Ben Carson is quoting Joseph Stalin in his closing speech... he would have voted for Bernie.

I am sad that it is finished. Best entertainment I have had in a while. The only way it could have been better would have been watching it while drunk.

Senator mitch McConnell in 2005

"The Constitution of the United States is at stake. Article II, Section 2 clearly provides that the President, and the President alone, nominates judges."

What are the rules about delay? Are there any? Can they delay and delay (reject and reject) ... for almost a year?

Wow, this is great!

Trump really looks petulant and is falling apart! But I did like how he bashed Bush on Iraq/WMD. Brave indeed on that stage.

Kasich continues to talk sense. Actually advocates expansion of medicaid. Will obviously not get far ...

The immigration argument between Cruz and Rubio is hilarious!

Trump: "Planned Parenthood does wonderful things for women". Wow.

If he stays ahead after this debate, there's no explaining the Republican party!

Having watched the debate that Trump didn't attend, it is shocking to me how much more ridiculous the whole process is when he participates. He literally makes the whole room more stupid.

Trump was smart enough to know which party he would find an audience in.

Bernie had already stole his angle in the Dem nomination.
