One or more of the candidates will try to get Trump to twist off and say something fatal to his campaign.

Will they succeed? That's why we watch.

They will succeed.

And Trump's numbers will go up because of it.

The harder Trump slaps back, the higher he goes.

If he doesn't say anything to embarrass himself then they do not succeed in trying.

Yes, but all the "you can't say that about the hero John McCain" types will be declaring Trump dead..again.

I think Ted Cruz will be the big winner.

Cruz is smarter than anybody else in the room and he is a champion debater. He will dominate the night.

I have no doubt Cruz will shine. I also think Carly Fiorina will be a stand out.

Here in very conservative Rockwall, there will be at least 3 watching parties. We had to make up our minds, not by people, but by the restaurant we want to attend. The first debate will be during cocktail hour, then dinner during the lull, then, I guess drinks or dessert during the later debate.

I predict that Jindall will be voted off of the island.

Trump and Fiorina would make an interesting pair for the r's to field


dvr is set for tonight , I'll read the "results" and then watch it tomorrow

Yeah, I think I'll watch Stewart and dvr the 'debate' [sic] for later.

Really, really good shew --- can you imagine a better scenario than if the
Daily Show's last episode followed the great 'debate' [sic]???

I wish Me Fiorina could be on stage with the big boys.

She's very effective. If she can get exposure she'll go somewhere.

Not sure Cruz is all that smart but he is the very essence of clever.

Cruz' ability to hack out howlers is coming soon.

I'm hoping it'll be Cruz, Santorum or Huckabee.

Hillary would beat the ever lovin' poop outa those three. (It's gonna take about three minutes for them to piss
off the majority of women voters) I figure it won't take Trump much longer to flame out esp as we are beginning
to see that he has no legs.

I'm thinking we could do worse than Cruz ... folks will quickly catch on to his smarminess.

Anyhow ... tonight should be fun and will be the wake up call as to how out of touch the current of
group of Republicats is.

PS The temperature has dropped to 62 degrees and I'm already planning my first cross-country ski
outing. (Maybe us Dems could figure a way to Get Bill O'Reilly or Limbaugh to run. That would be
a gas.)


But ...

You're full of it! Cruz "swarmy"? I've known him for awhile now and never has my "swarmy" alarm gone off. Now this is up close and personal meetings. He has done everything that we've asked him to do. We're tired of the establishment. We DO want things shaken up and go back to constitutional living. Our only problem is that too many are afraid of following him, no matter their personal beliefs. They're afraid of not getting re-electing or not getting a choice committee. We need many more Cruzs. New York voters are stupid! Did you see that interview of New Yorkers posted here? That's why your city is in decline. Well so is every city run by democrats.

The more people actually see/hear Cruz, the better he will do. It's like Reagan in the 70s. We kept hearing from the media, ad nauseum, what a dangerous nutjob he was, but when we saw him in debates, we said two things: A) I'm voting for THAT guy; and B) The press no longer has credibility.

Professor Alan Dershowitz says:

Appearing Tuesday on CNN's "Piers Morgan Live," Dershowitz called the Texas Republican "one of the sharpest students I had, in terms of analytic skills. I've had 10,000 students over my 50 years at Harvard . . . He has to qualify among the brightest of the students."

I think I'll go with Dershowitz's learned and unbiased assessment of Cruz's intellectual prowess.

Well, that was weird.

Where's the "like" button?

I'd be happy with Cruz.
I would walk away before I would vote for Jeb Bush, Huckabee, Santorum and maybe Rick Perry.

Most of them already accomplished that with this woman voter.
