Fox News Channel Detroit, MI GOP debate @9pm ET **live commentary thread**

[PeteB]

Irrespective of ideology, electability or personal preferences my choices for winners in this debate are:

1. Kasich
2. Cruz

[PeteB]

At the beginning Cruz talked about how he beat Trump 5 times. I count IA, TX, OK , AK....did he win some territory or something?

Minnesota.

Didn't Rubio win MN?

He did better than Trump in MN although he came in 2nd.

[Comrade Funk]

I hope the Republican Party implodes. They kind of deserve to after all of this.

Also, FOX News is biased against TRUMP. How come no one else got video evidence??

Minnesota.

Didn't Rubio win MN?

Yes, but Cruz beat Trump for 2nd place.

[Mr. Morden]

Btw, Trump is wrong about the 9/11 hijackers sending their wives out of the US before the attack.  Only one of the hijackers is known to have been married, and his wife never entered the US in the first place:

Ah yes, proof that Cruz can be just as lawyerly as Hillary

Well, he was wrong about Muslims dancing in the streets and celebrating in New Jersey after 9/11, too. He was wrong about Barack Obama being born in Kenya.

As Reagan used to say, "Facts are stupid things."

A play on John Adams "Facts are stubborn things"

As the moderators explained, because the video evidence for Cruz and Rubio was presented at the last debate - the one Trump skipped before losing Iowa.

[Mr. Morden]

After the debate, Trump released a statement walking back his comments on H1B visas:

Foxnews were a bit dumb.

The journo on the left asking about KKK. Trump disavowed the guy 18 times and then said you read all my other tweets after 1.3 ms but you never read the Disavow Duke tweet.

I liked the way Kasich avoided him as well.

The Trump University thing could cause Trump headaches.

Donald should just settle it. That was genuinely bad airtime.

Megyn Kelly was the Principal and she came into the class (with those lovely eyelashes god bless) and ripped him with some pretty good evidence.

I thought Trump was getting pretty angry with the University stuff, but he did not decompose. He will go away and build Voltron now and come back with a stronger defence.

One of the best defence mechanisms Donald Trump could employ would be not to say stupid sh**t in the first place.

All he has to do is shut up now and sail this baby home.
