This line about the wall becoming 10 feet taller just continues to be amazing.

I understand that Trump has a certain why with words, but I think he needs to expand on how exactly he'll get the funds more specifically more often. Just my personal preference.
The magic soon disappears if he has to talk about the "how".

I don't think Rubio is doing so well, even if I very much believe in him (though less in his candidacy, at this point).

Kasich really needs to stop with the moderate hero act and the "I'm above all this" nonsense. Drop out already.

Seriously? He just destroyed Trump, what more can you ask for
I guess I just didn't perceive it that way. Maybe I've seen too many of these debates, or maybe I'm being too pessimistic, but I think the only one on this stage that has been winning is Trump. All candidates are pulling off the same act as in all previous debates. We already know what the outcomes were.

Trump's attack on Cruz isn't too strong. But Trump's strength is not necessarily that he debates much better than everyone else; he doesn't. His strength is that his entire act is better.

The fact that mainstream Republicans still think Trump's position on healthcare will hurt him proves that they don't understand where his appeal stems from. They don't understand he's not playing the same game as they do.

How to beat Trump


1) Get him to talk on specifics or call him out for it
2) Hit him on his failures, make him seem weak. His biggest strength is how he pitches himself as a 'businessman'. Highlight the inconsistencies and you win.  
And most importantly: don't be impressed by him. That seems the biggest difference between Crubio's performance now compared to earlier debates.

Rubio has really been going against Trump, and Rubio, Trump, and Cruz have had the most time talking, leaving Kasich and Carson silent. I think it's because they don't take them seriously, and most Republican primary voteres want them to drop out. Good for Trump to call out CNN for asking him too many questions and not giving the others equal time.
As if Carson and Kasich are as relevant as Trump. He's first in the polls, he's going to get the most questions. That's how it works.
