So Drumpf is taking a lower, more "presidential" tone tonight. In so doing, he is reduced to . . . .

[Stinky The Clown]

. . . . word salad of nearly the same world class quality of Caribou Barbie.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Maybe they've all been sedated.

[JFKDem62]

6. Yes they must have bought Valium by the truck load. nt

[spanone]

2. i turned it on for ten minutes and had to go to the emergency room

i lost every brain cell in my cranium in a mere ten minutes....

i hope they can help.

[malaise]

40. I did not watch it at all

They are vexations to my being.

When I turned on CNN a few minutes ago I heard that Priebus said any ReTHUGis better than Clinton or Sanders.
I almost crawled back under the covers

[spanone]

41. he's whistling past the graveyard

[malaise]

42. The ReTHUG graveside

and that is good

[JFKDem62]

3. The new Trumpster is so bland. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. He'll disappoint his lunatic fans

if he doesn't say something disgusting.

[JFKDem62]

9. He's disappointing me. The Wild Man routine was much more entertaining.

Scary as hell, but entertaining.

His lunatic fans are not cheering like crazy for him tonight.

[arcane1]

28. He'll disappoint the networks too. n/t

[JFKDem62]

36. The network executives must be doing an Elvis and shooting out their TV screens. nt

[Angel Martin]

43. The network executives must be doing an Elvis and shooting out their TV screens.

If they want ratings, maybe they should cover those executives.

[Person 2713]

4. Did he imply Carson would be sec of education in his cabinet?

It was so scrambled I couldn't understand if that was what he said

Rubio on the other hand was clear as day:" my parents came here on a family sponsorship but I don't want anyone else to do that now"

[JFKDem62]

7. I can't follow him either now that he is sedated. :(

[Person 2713]

12. He was with Carson said they talked for over an hour just on education alone

Carson has a prescription pad too
Rubio is not so speedy either
Is this the new improved Republican debate?
Maybe it's just too many debates and they are all tired . Debating is hard

[JFKDem62]

14. Somebody sat them all down and gave them an ultimatum.

Play nice. Or else.

Then Carson gave them all of his office drug samples.

[Peregrine Took]

5. Unfair the Dems had to have such an over the top Univision debate

and these mopes get the timid threesome.

[Renew Deal]

10. They're going with a different strategy of not attacking each other

Up until now at least. Everyone that's attacked gets to respond, so when they all attack Trump, he gets to speak all night.

[JFKDem62]

11. That explains why he isn't getting much air time tonight.

[Gregorian]

13. It was high quality gibberish. I was literally thinking of transcribing what I heard.

It was humorous if not coming from a terrifying monster. Absolute gibberish.

[awoke_in_2003]

39. Authentic frontier gibberish. nt

[mainstreetonce]

15. They are avoiding using Trump's name so he doesn't get time.

Silly

[TheCowsCameHome]

16. Trump looks tired.

I'm tired of looking at Trump.

[JFKDem62]

20. Frankentrump's battery is low tonight. nt

[Demonaut]

17. when he speaks it makes me insane........."the stupid, it hurts"

[JFKDem62]

18. Kasich just used a big fancy french word. He gets two points for that.

A good word, rapprochement.
For a man with limited intellectual functioning, not bad.

[dixiegrrrrl]

19. They are debating again??????

I have seen tv series that don't last this long.

[TheCowsCameHome]

24. Well, they are master debaters

[lindysalsagal]

32. Have not been masters of their domains.

At least as far as I can tell.

Their fans have no ears for this: they only understand cream pies in the face and 2x4's over the head.

This is all big words, like the teacher on Peanuts. Blah blah blah...

[JFKDem62]

21. Trump doesn't even have energy tonight when he is talking about torturing women and children.

That is one of his favorite topics.
He has lost his joy.

[underpants]

22. He is speaking pure nonsense. Asked about Soc. Sec he turns to the military

He has referenced the military 3 times for no apparent reason other than pandering.

[JFKDem62]

23. Kasich, Rubio and Cruz all going policy wonk.

Makes Trumpster look uninformed.

Instead of coming to blows they are dumping policy manuals and a dictionary at the Trumpster.

The GOP clown car circus got very boring tonight.

[annabanana]

25. TV will say they "looked more Presidential" tonight. . . n/t

[JFKDem62]

27. Yep. The media will be fawning with accolades.

The dysfunctional clown car must have seen Dr. Phil.
All wonderful and civil now.

[JFKDem62]

26. It is the Rubio show tonight.

He has been totally transformed now into focus group appropriate.

[JFKDem62]

31. Cruz a close second.

Then Kasich.

[Demonaut]

29. uh oh...Cruz mentioned Drumpf......free the kraken!

[JohnnyLib2]

30. But, but Trump is THE BEST at being calm and "presidential."

Just tremendous.

[JFKDem62]

33. He's so good at it he crossed over into bland. nt

[JFKDem62]

34. Kasich sounding like Trump. Gonna kick Putin *ss.

Geesh.

[lunasun]

35. Trump - Putin= Strong + tiananmen square =Meh

and said it in a FL debate

[Tommy_Carcetti]

37. He's going back to the "very passionate" people who beat people up in his name.

You know, they "love their country."

And the protesters are "bad dudes".

[Mira]

38. True. What's missing though

is her feigned passion, and she is a better visual. Therefore these clowns (excuse the expression) are putting me to sleep tonight
