I thought Trump made him look very foolish in this debate and by the facial and body language - I think he knew Trump was getting the better of him. If I were him I'd drop out now before he really does something to make him look worse.

I thought that Jeb landed a few punches on Trump tonight, better than the previous debates. Trump's responses did not seem very effective. Trump kept going on about being tough guy. Telling people how tough you are makes you seem weaker.

Trump clobbered him by belittling him being tough and being at 3% in the polls. You could see he was rattled in the closing statement.

Thats the big story for this debate. Bush is totally done, and I wouldn't be surprised if he drops out before too long.

Other big story is Rubio got hurt on immigration.

Trump and Cruz won.

And if he has any self respect left after this is over, he's a better man than me.

of the debate. I found it nearly bizarre for a Boooche. I guess this is what it looks like when they can't pull all the strings.
