9:16 PM: I think Rubio and Cruz have landed some punches on whatever the Polish worker thing is and the ridiculously crooked Trump University but so far at least, I don’t think it’s nearly enough. Trump is still totally dominating the conversation.
9:20 PM: Yep, totally dominating.
9:21 PM: I’m not sure the moderator is going to win this debate over polling methodology with Donald Trump – not with his core audience.
9:25 PM: It’s amazing that we’re having a debate about Justice Roberts “approving Obamacare.”
9:26 PM: I feel like Ted and Hugh’s Federalist Society-speak conversation here basically goes over the heads or under the concern of the great majority of voters watching.
9:30 PM: “Millions of women are helped by Planned Parenthood.” Moments like that are hard to fully quantify or place with Trump. Cervical or breast cancer surveillance, well, yeah. Good point! But basically unspeakable in Republican debate. So I mean, give Trump some credit. Zero reason to say that in a GOP debate. But there it is.
9:33 PM: What is Ben Carson saying?
9:34 PM: Let’s just say it. Rubio looks nervous and a little scared.
9:37 PM: Trump coasting so effortlessly that he’s doing an impromptu comedy routine.
9:38 PM: Not that it’s going to matter but where did Trump get the idea that allowing people to purchase insurance over state lines was part of Obamacare until the last minute and then it got pulled? I mean, what?
9:42 PM: There’s actual a real policy issue that Kasich is talking about now – having transparency about pricing and outcomes. And one of the things Obamacare does is surface more of that information. It’s a real issue.
