Watching last night's debate made me realise that Carson may be the craziest person still in the race. He thinks trying to avoid civilian casualties when you're bombing terrorists is asinine, proposess a flat tax plan in which even the poorest members of society are forced to contribute, and proudly declares that instead of fining bankers for breaking the law, we should abolish all regulations to foster economic growth. Even Cruz' statements were more moderate than his. I'm starting to think the only reason he doesn't get called out on his insane ideas is because no one can listen to him for more than thirty seconds without falling asleep.

Trump is a drat mastermind. He set himself up SO GOOD for the general election last night. Aggressively attacking George W. Bush's record, defending supporting funding for Planned Parenthood services for women's health under heavy fire. He is going to own the poo poo out of Hillary Clinton on foreign policy and the middle east and hang her not only by her poo poo record as S.O.S., but by burying her right along with the Bushes on the Iraq war and all the problems over there that sprung from it. But the planned parenthood thing was even more important. Romney was a centrist moderate, he kicked Obama's teeth in in the economy debate, so what did the Democrats and the media do? They laughably, yet successfully, pivoted to women's health and painted Romney as somehow being an extremist. When Clinton tries that garbage on Trump, he can say he defended women's health and funding for PP under heavy attack from Bush and the Republcians, "go look at the tape."

It cements my belief that Trump is the best Republican candidate, but won't it hurt him during the primaries? What's the reaction in SC?

He hurt himself. My wife was really turned off and said "I just can't vote for this guy." But did he hurt himself enough to lose a 15 point lead? I doubt it, seeing as the field behind him is crowded and NO ONE broke out last night. Case in point, after saying she couldn't vote for him, my wife also added that she had no idea who the hell she was going to vote for now.

How do you think the planned parenthood stuff will play in SC? It strikes me as alienating to the Cruz block of voters, which seems really risky for Trump down the line. E: beaten.

I'm gonna miss him, though. He's like Ron Paul and Herman Cain, the moderators can use him to defuse situations. Montasque posted:Cruz and Trump surrogates are pushing the 'RNC STACKED THE DEBATE AUDIENCE' talking point. Trump was smart to establish this in the last debate, now the media can pick up on it whenever they want.

We now have 3 South Carolina polls conducted post Iowa and New Hampshire. Average Result: Trump - 36.8% Cruz - 18.5% Rubio - 14.2% Bush - 10% Kasich - 8.8% Carson - 5.3% Trump's Bush/Iraq/Planned Parenthood/etc. gamble last night was brilliant. NO WAY he loses all of an 18 point lead in 1 week, and he scored MAJOR points and set himself up big time for the general election vs. Clinton.

The candidates trying to explain how Obama not nominating so the next President can do that instead is more democratic than letting the current President is fun to watch, although Chuck Todd is not the guy you want challenging them on it.

Here's some HOT TAKES from National Review: Rich Lowry: Trump Was Half-Crazed, But Does Anyone Care? quote:Certainly Trump’s behavior reinforces the idea that he’s disruptor and not just another politician, and Republican voters might not mind so much that one of the candidates is outspokenly anti-Iraq war (even if he takes it too far). Trump continues to be able to interrupt everyone else with impunity and act the Big Man on stage, with no one really able or willing to assert themselves against him. David French: Nobody Won The South Carolina Debate-- Conservatism Lost quote:I’m done. Until the fundamental dynamic of the GOP primary race changes, I’m done with parsing debate winners and losers. So long as Donald Trump dominates an overly-large field of ambitious, fratricidal competitors, we will continue to see absurdities...

CBS conducted a poll of Republican and Independents who watched the debate. Here's who they thought won: Rubio, 32 Trump, 24 Kasich, 19 Cruz, 12 Carson, 8 Bush, 5 http://www.cbsnews.com/news/poll-who-won-the-cbs-news-republican-debate-2016/ quote:Marco Rubio is the clear favorite among Republicans, while independents are largely divided between Trump, Kasich, and Rubio.
