Trump Takes Hits From Conservatives on Debate Debacle

"Trump brought 20 minutes of material to a 90 minute show." ~Stuart Stevens

"After the first 15 minutes, Trump didn't take advantage of his ability to box Clinton in as a defender of the status quo … I'm not positive Hillary actually won the debate. But I'm sure Trump lost it. He choked." ~Bill Kristol

"Dammit people. Marco would be mopping the floor with Clinton. Ted would. Jeb would. But this?!" ~Erick Erickson

"After the first fifteen-twenty minutes, it was like the SS Trump hit the iceberg, then backed up and hit it again just because." ~David French

"The last two thirds of this debate has been an unmitigated disaster for Trump." ~John Weaver

Marco, Ted and Jeb would not have shot themselves in the foot as often but she would have cleaned their clocks also.

Hillary is not status quo. Until now, she has always been mostly carrying water for others. She has ideas of her own and they are great.

The status quo? Now an old fat white guy with a giant ego and more money than common sense - that we have seen plenty of times before.

They were all awful against each other.

Marco Roboto, Jebsclamationpoint, and Greeneggsand Cruz were as effective as bags of sand, rocks, and shit.

These guys built Trump's base. Just because the want to be The Disownersip Society doesn't absolve them of what they've made their real legacy.
