I missed the first half, have they given up on gay marriage? They were totally fired up about abortion still but I heard nothing about the gays.

Perry compared it to Dred Scott and said the Supreme Court ruling was a mistake

You read that correctly

It's literally whoever the GOP tells them to push as a frontrunner.

She could have collapsed on stage and still have been worshipped by Fox as the "winner". Everyone else got "THANKYOU GOVERNOR!" within 2 seconds of the bell, but Fiorina was allowed to go on, and on, and on. And on.

Yeah I guess you are right. She was pretty unknown compared to some of the other faces and held her own so maybe she gained the most from the debate., but Jindal getting second is odd.

Trump picking Fiorina as his running mate is going to be the most beautiful slaughter next summer when Bernie just shits all over the both of them.

From the party perspective Fiorina is best used as a weapon against Hillary, since she can savage her without worrying about it looking sexist etc.

The GOP is likely very desperate for a credible woman to stick on the ticket since the expiration date on that other one is about 7.5 years past due.

There's some accent there but its subtle. He was playing it up tonight.

There's been a very strong effort among the Very Serious People class to push Fiorina going back months now, it's really bizarre and obvious because she has absolutely zero grassroots support. Hugh Hewitt actually said that she had "huge momentum" in an interview with her because some GOP establishment hacks published some (probably paid) editorials praising her on some lovely news website, it's really pathetic to watch.

They were basically soft topics that everyone knew they would share the same opinion on with some very subtle differences. There weren't really hard topics beyond the opener and there was only a little bit of trying to keep them on topic when they went off track.
