but not when liking God means helping the poor because that means BIG GUBERNMENT"
