Says Trump the winner of the debate byu a large margin.. lol.. i know its drudge.. i would expect Trump to increase or stay steady and carson to drop.. Rubio and Cruz mat go up a few points.... IMO... If its Hillary vs Trump.. we should hopefully be able to get back the House of Reps too... hopefuly... but lets not count our chickens.. Hillary needs to be on her A game.. go Blue Team 2016...

He is screwed. At least a lot of donors wasted money on him.

I thought that, in theory at least, the SuperPACs were not directly run by or associated with the campaign.

How can JEB be able to disburse the money if not associated with it?

Unless Rubio surges into the upper teens and several more clowns drop out, they'll need a savior to ride in and help them get rid of Trump.

I know he says he's not interested but they all do. I actually believe a lot of this anti-establishment fervor is fueled by anti-Bush fervor so it may depend on whether Jeb throws in the towel sooner rather than later. I think there is a lot of fear of a Jeb nomination - as much as they hate HRC, they don't want to vote for Bush. With him out of the way, they'd be more likely to rally around someone believed to be electable even if he/she wasn't ideologically pure. Trump certainly isn't.

shrieking at one point. Nicolle needs a xanax. She's watching the demolition derby of her party's candidates. I wonder if she realizes it is already over for the GOP...

GOP strategists can peddle their skills elsewhere but mere GOP apologists like Nicole have nowhere to go.

She bit some guest's head off right toward the end-- as usual I was walking in and out of the room most of the time and didn't catch enough of the exchange, just that it sounded like she was defending one of her padrones.

Thu Oct 29, 2015, 12:22 PM
Oct 2015

Clinton won her debate because expectations were set low, and she exceeded them. Carson was the big looser because so many Republicans expected greatness, and he delivered... um... What did he deliver? He seemed to have a slick style and an answer for everything, but he broke that streak. It will be interesting to see if voters abandon him now that their shiny new toy seems to be missing a wheel.

Carly kept trying to make points and then went on some long-winded rant, so they didn't seem to call on her much. I can't remember anything about Rand except his wanting a government so small that no one can see it (or something like that).
