    Pathetic.
    I really felt the same way myself...maybe a debate is supposed to be wound tight, but personally the behavior didn't sit well for me.

    I have seen several friends become more undecided on this field because of the last two debates. This one became awkward to me at times??

      Welcome to what a HUGE swat of folks have come to realize! The NYC thing just does not play well in many parts of the country.

      Bingo!!! Not a pretty picture for the R's. Guess a positive is that the Dem's are not sitting very well with those two misfits......lol!

        Sorry, but I'm always a bit amused when people think a debate shouldn't have much....debate. I thought it was a vigorous debate with some substantive issues discussed, with the side benefit that it allowed Donald Trump to show what an unhinged blowhard he is. Many times. Here are my overall thoughts:

        Trump has had some trainwreck moments in every debate, but I think he had quadruple the number in this debate than any other. He looked really irritated and flustered many times, obviously got booed all over the place, just looked so unprofessional and unpresidential. Not to mention his answers were just more of the same nonsense for the most part, heavy on cliches and campaign slogans, extremely light on details and specifics. The exchange about profanity will definitely not do Trump any favors with South Carolina voters. I still can't believe he mouthed "F*** You" on the stage, on live national television, in South Carolina. Even his "what the hell" comment will turn some SC voters off, guaranteed. His flubs tonight are too numerous to mention, but let's just say he heavily confirmed the attacks on him not being a Conservative.

        Rubio didn't have any major flubs like in the last debate, and he did have some good moments, but I never can shake the impression that he is using talking points and that he is very nervous and forcing things. He talks way too fast and sometimes I feel as though he's yelling. Irritating. He looked like a dolt, though, when he got smarty-pants with Cruz about not being able to speak Spanish, then Cruz replied to him, in perfect Spanish. Rubio was not expecting that. Pretty funny. He told multiple lies about Cruz's record, but then, he does that at every debate (and at all his rallies). And then he called Cruz a liar when Cruz pointed out Rubio's record on certain things.

        Kasich, not worthy of much comment, but he lied about the Medicaid/Obamacare thing.

        Jeb was very aggressive, and did get some hits in on Trump, but I thought some of it felt a little gratuitous and not really relevant to the topic being discussed. Jeb might have helped himself a little, little bit, but I just don't think he's ever going to get enough votes in these primaries to be the nominee.

        Carson was...an advertisement for his web site.

        Cruz was very solid all the way through, had some very substantive answers, particularly on the Supreme Court. I was also so glad that he finally got into it with Trump. Trump lost it, while Cruz was cool and collected, and right.
        When was the f u moment? At the debate?

            Let's keep things in perspective here, it may have been " embarrassing", but really is it as embarrassing as the Dems parading an geriatric admitted socialist and treasonous wench as their only two options.

              True. As embarrassing as it was, it was nowhere NEAR as bad as the Dems.

                The establishment/RNC desperation with seeding the audiences is the most pathetic part of it all. Trying to force a candidate to the general has not worked in a long time and will not work this go around. They do not have a viable candidate.

                  I just refuse to vote for another career politician. And some folks try to act like Cruz is some sort of Angel. [emoji4]

                  I think Cruz is a snake. I think Trump is too. But at least he is rattling. Cruz is just being a water moccasin.

                    A true, clear conservative, like Carson or Huckabee, will never stand a chance in today's political grooves. Most of today's conservatives would have been considered liberal 25-30 years ago. Today's conservatives are way more tolerant and some even support what would have been considered very liberal policies, lifestyles and behaviors 25-30 years ago. I remember a time when "conservative really meant something". It still does for some. We are now the minority.
                    Times and morals have changed in this country. The "PG" rated movies of today would have had a "R-18" rating in the 80's or maybe even a "X" rating. Just a small example.


                    That's where the problems begin the "true conservative" candidate. We have veered way left as a whole.. It will be next to impossible or impossible for a "true conservative" to ever hold that office again..
                    Most of today's, so called conservatives, are just to liberal to back them.
                    Do you think Reagan would be a "conservative" today?

                    For the record I think being conservative or liberal is stupid. You should be for the Constitution. Everything after that will fall into the right place.

                      Why is so many worried about Hilliary? Bernie is the one they need to look out for.
