I think all five of them did well - it was "very spirited" debate! Must watch TV actually.... fricken hilarious at times. I thought everybody did well except for Kasich, I have had enough of this guy... nice guy, nice GOP ideas but so freaking boring and his time has passed. Trump was brilliant at times, and Rubio and Cruz did very well attacking and making points.
I think at this point 90% of the GOP voters minds are made up and most of the undecided votes have swung to Trump. Super Tuesday will be a bloodbath for the others. All four of them might drop out a week from now.
I dunno what the criteria for winning the debate is. If you consider winning that he was able to keep his insurmountable lead, then yeah I guess he won. If the criteria that he didn't suffer catastrophic failure before Super Tuesday, I guess you could say he won.
But I don't think he gained points there, and I think Cruz got just enough points back to take back Texas. That may actually be the best thing for Trump too. The longer Rubio and Cruz both stay in, the more they siphon votes off each other. If Cruz loses Texas, which his campaign manager says is a must-win, he might as well drop out.
Sucked for Trump that he was stuck in the middle of two people constantly attacking him, but it made for good TV and I'm sure CNN loved it.
Because Kasich doesn't get as much time as the leaders, he has to repeat his campaign win theme constantly. It gets pretty annoying sometimes.
I think we get a debate every week for the next 3 weeks or so. We'll see if Trump has the balls to come up with details of his plans in the mean time, because he's going to keep getting prodded repeatedly until he does.
Do I care that he agreed with Hillary Clinton on certain things? Not really. Trump should use this as a comeback:
"So what if I agree with Hillary on one issue? Just because we're republicans and they're democrats doesn't mean we have to have the complete opposite position. Should I not like ice cream just because Hillary Clinton does?"
Do I care that he has switched positions over the last 30 years? No, people change their opinions all the time. Things change.
Do I care that he used money to lobby for special interests with people, including Hillary? No, but it sounds bad she brought it up in a debate between the two.
Do I care that he makes his Trump line clothing in China and Mexico? No, but it makes him look really bad when one of his main themes is how we don't win with China.
Do I care that he subcontracted out work to a company that used illegals? No, when you're the head of a company you don't have time to go over all the granular details of vetting the people doing demolition.
Mexico was never going to pay for the wall. I'm impressed how he was able to diffuse that topic so easily by simply saying "They will, and it just got 10 feet taller" joke. Like I said before, bulletproof.
I'm not trying to justify for Trump. I don't even like him as a candidate. But when you're running a business, the goal is to make money. When you're the president, you have a different mindset.
I have a lot of friends that believe in that Illuminati crap. I just tell them, don't talk about it with me, I'm not interested. If there is some secret society, you either get in, or don't worry about it. Nothing you can do anyways. All it does it make you hate the world, which leads to a crappy life.
Let me repeat that, hating the world really gives you a crappy life. You're always angry, cynical, and no one wants to be around you.
