I thought the debate was done pretty well. It was pretty fast paced and smooth considering 10 candidates answering questions. The questions were good tough questions as well. I didn't catch the pre debate with the 7 smaller candidates.

I still like Carson though a debate doesn't seem to be his strongest point. I definitely started considering a few other candidates I didn't know or hadn't considered much before.
Bush, Rubio, and Kasich caught my attention. Paul is definitely an interesting and unique character as well. All of them made strong points on certain topics I think.

Christi did good on some points but I think he screwed up on the wire tapping debate. He could have formed his stance in a better way that would have made him seem less opposite to Paul's argument.

Never liked Trump and leaning away from Cruz, and Walker based on this debate.

Pretty much the same thing I thought after the Thursday debate! 

I really didn't like the format.....I like when they ask 1 q and everyone answers on their own. 

I just don't trust Trump. Calling BILL CLINTON before the debate? WTF?

CARLY!!!!

Agree! A leopard doesn't change his spots...

i didnt watch it because it's meaningless theatre that wont change the nominations or the election.

i dont believe hillary lost because of the debates.  she was trounced by obama hard at every turn.  she wasnt ready for that campaign.

It was interesting seeing Trump answer the question about how he had donated money to Clinton before and he pretty much admitted yes he donated money so he could get what he wanted from them later. Pretty much just admitted to unethical conduct though of course I am sure it is not rare. He just didn't have some slimy politician answer to it, just admitted to it and said it was actually a broken system. I think Trump is really just an opportunist somewhere in the middle of democrat and republican.

which is why i think people are fools for getting caught in his hype.

he's in it for himself, no one else.

Can you tell me ... who in office today is in it for someone OTHER THAN themselves???

Yes, he admitted to donating to Killary, and to more than half of the men standing on the stage with him, and NONE of them denied it. Corporations donate to BOTH sides, to insure that whomever wins they are guaranteed political favors. He was on point with his response, this isn't considered unethical, it's just how business is done. Make a list of the biggest contributors to both parties, you will find the same names on BOTH lists.

Is Trump an opportunist? Absolutely, he's a businessman, it's what they do. Is he a bombastic, arrogant asshole? Absolutely, but look at the results, he's managed to do what no other candidate has been able to do for the last 30 years, bring some excitement, some hope of victory to the GOP.

All because he tells the truth, as he sees it, without a PC filter. The reason everyone is pissed at him is that he's set the establishment on its ear. Does anyone think that we would be having the same discourse about immigration we're having now if he hadn't entered the race? No way, we'd be hearing mealy mouthed crap about amnesty and "paths to citizenship", just more of the same crap they've been feeding us for years, without results. He has forced the establishment candidates to stand up and push for what WE want for a change. He's touched a nerve because we all realize that the policies the GOP has been using aren't working and that needs to change.

Whether he wins the nomination or not, he's done us a favor, he's allowed the GOP field to say what needs to be said.

Trump is entetaining and not my first choice, but you gotta give him credit for speaking his mind. He says what he thinks....what a novel idea!

I especially liked his statement sbout things being too PC these days. 

You can see what the major GOP money backers think about him. 

Interestingly though Trump did seem to make an argument for limiting campaign donations or in someway overhauling it since he said it was a broken system.

What is the mystery here?

The Clintoons are very obviously for sale to the highest bidder, so Trump figured he better get his bid in.

Did not want to get beat out by the ChiComs, Saudis, Iranians, etc.
