Will bush and kasich agree that the senate stonewall the appointment of scalias replacement until the next potus is in place?
Rubio could really help himself if he pledges to build the wall asap.
I wonder what cruz is going to attack trump with – most assuredly he will.
Cruz would be the perfect play as Scalia’s replacement. Trump should play that card. “Ted, if you drop out and support me, you’ll have 40 yrs in the SC. ”
And do it tonite, Donald.
Who are these moderators/questioners? The lead guy (Dickerson) is a pure idiot, or a 2016 Democrat; no wait, same thing. He tries to correct Cruz on when last SC justice appointed during POTUS election year, has to get corrected by Cruz and ends up being booed by the audience for his obvious lack of preparation or knowledge around his questions.
Sample question: Given my misunderstanding of the American political culture and your platform, and accepting my stupid assumptions and ignorance about flat tax vrs sales tax, nominating vrs confirming SC justices, what would do you if …….?
I love Trump calling the audience “lobbyists;” a great shot at the establishment. There is no doubting the animosity between Bush, his family and Trump. BTW, if Bush doesn’t like Trump going after his family, he should pull out of the race. What does he think Hillary would throw at him?
It amazes me, Trump goes into debates, gets the audience mad at him, they boo, hiss at and poo poo him. Then he cleans up at the primary, repudiating the GOP establishment “thought,” which btw has ensured two unnecessary losses to an inferior Dem POTUS candidate.
Now they’re going for a third shot at failure against a sociopathic incompetent. When, if ever, will they understand Trump is talking directly to the voter, not them or the intelligentsia, and is quickly closing the deal without their help.
Conrad Black seems pretty optimistic about a Trump victory:

Jen bush sounds like a pre programmed robot.
I watched it for about 10 minutes. Bedlam. Total waste of time.
I’m sorry , trump sounds like the only one that has nuts . Disagree if you must but all the others talking compared to him may as well be reading a script …so fake so disconnected.
On a side note I never thought a billionaire would ever be able to speak in such a manner that regular people understand. Meat and potatoes .
Trump is more evidence of the adage that politics is the art of choosing the party/candidate/policy/whatever that will do the least damage.
I wish all politicians would just take a friggin time out with their legislation. still at it after 150 years here in Canuckistan? 240 friggin years south of the 49th, and they’re stilllllll at it.
take a time out. all of them.
Very good friend of mine has been a Trump fan…
Right up until tonight. His words, “Trump made an ass of himself!”
I’ll say!!!
His opinion: Rubio won.
Mine too.
Clearly.
“””His opinion: Rubio won.””
Why would you think that? If you were observant you would have noticed that the Moderator lost his place in the script & Rubio had to ask himself his own question….A Faked & rehearsed role. The Establishment will learn a hard lesson down the road
Jebb is done.. he really got rattled when his mommy & brother were mentioned… What does he expect
the Democrats will say in their campaign against a BUSH…
Is there anyone left on earth that trump has not insulted? I think he hurt himself tonight.
Did I really hear “Jeb” crawl into mommy and daddies pocket ? over and over and over and over tonite ? What a total wanker ! If this is the kind of advice Jebby is taking from focus groups and “professional” handlers … just imagine the crap advice he would take if he were ever in the White House ? It is quite pathetic for the Republican establishment to STILL be trying to shove their LOSER puppet down our throats. He should have dropped out with Scott Walker. Anyone who has WASTED their money in donations to the Rep. National Committee should have their heads examined.
The only issue that matters is immigration. Everything else is all a crock of crap. The budget cannot be cut because Congress. The us economy is in a permanent recession. There only solution is to STOP the good dammed illegals. No other country in the world would tolerate this.
Here’s why I think Rubio is the one…

I haven’t seen or heard a Republican/Conservative speak like this since Reagan.
I’ve been saying, “Where is another Reagan, or a Thatcher, or Churchill just when America, AND the world, needs one so desperately.
Why was Reagan so remarkable and terrific?
Because he was, above all else, INSPIRATIONAL!
Watch that video. Two minutes into it, I called my wife in to listen. Thirty seconds later she was in tears. I personally am not into religion…and he even had me choked.
This is, IMHO, the guy America needs now more than ever.
Not some blowhard. Not some self-righteous ideologue. Not some arrogant, pompous wannabe. That crap gets tired real quick.
Watch the video.
Read it and weep

Gang of eight … Rubio was the “Hispanic” water boy for amnesty … THEN …. he found JEZUS. Right ……………..Rubio will give citizenship to the 20-50 million ILLEGALS squatting in America … AND … expand the H1-b Visas till every last American corporation has turned-over their entire workforce with CHEAP foreign labor. Yeah … Rubio and Bush … carrying the water for the corporations selling out your country. Go peddle your Rubio schtik to the audience planted to cheer for these LOSERS !
Agreed. Been a big fan of Trump, and still wish him luck.
But rubbing salt in the wound of Dubya was dangerous territory. For the mistakes that Dubya made, he was STILL a far better PREZ than the Marxist occupier. EVn Republicans that agree with the opinion that “Dubya made mistakes”, would be squirming at Trump’s ‘no holds barred’ attack on him tonight.
We will see what the primary vote says next.
Drudge poll:

Jeb is an extreme mamas boy, petulant sneering spoiled entitled rich boy. Couldn’t play ball worth a damn, but owned the bat and ball, picked by no one for a team, so he took his bat and ball and scurried back to mommy. Trump is in it to win, and for a change we are seeing someone on the conservative side play the same cards as the low life left, we are learning, to bad Harper had’nt been a little more forceful and we wouldn’t have ended up with lispering bimbo.
But will anyone of them listen to this?
https://chiefio.wordpress.com/2016/02/13/why-us-voters-are-angry-and-why-the-economy-is-stagnant/
Trump /Cruz or Carson 2016.
Rubio is the Hispanic water boy carrying for big corps and cheap labour, and Al in cranbrook is carrying water for Rubio.
Al if your “buddy” went from trump to Rubio in the debate he was never in the trump camp.
My prediction Trump by a landslide.
The big loser continues to be Jeb Bush.
The difference between Reagan and rubio is wisdom and experience.
So you believe bush lied about wmd? That they faked evidence? That al gore would have been a better POTUS? That gwb was to blame for 911?
Because trump does. And you support him.

… and the difference between Regan and Rubio is principle and integrity. I KNEW Ronald Reagan, Junior … and you’re NO Ronald Reagan … except for when Reagan made the MASSIVE mistake of granting amnesty to millions of illegal squatters in our country. In THAT … you and Reagan are quite similar.
Who do you guys think Trump will eventually pick as a VP candidate?
think doen the road Carly Fiorina will help Trump clinch the nomination and he will choose her as his VP candidate. She has been an absolute pitbull against HRC, is business minded like Trump, and will seal the deal with female voters. Okay, maybe not the shrill leftard HRC type, but they were a lost cause anyway.
I can’t see him picking Cruz. There is a burnt bridge behind them now. Carson might be a good foil for Trump as a polar opposite in the corporate world, but on the political arena, that won’t work. Carson is a nice guy, soft spoken, bright as hell, and I like him a lot. But he just doesn’t have it. Rubio and Bush are Establishment candidates, and I think at some point Trump might “make a deal”, but it won’t be Bush, no way in hell. Rubio might serve in that case I guess, but I think Fiorina is heaf and shoulders a better VP candidate for Trump as simply brings more to his table.
Kenji, and even then, didn’t Reagan admit that he made a mistake? I think it took a ton of guts to cop to it.
All that shows is that the left that watches abc prefers their guy ….Rubio a fake republican squish. An establishment with a silk tounge .
