Also, there were 4,500 voters in the audience for the last debate. Tonight's audience will only be a few hundred GOP officials and party insiders.

Many of these officials and party insiders will be sitting stony faced in response to the lunacy on display. La creme de la creme, watching their party's ongoing and systematic descent into madness. (I hope.)

Predicting they're going to say Trump lost and Carson/Fiorina were the big winners just like Fox did immediately after their debate. Data during the debate will show no interest in Carson or Fiorina, but after enough of the media saying they're the clear winners they'll both see another bump. Similar to the first debate. Exactly the same, in fact.

Trump increased in the polls after the first debate. If everything stays the same and those three get post-debate bumps, the rest of the field will be polling at 0%. My money's on something stupid happening involving Christie, Paul or Huckabee.

i doubt theyll go with carly or carson this time. originally they went with that to try and steal from trump to other "outsider" candidates, but that flopped when instead they only ended up stealing from the establishment candidates. my bet is Jeb is the fox "winner"

He has to put in a respectable performance to do so. If he's a mealymouthed bitch who Trump takes to the schoolyard, I think Fox starts looking back toward Christie and Kasich.

Here are my predictions:

Donald Trump: He'll have boned up on foreign policy enough to sound like he knows what he's talking about while still just shouting; the lack of crowd energy will hurt him, but even if he slips in the polls afterwards, it won't be anything near a death-blow.

Jeb Bush: He'll try to come off as energetic without being too aggressive, and it won't work.

Scott Walker: He has nothing to lose, with his numbers steadily dropping; he's all in this time, with everything he can muster about the evils of teacher unions in Seattle etc. Probably a moderate bump in the polls afterward, but nothing too encouraging for his donors. The audience is well-suited for him.

Ben Carson: His complete ineptitude/inability to perform on the public stage won't go over as well this time; debate is not his strong suit, and he lacks the capacity for bluster or misdirection to get away with it.

Ted Cruz: With Huckabee's and Trump's powers combined, he is the tea party's evangelic hope. But he will, as always, come off as a sniveling worm.

Marco Rubio: Rubio has everything to gain by watching as Bush and Walker sink themselves and he knows it; another solid, if unexciting, evening.

Mike Huckabee: KIM DAVIS CHRISTIANITY OUTLAWED ABORTION MURDERS *polls remain unchanged*

Rand Paul: He has nothing to lose; he's going to be swinging for the fences at anyone and everyone. It won't matter.

John Kasich: He has nothing to gain by saying anything outlandish and will continue to float along in the current, somewhat like Rubio but with less hope for establishment backing later on in the season.

Chris Christie: He also has nothing to lose; he's going to be swinging for the fences at anyone and everyone. It won't matter.

Carly Fiorina: Expect lots of braggadocio about being the only candidate bumped up to this round, bland references to business experience equalling foreign policy experience, and her being flustered by any attacks or criticism from moderators or candidates.

From my experience it's typically around an hour and a half that the candidates lose energy and things get super boring. I'm hoping that there is a Trump card against this scenario this time.

It should be noted that each of the podiums will be roughly two feet apart from each other. Yes, Jeb and Trump will be an arms length away from each other.

Also what's the odds of one candidate slapping another on the back... lol
