"The only thing they proved is that none of them are remotely qualified to lead a country." -- Commentator.

COMMENTS: 
*  ... Donald Trump is the political monster created from spare parts of Fox News, the GOP and the GOP base. It's escaped and no one knows how to restrain it.  It will be a dark day for America if it ever becomes president.
*  ... The debate lacked presidential quality. Two desperate contenders involved in a screaming match like childre on a playground. Rubio with his pre-rehearsed one liners and well place chorus in the audience the other a lying non-stop. The democrats are the only ones who have serious presidential debates that acutally inform the voting public.
*  Trump lies and acts like a bully, too. All the GOP candidates are liars. None of them are presidential. None of them are worthy to hold the office of POTUS.
*  What does trump say he's going to do? He just says what and who he hates and throws out buzzlines like "let's make america great again." I've never heard him say any tangible policy that he plans on implementing, other than building an impractical wall that apparently will solve all our problems
*  Wolf Blitzer did not help CNN's cause last night. He looked and acted like a substitute teacher in a raucas classroom.
    *  A classroom full of hateful, spiteful, xenophobic, fear-mongering adults who behave like spoiled, petulant children.
*  2016 GOP autopsy report: Death by self-inflicted wounds.
*  Not one of them were discussing the country and its needs, it was all fighting and name calling. The only thing they proved is that none of them are remotely qualified to lead a country. Though they might do well on a playground. If the mothers aren't there to chastize them for bullying each other.

Who Won the Republican Debate? Democrats.
By Brian Hanley, February 26, 2016

Thursday night's Republican debate reached circus levels of absurdity. Wolf Blitzer lost control. Donald Trump took over. Marco Rubio dripped in sweat. Ted Cruz looked lost at home. Ben Carson seldom spoke but produced the wittiest zinger of the night. "Can someone attack me please," he begged, in an effort to be noticed amidst the massacre.

Winners

1. Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama

Tonight's debate was an intra-party feud. While the Democrats all came up, there wasn't much time spent critiquing them. Instead, Rubio took on Trump and Trump made fun of him then Cruz took on Trump and Trump made fun of him.

2. Donald Trump

If you've read my work, you know that I don't say this with any pleasure: Trump was the clear winner of tonight's debate. After dominating in three straight states, the nomination is Trump's to lose and tonight, he remained in control.

3. John Kasich

Kasich stood up to the immigration Nazis, contending that it's unrealistic to deport millions of people who call this country home. It's neither practical nor American. In doing so, Kasich stood out as a decent alternative to his less positive counterparts. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Trump looked to him for the VP spot.

4. Ben Carson

Ben Carson had easily the funniest moment of the night when he begged to be attacked. It was a brilliant response to a debate that fed nearly every question to the frontrunner.

Losers

1. Wolf Blitzer

Wolf Blitzer looked like a small dog walker walking a large Great Dane, but to make matters worse, that Great Dane was involved in all-out warfare with a Rottweiler from Texas and Pit bull from Florida.

2. Ted Cruz

Ted Cruz had home-field advantage tonight, but failed to slay the Donald in Texas, where Trump is currently giving Cruz a run for his money. The two no doubt exchanged blows tonight, but Trump made contact more cleanly and more frequently.

3. Marco Rubio

Trump belittled Rubio for most of the night. He called Rubio a "choke artist," asserting that the Senator melted under Chris Christie's prosecution. However, Rubio had his moments. He swung back, insisting that Trump would hire illegal immigrants to build the infamous wall. The crowd went wild when Rubio stood up to Trump.

In sum, Rubio needed a bigger night than he had. There aren't many, if any states, that Rubio is projected to win, Florida included. He didn't have the breakout performance he needed to defeat Trump, and neither did the local, Ted Cruz.
