Wow.

Wow. I am listening to this debate and the audience is acting like this is a WWE event - whistling, cat-calling. No wonder Trump has appeal (even if it's not to this audience).

It's interesting to listen to Rubio try to explain how he's going to end DACA but he's sympathetic to children raised illegally in this country from too early an age to have known anything else. While he's saying he's basically going to put them in an untenable position if he's elected.

It's also interesting listening to him talk about how his mother was an American who essentially lost a job as a maid to people like Trump hiring illegal immigrants. This would be the same person who has gotten a lot of mileage out of his immigrant story in his career. He's really big on legal versus illegal immigrants. The legal ones have rights, the illegal ones don't. How's he sympathetic, again?

Neither Cruz nor Rubio really sounded to me like they answered any of the direct questions about their relationship with Latino voters. Then again, nobody else really answered any of the direct questions about diversity, either. Oh, except for Rubio trying to make a soundbite claiming that Republicans were the party of diversity because they had two Cuban Americans and an African American on stage. Which wasn't an answer to anything.

Religious liberty does not mean what these people are saying it means. And they have clearly convinced a lot of people that it means what they think it means.

Apparently, Trump thinks everything is "terrific". Also, he "loves them". Later edit: he "respects" everybody.

Poor Kasich. He's sounding reasonable. He's doomed.

Obamacare has eliminated jobs? Gosh, thanks for that info, Mr. Rubio. Later edit: Mr. Cruz also states Obamacare has caused job losses.

Ha-ha, they tried to get a specific answer from Donald Trump. Awesome, this has turned into a school yard brawl between Trump and Rubio. And the current moderator is getting completely drowned out.

"It's easier to read the Dead Sea Scrolls than your hospital bill." Once again, Kasich says something reasonable (and pretty true). It'd also make a great sound bite, if anyone in the media was going to bother covering him. Poor Kasich.

Oo, Kasich wants to "reward" primary care doctors. Points to him.

Oo, Carson just dinged the moderators for giving more time to the three "real" candidates (my words). And Kasich just tried (and failed) to ding Cruz for getting extra time by bullying the moderator.

The moderators are not entirely in control of this thing, are they. Oh, good, we're back to the school yard brawling. Yes, do please shout over each other. Classy. Leadership. The very picture of.

Oo, Wolf Blitzer is well supplied with facts and numbers. As if anyone on that stage is going to deal with that.

Oh, well, this has been fun, but the bloviation and stridency and lack of actual answers has worn thin.
