Winners and losers of last nights republican debate, cnn political commentators amanda carpenter and ana navarro. jeb bush said about leadership, not debate performance. he said there are talkers and there are doers. lets be honest, communication is a big part of the job. rallying the country to your side, rallying congress to do what you want. it seems a little empty to dismiss debates as just performance. >> i agree with you. i think he needs to stop doing that. i think he needs to acknowledge...

Largely responsible for the first balanced budget in a generation. then he goes to ohio and takes care of an $8 billion gap. so hes really the guy who has everything to gain tonight. sounds like hes ready to come out swinging after laying low. so i wouldnt really look at this as the contest between carson and trump. i think it is an opportunity for some other serious folks. and again if carson isnt quite up to things on the economic issue, i dont think at all trump is the one who benefits. >> we...

He can in a phrase, im number one. >> i say to people, when they aways say, you love to mention the polls, nobody else does. i said, thats because theyre losing. theyre not stupid people. i have probably spent less than anybody else, and i have the highest poll numbers. so, instead of criticizing, i should be given credit for that. cnn did this really very expensive, very well-done poll. its only well done because i was leading by a lot. if it wasnt, i would say it wasnt. were winning everything...

They will or wont see after that colossal debacle last night. tv screens across the country went blue at the bottom of the fourth inning, fox calling it a rare, technical difficulty. >> we have lost, we have lost our picture. hi! we are having some technical difficulties. >> pretty tough moments for the sports commentators when they went down moments after the broadcast had been restored. viewers completely missed seeing one player at bat. just as much drama on the field, too. the royals winning...

Gun. but some conservative commentators seem to see a different hearing. are most of the media right that hillary emerged unscathed? >> well, i dont think the medias right. i think they used that word unscathed repeatedly. and the fact is, she, it brought up the new questions. there were 600 security requests. she basically said, well, no one came to me with those security requests. so what are we saying? is she a passive observer on this? >> are you saying the mainstream media are wrong? >> i t...

Drudge report and talk radio, and i am glad you put that laura ingraham clip. >> conservative talk radio does not like him. >> they think he is john boehner 2.0 and will bring about mass amnesty of illegal immigrants and there is a dividing line in the media on paul ryan. you get the picture, the republicans like him but on the radio it said they hate paul ryan because there is a divide in the media when it comes to republican party and on the talk radio right they have taken on the g.o.p. leade...

A lot of these stories. talk radio, im glad you played that clip that kind of encapsulates right wing talk. >> conservative talk radio does not like congressman ryan. >> they think ryan is john boehner 2.0. and they think he will bring in mass amnesty of illegal immigrants. theres a dividing line in the media on paul ryan, and its confusing. and i think thats because theres a divide right now in the media. and on the talk radio right, they had taken on the gop leadership. and every night they ge...
