5. Rand Paul
6. Ted Cruz
7. Ben Carson
8. Donald Trump

Rubio is winning I agree. Bush in second is a joke.

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

What happened to all the debate prep that Bush was doing?

He hasn't gotten much chance to speak.

I vehemently disagree with you about Bush and Trump. Bush should be in middle and Trump in top 3.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

lol, all the Paulbots say Paul is winning regardless of reality.  People like you shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Paul did get lucky by attacking Trump right before the commercial break so he didn't have a chance to respond, though.

Too bad he got whooped across the room by Rubio.

Oh congrats, someone has a differing opinion than you so strip their right to vote or express themselves....real nice.

[Lyin' Steve]

Bush's advisors have already scheduled a "Walker call" with his donors so he can brace them for the fact that after a performance like this, and with 3% polling, he basically has to drop out.

[Catholics vs. Convicts]

"First you get the sugar subsidies, then you get the power."

Well done!

[Mr. Morden]

Carson: The big problem with the Middle East is Putin(?).

Do you even watch the debate or do you just get on here and post that Paul is winning?
Also lighten up, I'm not Benito Mussolini and everything I say isn't a constitutional crisis.

[Mr. Morden]

Now Carson's saying "We need to make the jihadists look like losers."

An odd way of phrasing it.

Bush has been invisible all night, as has Carson.

Paul won both exchanges.

Yes I support Rand but I also like Cruz and Carson.

Taking a page out of the Trump playbook I see.

He's trying to be like The Donald.

[Mr. Morden]

Kasich got a lot of speaking time early on, when he kept interrupting.  But now they keep skipping him.  It's been ages since he got a question.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Jeb's not getting a lot of claps. Lol.

[Likely Voter]

Carson and Bush talk about how Russia is new to Syria. They have had military bases there for years.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Lol Trump shut Jeb up again.

[The Other Castro]

Lol talk to the hand Jeb.

[Mr. Morden]

Trump: Putin gonna Putin.

[The Free North]

Trump's non-interventionism is fantastic

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Trump v.s Bush 3.0 Jeb's revenge.

[The Free North]

Geopolitics is a game you clown you stupid tard Bush

[Horsemask]

Bush couldn't think of the word "muslim"

[Mr. Morden]

Bush: If you're a Christian in Iraq, Syria, or Lebanon, you're going to be beheaded.

[Orthogonian Society Treasurer]

Jeb vying for the 'moderate Islamist' vote.
