I didn't - won't - refuse - to watch the clowns debate. But looking at the polls...

Trump by at least 75%. Then the wreckage behind him. Jeb! looks like he fared terribly (I know..they were all terrible) - but if Jeb! can't do something in SC - wow. In looking at three internet polls, Cruz is around 10 in one of them, Rubio in another. But....

Not a single even barely able, worthy person, never mind presidential candidate.

Tho I think little of the polls, imo jeb + kasich are 'normal' (or something,) and the others are completely unacceptable.

They're going to be in full panic mode in another couple weeks and they're risking a mass boycott of their candidate if it looks like they forced Trump to drop out.

Every time I see him anymore I imagine him in a tuxedo, howling "Puttin on the Ritz" to a crowd of villagers with pitchforks and torches.

Tonight was just so WWE/Jerry Springer ridiculous it was funny. Kasich was the most sane one on the stage, which means he's pretty dangerous if he gets any traction.

I don't even look at Republicon polls very often. It's more of a thing to do in passing or if they get a mention on a thread.

Republicons have virtually no chance to win the GE the demographics and electoral votes just aren't there, so they can twist in the wind as much as they like.
