I couldn't watch either one. Does anyone know if there is a way to view either debate in full? Also, what are your thoughts following them?
 
...I was not inspired or impressed...IMO, they all tied for last place.
 
It's way too many people. The ones with no chance need to bow out. Trump is at least entertaining. One of those Howard Stern what will he say next things.
 
ok, but is there any way to watch online after the fact?
 
Karly was the hands down winner of the JV game. Walker, Rubio, Cruz and Kasich did well in the evening. Trump is a buffoon. Carson is a nice guy but out of his element. Jeb held his own, Huck was a huckster, and Christie and Paul tried to out-trump each other.
 
...seem more like a lot of self serving posturing to me...very little actual "debating"...IMO.

Blame FNC for that. You can't have a 10-way debate...not in 2 hours. Format isn't the candidates fault...and they kept to the rules for the most part. As for self serving posturing...that's too cynical. There's gonna have to be a bit of resume citation because most people haven't actually researched these folks. That'll drop off over time. Plus, the questions from the mods were way too leading and long, almost forced these guys to waste time on background context.

...yeah, it was like a debutante ball coming out party.
 
Another problem is people like Megyn Kelly has no business moderating a debate. They think people are tuning in to see them.
 
I taped it and watched after yankee game. Unfortunately, too many candidates running at the moment but considering the numbers involved ran about as well as could be expected. 24 million watched which was the most for a cable show ever. Seemed like kelly had an agenda as one of reporters today said she told both wallace and bier beforehand in their pre debate meeting what she was going to say to trump and she expected him to come at her and not to step in for her that she would handle it. So it seems she was looking to make a name for herself as a badass but I think people watching saw right through her agenda including mess in the prior post. Of all the questions to ask trump that people were interested in regarding isis the economy etc her question was about how trump talks to women...yeeesh. Bier's opening question about making a pledge not to run as a third party was just as idiotic as if was going to be asked should have been saved for the end to get the candidates answering questions about actual topics of interest. Hillary, if anyone cares was taking selfies with kim kardashian last night and hobnobbing with the rest of that clan which has a total IQ of a walnut..
 
Drive by media loved Megyn. Meh! She was doing the prosecutor leading the witness schtick.

What's wrong with a simple question..."In 2016, is the nuclear triad necessary, can we afford it?"

"What do you think about the Iran deal?"

"How would you shrink govt....which agencies, timeline?"


This is not fucking hard.

Trump will just say whatever and is completely unfiltered. It's something you never see in politics. It's quite funny.

She was baiting Trump to no end. Right to the point where he literally had to ask her, "You don't like me do you?"
 
All the questions were phishing expeditions, Trump wasn't singled out other than being centerstage. If anything he singled himself out as bombastic, rambling and thin skinned.

This country is in serious trouble....I'd rather not watch Nero bloviate. This is real life, not reality TV.

So you mean getting Trump to look in the mirror & say....."YOU'RE FIRED" could not be a possibility?
 
I'd have called it an introduction rather than a debate but I enjoyed it. I thought Cruz, Carson, Rubio, and Huckabee wer good. Bush did fine (good governor here in Fla) but to me the surprise was Kasich., the man flew right into the pack well. Trump was what I expected, Christie and Paul I don't have mush time for. The Field will diminish but overall I think the Republicans will come up with a pretty good team.
 
None of them are going to win so it's pointless. The fools in this country will elect Hillary. Then when it turns into a disaster will all look at each other shocked.
 
Can't see clinton getting in with all her prior baggage not to mention the recent e mail server being investigated by the fbi. Best republican ticket is Kasich with rubio vp as must win ohio and florida to win the election the way electoral vote is set up. Repubs have a lot of good candidates this time and must make sure liberally biased "moderators" like fat candy crowley and george "let me pretend I'm not in the bag for hillary" stepanopoulos aren't let anywhere near a moderators mike this time. I would be happy with any of kasich, rubio, walker as the lead guy. christie would be good but just too bombastic like trump and rand paul is a nutjob. Hopefully half of the 17 drop out before the next debate.
 
Kasich is false conservative.... He gave the dems in his state what they wanted....doesn't have Walker's balls. Next election is more than swing states home field. That's establishment political thinking and its a loser.

The right candidate with pitch perfect message can be from the bluest state and win. Oh and the money....

You need to get outside of NY, lol! She's not going to win the dem nomination. Her big donors are coming out against the Iran deal, so she will too. Then guess what....FBI seizes her server and all the emails are suddenly found. She's toast, they are just waiting to get Biden or Kerry positioned to pick up her supporters because Sanders scares the shit out of the Progressives. They are all socialists....just Bernie wants to get there now and the profs are happy to stretch the decline out another 20 years.
 
I share your viewpoint on Clinton, good thing too, as much as I love this country I'd have to exit if that woman get elected. Billy Boy as 1st man what a joke.
