    That was one of the worst meltdowns in a debate I have ever seen. What was the headline I saw? "Marco-bot Malfunctions." So much for Marcomentum.

    Christie was excellent.

    Go Bernie!

    That was a lot of fun. Republicans have provided some excellent entertainment this year.

    Obviously, you're not old enough to remember the Kennedy-Nixon debate. That was a literal meltdown, with rivulets of sweat running down Nixon's face.

    Bernie is old enough that he probably worked in the Kennedy campaign.

    Jimmy Carter vs. Reagan

    http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/1996/debates/history/1980/index.shtml

    Carter performed adequately, but made at least one major tactical error by ending a serious discussion on nuclear weapons with the statement, "I had a discussion with my daughter, Amy, the other day, before I came here, to ask her what the most important issue was ..." Most thought the attempt to humanize the issue, and put it in the context of future generations, simply didn't work, and thought it bizarre.

    So, I guess Rubio's 3-2-1 strategy didn't work out so well. How about 3-5-7 instead?

    It's kinda being ignored, but trump won huge with only 35% of the vote. If everyone but say...kasich dropped out, kasich would have got 60% I'd guess. Trump has no chance one on one with any of these clowns, but the longer they split the establishment vote, the more powerful he becomes.

    It's not clear that every voter would flock to the other candidate. If half do, Trump gets 55%.

    There's been some polling on 'who is your second choice' and 'would you consider voting for X'. Trump doesn't have much interest from those who aren't already voting for him.

    Of course, the polls could be wrong or outdated.

    Where'd you see that Clinton got 15 NH delegates? I read that she got 9.
