I actually think he's just an egotistical rear end running out of pure ego.

They're trying to kill Trump's candidacy using methods that would kill normal candidates. The problem, of course, is that Trump isn't a normal candidate. He's a pod person.

Random sampling post-debate from Freep To: CaptainK Wow thanks for the link. What Kelly did was despicable. And the hatred and venom in her eyes and mouth when the audience applauded for Trump.

They started out on him.. the very first question was aimed at him to score points for Bret and for Fox... It was in bad taste and used to make news. Trump is the news of the day, every day.. and Fox wanted to score, using Trump. They are now talking about what they did. They also said he made a remark about the audience.. that remark was to the 3 moderators.. not the audience. They overrate themselves and then get Luntz on there to prove their thinking.

To: Paleo Pete Yep...good summary....Nothings changed my Cruz position...but i was disappointed trump didn’t do better “for himself”. 2,762 posted on 08/06/2015 8:25:00 PM PDT by caww To: Jim Robinson Tonight was about not making mistakes for all and convincing donors to put money on you in the race for many of the others. There are two people in the race that don’t need money and just needed not to make a major blunder, Trump and Bush. Both succeeded. But unfortunately for them, no one else blundered either. Those other eight, though, needed to convince donors to put in some more cash. Some did, some didn’t. My predictions: Trump adds 5 points to his lead. Carson adds 3 points and pulls in more financing, which he desperately needs. Cruz adds 3 points and keeps building organization and funds. He is in a good position through Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina with this performance. Walker adds 1 point and keeps his money people content. He needs to do better in the next debate, though. Paul adds 1 point but loses donors. Just not a good enough job to keep the money coming in. Unless he breaks out in the next month, he will be scrambling to get on the ballot in Iowa. Huckabee loses 2 points and sees the writing on the wall. He needed a couple of people to make a mistake tonight and give him an opening. Just didn’t happen. Christie loses 2 points and his fundraising stops cold. Just nothing there that inspires more money to be sent his way. Rubio loses 3 points and starts to find trouble with donors that will spill over into organizational “reshuffling” in early September. He will start sinking as he has fewer and fewer events. Bush loses 5 points and there is a scramble behind the scenes to “reinvent” him. Can’t ride his name anymore and what they are doing isn’t working. Slides into third place behind Walker in the next month and the presumption of his nomination is scoffed at. But he has plenty of money to make it into March as it is, so his money people play it safe for a while. Kasich loses almost all of his support and folds in the next two weeks. 2,763 posted on 08/06/2015 8:25:04 PM PDT by Anitius Severinus Boethius (https://www.wilsonharpbooks.com - Sign up for my new release e-mail and get my first novel for free) To: CaptainK Thanks.

To: P-Marlowe I just texted to my daughter in Florida: Cruz Carson Paul Trump She is a young teacher, very anti-Jeb Bush. She asked about KASICH. Her list was: Huckabee Kasich Rubio I honestly think that Carson helped himself the most. I honestly think they didn’t give air time to Cruz, and that he did a great job when he had air time. I think TRUMP was a standout because he was absolutely true to himself. I think Paul scored a knockout over Christie. The story of the debate, though, was that the moderators were the story.
