Gonna miss the first hour getting home from work but I'm excited to see Trump coming off his big victory in Iowa lay waste to electoral criminal Cruz and bubble boy Rubio.

It's going to be yooge and beautiful.

How on earth is Fox News going to spin tonight as a stunning victory for Marco Rubio? He's had a disaster of a debate so far.

I think he had a chance of winning NH if he did well tonight. I'm not sure that's possible for him now.

Could be wrong though.

I'm not sure he could win an election for dog catcher now.

When Trump becomes President he should lock Christie and Rubio in cages, force them to debate on TV every night for their dinner. Or at least however long it takes for Rubio to starve to death.

How stumped was trump tonight?

Or was it all just stabbing Rubio to death in a back alley?

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.

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.

That said the atlantic's debate coverage has been universally terrible this year! V:v:V

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.
