I missed this since I don't have CNBC. Did Trump do anything that might hurt him? Is that too much to ask for?
Not really, he wasn't the center stage like before but he shut down a few other candidates and was teflon for several criticisms, including when he flat-out lied/was wrong about saying a thing, moderator apologized, then mod came back and said "here's your webpage where you said it."

Makes you wonder how things would have turned out if she had won in 2008 and a more experienced Obama was the inevitable candidate this time around.

Here's some half-assed predictions:

- Jeb is going to try really hard to look high energy, and attack Trump and Rubio. This could be make or break for him, especially if he bombs out and Rubio does well.
- Carson is going to take real heat for the first time and have to answer questions on his tax plan, his desire to cut medicare and SS, and all the stupid poo poo he's said in the past month.
- Trump will be Trump. He and his supporters have already declared him the winner.
- Fiorina is going to try and make her case again, but I think she's used up all her mojo. Also her time at HP is going to kill her at a CNBC debate.
- Kasich is going to come out swinging on Carson and Trump, make the case that he's the moderate fighter the establishment is looking for.
- Rubio is going to sit back and pivot all attacks into policy, and counter-punch on Jeb. All in all he will have a decent night and I think most will claim him the victor.
- Cruz is going to sit back and look like the 'adult' outsider candidate and make his case to the conservative base. Maybe he will finally plunge the knife into Trump's back, but I think it's too early for that.
- Christie will try and score some points on his experience, maybe have another slap fight, but will get less than 7 minutes face time outside of the opening and closing statements.
- Huckabee will make some down home comments and ah-shucksisms, try and get them Carson voters.
- Rand will get shoved in a locker.

This debate will get lower ratings than the last two due to the world series, the fact it's on CNBC.

I'd say I did pretty good with my half-assed predictions here. Jeb failed worse than I could have ever imaged though. He's so bad at this.

Al Queda was using Afghanistan as a training ground with the backing from the taliban government so who else's rear end gets whooped after 9/11?

That was one of Romney's key recommendations after losing in 2012: Control the 2016 GOP primary debates via the moderators/production so crazy things don't happen. Glad to see his recommendation was ignored.
