Guys, was Christie ever a federal prosecutor?

He was the US Attorney for the State of New Jersey under G.W.

Now for the spin...

"Cruz and Bush have dominate nights, Paul's flailing campaign a distant memory"

Great showing for Rand.

I think Trump was lousy tonight, but I think the two biggest losers tonight were Bush and Carson, ESPECIALLY Carson. Bush will stay in because he has such a massive amount of money, but I wouldn't be surprised if Carson drops out before the Iowa caucus.

Careful that kind of talk was considered ridiculous about a month ago. hehe

Sarcasm?

Another poll...

LOL They didn't bother including Graham in this poll. It seems that Trump's bot campaign is alive on this poll as well, and that Slate likes Rubio a bit more than Drudge does. Rand is polling well in most of these online polls, not owning it, but hanging in 3rd and 4th place and being competitive against Cruz.

I don't care for Cruz's dramatic orations.

He sounds like a cross between an evangelist and a used car salesman.

Carly Fiorina is the loser. She always looks like she just ate chit when she speaks. Rand survived, although too much water drinking. No clear winner to me.

I think Carson will tank after this one.

I'm frustrated as hell that Trump is leading most of the polls going on right now. I don't think I'll ever understand how that could possibly happen. It's like humor alone is what attracts these "voters."

final tally from NPR:

Cruz: 15:58

Sarcasm?

Prediction

 

[squirl22]

I think Rand had a very good night. Carson not a good night, Cruz not so good, Kasich...talks too much, Fiorino not a good night, Christie a has been, Trump I thought had a bad night but apparently his backers still like him. Rubio and Bush just blah...no one really does it for me...except Rand.

 

[Jan2017]

Carly and Carson bad - Kasich and Christie nothing new - Trump's worst performance but he'll hang around still.
Cruz and Trump get boos.

 

[bronc_fan23]

All things considered, I doubt the needle moves all that due to this debate. Rubio could lose a few points, but I still think Cruz and Trump stay at the top for now in Iowa. Rubio backers on twitter seem to be jumping on Cruz flat out lying about rejecting amnesty, and pointing to something he said a couple years ago. Like I've said, any negative movement for Cruz can definitely a positive for Rand.

All, you can realistically hope for when it comes to Rand is an upward tick in the polls. Any momentum will help

Yep, it's a complete rehash of Herman Cain, minus the bimbo eruption. I had a guy gloating at me back in late 2011 that Herman Cain was kicking Ron Paul's ass (his Youtube handle was HermanCain2012Supporter I think). After Cain imploded and dropped out, this guy was so butt-hurt that he had a massive wallpaper on his Youtube page that read "America is being destroyed by stupid people" over and over like Bart Simpson writing what he will not do on the blackboard during detention. It was positively hilarious.

Please explain yourself Trump - waving your hand at the constitution.

The perception that is out there and Tromped had the chance but still can't explain himself about his internet plans - that is very lame Duhnald.

He did explain himself. He doesn't want to shut down the internet in the US, but in Syria, if necessary, where Isis is using it to coordinate and recruit. What he prefers is to monitor their internet activity better, there not here. The US constitution doesn't protect Syrians.

I don't trust for a second that Trump would protect privacy on the internet for US citizens, but he did not say that. Rand is the only one we can trust on this issue.
