Trump is the extended Middle Finger to the Political Establishment, that is all fine and good, but is not a long term plan.

I'm coming around to the belief that Trump was a planned event.

Changing the establishment is a long term endeavor.

I can understand all of the numbers except Trump and Carson.
I didn't think either one helped themselves the other night- I was wrong.

Got a poll on Megan Kelly?

The pole dancer with a law degree? (thanks for that line, Red Oak)

That might explain Trump.

How about Carson? He didn't bomb but I didn't see anything exceptional. Did you?

I didn't watch the debates, which is why I haven't commented on them.

..except the clips I've seen over and over.

Yes, I did see a great clip of Ben Carson. I think it was his closing statement..

Ben Carson had the best line of the night: "I'm the only one here to remove half a brain but if you look at Washington you would think someone beat me to it."

I think Dr. Carson got the rise because, I mean, who could not like and admire him? But he also took the tension right out of the room with his quip about brains. A good belly laugh is a great way to end a debate like that.
