One of the most candid moments during the debate last night happened when donald trump was asked about his donations to democratic politicians. i will tell you that our system is broken. i gave to many people. before this before two months ago, i was a businessman. i give to everybody. when they call i give. and you know what? when i need something from them two years later, three years later, i call them, they are there for me. that s a broken system. what did you get from hillary clinton and nancy pelosi? with hillary clinton, i said be at my wedding and she came to my wedding. you know why? she had no choice because i gave. trump, the only gop candidate with a self-financed campaign has donated over $1 million to dozens of politicians over the past three decades. now, the other nine politicians on the primetime stage last night are for the most part on the other side of that equation. so listing money from big-ticket donors like a trump for their ....

Welcome back. it goes without saying that last night s primetime debate got the lion s share of viewers, huge numbers. donald trump made the most headlines of the ten men on stage. turns out though the earlier debate for the other seven candidates also spotlighted a candidate who is getting a lot of bounce today, or a lot of notice i should say at least from her performance. carly fiorina. on day one in the oval office i would make two phone calls. the first one would be to my good friend b.b. netanyahu to reassure him we ll stand with israel. we have to undo a whole set of things that president obama has done to get at the heart of his disrespect and disregard for too many americans. here s the thing that i would ask donald trump in all seriousness. he is the party s front runner right now and good for him. since he has changed his mind on amnesty, on health care and on abortion i would just ask what are the principles by which he will govern. hillary clinton lies about ....

You. that s who i am. he s already hedging his bet on the clintons. donald trump, his face is so unusual compared to those other candidates. he s got the squint going, frowning most of the time. it s a face that would normally be offputting for the average person but somehow trump makes it work. the bar is even higher for me. that s fine. watching jeb bush in the beginning of the debate what was your major take on him? fascinating because he comes out saying i m my own man, but what he does is he tilts his head when he talks about his dad. i m proud of my dad and my brother. he s tilting his head to one side that gives up authority. that says you re in charge not me. if you think it s bad now, you should have seen it when i got there. so as christie leans in to the podium he s both saying i m getting comfortable here and i m creating more of a connection between me and the audience. and so i like those moves on his part. and i believe that that is an unborn child th ....

Candidates attack the front-runner. you would expect that. but we really didn t see most of the other candidates steve, going after donald trump. where do you think that is? well rand paul is in a position to build back some of his support after losing it over the last month. some of that was the fault of not his super pac, the super pac referred by rand paul. some was just attrition because of trump s role in the news cycle. dond trump has been vacuuming all voters to cast an outsider vote. that was rand paul s vote he hoped. that was ted cruz s vote he hoped. he aggressively went after that. he also realized going in that he was not going to get a ton of debate time. i don t know how he intuitively knew this but he made this strategic decision to start fights with donald trump because that was how he was going to get into the debate. ....

Question nobody sort of stepped in and said you know i think those comments are not things that you would think would come from a president of the united states. nobody did that. i would argue and be interesting to see what carly fiorina says to you, anderson but i would argue that if she had been on that stage that she would have found that pretty hard to resist. that you know those words coming from somebody who you are voting for who will be the person to decide whether you send your children to war, it s the most personal vote you make for president of the united states. i guarantee you that a woman standing there would have felt the need to actually say something about it. amanda what about that? do you think he has the temperament to be president of the united states? absolutely not. and his actions in the past 24 hours have prove that to be true. i mean we have to be able to win the womens vote. and just think, cnn did a poll last month before this debate ....
