Yes, actually. There are natural gas pipeline projects in both NH and VT that are unpopular.

It's also the highest polling line of attack against Trump. People get angry about it for no reason (people are stupid)

Sunk his teeth into that chew toy and didn't let go.

Moves into the #1 spot on my Trump VP list. You have done well governor, and you should be rewarded.

Trump is going beat Rubio and win NH on Tuesday, and then I and thousands of other South Carolineans are going to vote Trump 2 weeks from today and help him beat Cruz here.

WE'RE GOING TO DO IT. WE'RE GOING TO BEAT THE ESTABLISHMENT AND THE ELITES. WE ARE GOING TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!!

Christie is taking Rubio's head home in the trunk of his car.

Trump actually had a decent night, certainly nothing that will harm his poll numbers and his rivals both took hits.

Trump turned heel on the audience to a chorus of boos and (rightly) called them all republican donor shills, and still got them applauding him again by the end.

Rubio tripped over the knife and stabbed himself repeatedly. It was like one of those cop stories where you're like 'yeah, okay, suuuure...' but he totally did it.

Realize that I have only read about the debate and not actually seen it. So Rubio collapsing, but there definitely seemed to be a narrative of Trump being stumped.

It was both Trump's best individual debate performance, and the best debate outcome for Trump.

It was Rubio's worst debate, OBVIOUSLY, but also very quietly Cruz's worst as well, with Carson exposing him as slime. But everyone forgot because Christie pulled Rubio's pants down on TV.

Trump only had one moment that could be taken as negative. Bush took a shot at him, he shushed Bush and held a finger to his lips. The audience booed and Trump called them out for being GOP donors and lobbyists. By the end of the debate they were cheering him again. Media outlets with an axe to grind with Trump (like Fox) are spinning that as armageddon, but it's actually likely going to play pretty well.

Everything else from Trump ranged from unremarkable to positive. The implosion of Rubio is a big plus for him and Cruz had a few bad moments without anything notably positive out of the night.

I'm also much less worried about Rubio as a general election candidate for the republicans.
