9:10 PM: Does Marco Rubio know what a lameduck President is?

9:13 PM: It’s genuinely comical to hear Republicans preach constitutional adherence and then insist on having the Senate not fulfill its explicit constitutional responsibilities.

9:15 PM: Cruz: “We’re not going to give up the Supreme Court for a generation.”

9:20 PM: So Rubio’s moment of courage and decision was voting against an authorization of force in a case where he’d been insisting on bombing for months. Got it.

9:29 PM: Dickerson really did a disservice to America but cutting off Trump’s attack on Bush’s fourth place finish in New Hampshire.

9:32 PM: That’s not a good quote for Trump.

9:33 PM: They need to escort everyone off stage but Trump and Bush and just finish this once and for all.

9:36 PM: Trump is going really, really long on the anti-Bush stuff. The thing to remember about South Carolina is that it’s a big military and ex-military state. But just as important it’s a very blue blood GOP. It’s always been big on the Bush ‘family’. I think this stuff works for Trump in nationally. But I’m not certain about South Carolina.

9:45 PM: Trump really knows how to just run out the clock.
