Here is Trump's drive-by slam of Cruz during closing statements:

"That's because he got Ben Carson's vote, by the way, but we won't say that."

edit: Watch Kasich in the background literally laughing and yelling "OH SNAP"

Jesus, it's even worse seeing it a second time. This is much worse than Perry's gaffe, or any other I can think of. The guy got pretty far being a do nothing, say nothing politician, but this is the end. I have no idea where the establishment is going to go now. They have to be making GBS threads themselves.

Two times is acceptable, but the third and especially the fourth times were simply embarrassing. This is the sort of gaffe that can stick with you.

That it occurred in the first 10 minutes of the debate is especially bad.

On a fourth watch I still have no idea what was going through his mind. Does he just simply not have any social ability? Can he not answer a question without going through the lines his handlers told him? What the hell is going on? He knew Christie was going to go after him, much like he knew Jeb was, and he completely fumbled.

Not unthinkable, no, but Buchanan was a better politician than Trump is.

That said, I think Trump had a good night. I have this funny feeling that he won't run away with it, and that Rubio's meh-to-bad performance tonight is going to keep the field crowded until Super Tuesday.

You might even say that Buchanan was a politician period. Trump is some dude. Popular, but some guy just the same. The weird thing is that the exact thing Christie bludgeoned Rubio with applies to Trump x1000000

I'm actually kind of shocked Christie went on the defensive after that. Given how obviously quick on his feet he is, I'm surprised he bothered to reply to Rubio's attacks rather than go for the jugular.

Yeah, there is this weird dynamic where one bully is going after one side, and the other goes for the rest. The fact that no one just simply attacks how Trump lost Iowa, and is a four time bankrupt LOSER is baffling.

he's likely been flying on talking points this whole time, the gop field is just such a poo poo show that no one noticed

god loving help him now though because the more savvy candidates like trump and cruz know his game

Ordinary people do not differentiate between chapters 7, 11, and 13. The other candidates could totally paint trump as having personally gone bust because some of his companies filed chapter 11 and get away with it.

rubio is such a bad debater, it's really a shame he won't make it to the general. i was genuinely looking forward to him falling on his face every time he had to think on his feet.
