Republican debate: 5 things to watch
http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/25/politics/republican-debate-what-to-watch/

After wins in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada, (Trump) is confident heading into March 1,
when a slew of states, including Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia and Tennessee, will hold GOP contests.

(Cruz)his outlook has become increasingly dour after a loss in South Carolina that didn't portend well for his chances in states such as Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee and Oklahoma that -- like his home state -- will all vote Tuesday.

this debate should be even crazier with the establishment becoming more and more desperate

Rubio is such an airhead, I don't know how they expect him to pick up ground. I think Rubio and Trump will hammer Cruz all night with Rubio trying to avoid direct confrontation with Trump. I think Rubio's strategy now is probably to draft behind Trump and try to pick away at Cruz's support.

Rubio is smart he will not talk much it causes him to short circuit. CNN has already decided he will be winner of the debate. Someone should give Carson 5 Red Bulls, that might shake things up.

. . . Someone should give Carson 5 Red Bulls, that might shake things up.

For this one, did Ben get the playbook for "how to walk on stage" ?

I wonder if immigration will come up in Texas debate tonight ?

Barbara Bush looks wonderful. I have a lot of respect for her humor and graciousness. I think history will remember her kindly.

Not me, I turned tv off when Reinhold Richard "Reince" Priebus acknowledged Bush in the audience. I've been paying praise to the great white toilet bowl ever since. F'k Priebus and F'k Bush.

 

[euphemia]

I am watching. Just got home from work, so I'm a little bit behind. I'll catch up shortly.

Rubio keeps messing up with his silly shirts. Everyone else looks very good. Kasich's jacket could fit a little better.

Rubio v. Trump . . . Cruz quiet

Man I cannot stand Rubio.

 

[AuH20]

Trump just crushed those two. OMG!

What? There's someone up there other than Trump and Rubio?
