8. No dem debates

I think we are sunk. And the DNC is to blame. We may not recover for a decade or more once the GOP takes all three branches. I'm depressed

9. Has Trump bought off every pollster?

As crazy as the Republican Party has become, I continue to be mystified by Trump's popularity.

Trump at nearly 60%, while Kasich sits at 1.2%? Trump certainly didn't seem to dominate tonight the way he did in the first debate, and he got called out fairly successfully--or so I thought. Meanwhile, the relatively sane governor of a key swing state (2nd in importance to Florida) has a seemingly solid outing.

It just confirms what I said in another thread. I honestly don't have any idea how the average Republican would answer the question of who won the debate, as I don't have access to a brain that works the same way. Maybe Fiorina. Maybe Carson. Hell, maybe even Trump, though it seems he got slapped around pretty good tonight.

Mainstream candidates, especially Bush, seem to be totally thrown off by the presence of and seeming success of Trump. Trump says something outrageously rude or false (or both), Bush responds, Trump denies and insults, they go back and forth a bit, and in the end it seems like the audience is on Trump's side. It serves those mainstream candidates right, because they've established a climate in which extremism and utter nonsense can take hold. I might add that the Democrats are complicit, as well, in that they haven't voiced a strong enough opposition over the years.

10. yep

They have been so de sensitized to the crap that coms out of the the crazies that Trump BLOVIATES ETC AND THEY LOVE HIM FOR IT NO MATTER WHAT... We underestimate him/them at our own risk

11. You're assuming the republican base doesn't like racist blowhards

I think that's a bad assumption.

[Garrett78]

12. No. The Repugnant base has long been dominated by bigots.

So, I'm certainly not making that assumption. Trump's comment about undocumented individuals being rapists was more overtly racist than the sort of stuff you hear from mainstream candidates, and his various comments about women are more overtly misogynistic, and I get that Repugnants like how he bashes what he calls political correctness (and others of us call common decency).

But none of that was terribly relevant to tonight's debate. Perhaps, though, many who voted in the poll didn't actually watch the debate. Or maybe they simply don't care about the specifics of a particular debate. Or maybe there are shenanigans at play in this poll, such as someone using software to hack the poll. I don't know. I'm just a bit surprised that so many would think Donald trumped everyone else.

I just looked and Trump is up to 61.3%.

13. He's going up.
