Don't forget the position of the candidates:

Our lord of the hair Donald Trump in the center of the stage, as he should be.

And with Jeb! right next to him, to ensure easy access if a brawl starts between them.

Seriously though, I can't wait to see Trump vs Jeb!, it's going to be amazing.:getin:

trump is either going to aggressively prepare for hewitt's questions, or aggressively not prepare. either way will make for more entertaining TV than anything on prime time broadcast network timeslots and upon that basis alone trump will remain competitive as a candidate. in summary: death to america. one love, y'all.

I think we might be in for a surprise, Trump kinda got blindsided on the "Quds vs Kurds" thing, and The Donald does not like to be blindsided. That incident might have gotten him to bone up on Foreign Policy more than he would have done otherwise.

A guy made a hologram version of Reagan, but the Romney campaign wouldn't let him show it at the 2012 RNC because they were afraid it would upstage Mitt.

They said he'd never run.
They said he'd never be taken seriously.
They said he'd flame out after dissing McCain.

We live in a post-sanity world now. I discount nothing. Nothing.

To be fair (twitch) to FOX News (shudder), you can hardly fault them for being conservative in a Republican primary debate, and they seemed relatively hostile to all the candidates

Yeah, I much preferred that debate to situations we had in, say, 2008 where Democrats would debate on Fox News or Republicans on MSNBC.

They should have just remade the Fury Road trailer with the candidates. Trump as Immortan Joe, hoarding all the voters, and Jeb as Max and Furiosirina as the secret weapon to try and take him down.

aNYWAY,
tHAT'S REALLY ALL THERE IS,
tO REPORT ON THE SUBJECT,
oF ME GETTING HURT,


Nobody's getting tased but there's this feeling like we might actually see someone throw a punch. Things have only gotten more vitriolic since the last debate, emotions running high, candidates desperate to reverse their slide in the polls and more than a few bottomfeeders have embraced the strategy of attacking Trump to get attention.

Jeb of all people seems oddly close to cracking, I want to see Trump mock him mercilessly until he makes the fatal mistake of trying to win a blustering insult fight with the twitter grand master.

Edit: VVVV Paul and Christie on opposite ends is a bit disappointing.

"That's what they all say!"
Trump should threaten to boycott the next debate unless the host lets the highest candidate in the polls decorate the stage. He might have a chance, the man is TV ratings gold.

Then watch as by the next debate, Carson surges and the new frontrunner makes the stage look like an OR, and Trump as the patient.
