Kasich and Carson coming out in soft defense of Trump's opposition to the Iraq War was interesting. Meanwhile, you've got Rubio and Bush teaming up to vocally support it.

What's the Republican electorate's position on the war?

It is crazy how much audience reaction affects who people thing is winning or losing the debate. If the crowd was booing Jeb/Rubio's bullshit and cheering Trump he'd look like he was massacreing them.

He wished it could be as respectable and orthodox as spying. But somehow in his hands the traditional tools and attitudes were always employed toward mean ends: cloak for a laundry sack, dagger to peel potatoes, dossiers to fill up dead Sunday afternoons ...

Trump is a truther. He has to be. He saw his New York collapse around him and now he wants the Bush family to atone for their sins.

This is the most epic grudge.

9/11 Happened because of Clinton!!!

Did that happen? I hope Trump continues to tell off this audience.

The audience should be required to shut their loving mouths. Isn't that how it used to be?

It's the crowd. Lots of people hear the crowd and say "wow he's loving up", but the voter at home's thinking "gently caress those guys".

No debate ticket lottery; seats going to GOP faithful

http://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/news/politics/2016/02/08/no-debate-ticket-lottery-seats-going-gop-faithful/80005206/

quote:

A "huge majority" of the South Carolina Republican Party's tickets for this weekend's presidential debate have been given to county chairs, party activists and elected officials, SCGOP Executive Director Hope Walker said. The party will no longer distribute tickets through a lottery system, as it had originally planned, citing limited space at the Peace Center.
