http://www.cnbc.com/voting/ go vote Rand now "who won the debate?"

Rand between 4th and 5th

Voted

Rand has been listed last in every single poll this evening.

...it's not ranked by polling results.

...it's not ranked alphabetically.

Quite the coincidence, eh?

These two people with jowls, Kudlow and the blonde woman, ignoring Rand as they shake their jowls to praise "the two senators, Cruz and Rubio" are annoying.

I put baseball on. Could not stomach watching any of the BS afterwards, but reading about it is just as bad. LOL

 

[staerker]

Just remember:

The entire US government is bought.

The entire cable media system is bought.

Liberty cannot win on their playing field. What did you guys expect?

I disagree with the feasibility of Rand's route, but he has my respect for trying.

 

[Cutlerzzz]

Rand really did nothing to standout tonight. He was given few questions, didn't interject himself in the debate much, remained soft spoken, and did not say anything to really catch attention or differentiate himself. He just isn't partisan or boorish enough right now. He also didn't say anything to damage himself.

His only chance is still basically getting a bump at the right time while the right people collapse.

 

[KingNothing]

Oh.....the talking heads are saying Rand failed. Must be true.

I love that they even think it is reasonable to evaluate for us what we just saw with our own eyes. Imagine the audacity that takes? That the media does this shows how absurd this farce we call political news really is.

This is an online link . . . and Fox is on with Hannity called it a bad debate.

Approximate live polling right now:

Trump, Carson, Cruz, Rubio/Paul, Christie, Fiorina/Kasich, Huck, Bush

 

[Jackie Moon]

Paul wasn't boring, passive, or lacking in energy. He was a freaking adult.

Agree with that.

The whole debate was a mess, the moderators and the questions were horrible. But Rand came off above it and handled himself well.

He didn't blow it and he should continue on his upward momentum that he's had going. Others will go up and down and show that it's still wide open.

Plus we get to do it again in a couple weeks.

Oh.....the talking heads are saying Rand failed. Must be true.

If the point of the debate was to appeal to people NOT on this forum, they are 100% correct.

 

[rprprs]

Rubio and Cruz up

Fiorina same

Rand....who is Rand

Carson and Trump down

I will agree, except that I'll add Christie to the up group (ever so slightly).

Every time he spoke, he spoke confidently an eloquently. He made great, nuanced, thoughtful points. What more do you want? Do you want him to jump around like an asshole, tripping over himself to get an extra word in?

Whether people agree or disagree with the policy I think Rand talking about raising the SS age may push his numbers down.

 

[01000110]

Trump is at 44% in that damn CNBC poll. Good grief. What a joke.

 

[KingNothing]

Approximate live polling right now:

Trump, Carson, Cruz, Rubio/Paul, Christie, Fiorina/Kasich, Huck, Bush

Whomever people like at the moment is who they will say won the debate, so long as their candidate doesn't get abused and no one says something surprisingly awesome.

We're in 5th right now. Bush, Huck, Kasich, and Fiorina are all falling apart.

 

[hardrightedge]

Rand can be an adult when he gets to the white house...he needs
to dumb it down for the remainder of his campaign...

 

[KingNothing]

Whether people agree or disagree with the policy I think Rand talking about raising the SS age may push his numbers down.

Then so be it. He's right for saying it. He's right for being a goddam adult and proposing real solutions to real problems. If the voters hate him for it, fuck us. We deserve to go bankrupt.

Well, yeah, we live in a reality tv nation where the only thing that matters is getting in the best zinger.
