Still can't believe Perry dropped out instead of trying to at least have one last hurrah in this debate.

I honestly don't know if anyone's gonna come out of this debate a winner.

Huckabee is already fulfilling Santorum's religious niche, Jindal is completely terrible plus the token spot is already occupied by Carson, a bunch of candidates agree with Graham's war boner, and nobody even cares about Pataki since Kasich is already the "Governor who won't win".

None of the losers have more than ~1%, even if they all their support goes to the same candidate they barely move the needle.

He declared and organized an official Days of Prayer for Rain in the State of Texas. In the next four months drought spread from only 15% of the state to 70% of the state, culminating in wild fires that destroyed 2,947 homes.

Which debate in 2012 was it that had the giant video of Reagan to introduce them? I think a photo of it was in the election OP for a while? Maybe I am making this all up?

How the hell do you fail to qualify for the retard debate when you are a former governor? Aren't the qualifications just, "exists"?

Hugh Hewitt is a pretty big piece of poo poo. Can't wait for him to poo poo all over this debate with his dumb poo poo.

Santorum will win the losers debate. Trump will win the popular losers debate because it doesn't matter what the hell you say in these things as long as you turn the spotlight to yourself. Biggest losers? Gilmore for not even being able to make it and Fiorina who will be ripped to shreds by Trump over her failed business tenure and possibly over her failed political campaigns as well.
