So here we go.
9:04 PM: Okay, so Trump owns the debate. Won’t pledge to support the nominee. Tells host yes he understands. And still gets a big round of applause. Curious how it plays. But I thought he did well not equivocating, just no, won’t make that pledge. No.
9:07 PM: Is it just me or did Carson seem nervous?
9:09 PM: “Maybe the bar is even higher for me” – line that will haunt Jeb.
9:11 PM: So much of this from Trump is just insanely offensive. But he knows his audience … With his answer to the “PC” question, totally owning the debate. Again, knows the audience.
9:13 PM: Watching Cruz’s answers brings home just how bad Trump’s entry has been for him.
9:21 PM: As a reasonable person, Kasich seems out of place on the stage.
