Huckabee is gonna have a strong performance. He is probably the most personable of all 10 on stage. Trump will try to be lowkey. Bush will be milquetoast, he's playing the long game. Walker will be his usual piece of shyt self and try to convince people that their local kindergarten teachers are oppressing them. Carson will be dull. Rubio needs to play well or he risks getting washed out. Paul is supposed to stress his dovishness, which could work well at this stage. Cruz will probably spend most of the debate shining Trump's shoes. Christie will probably perform well. Kasich is doomed if he tries to focus on electability and deal making, which he apparently will.

Overall I think Carson gets marginalized after this debate, with most of his supporters heading for Huckabee. If Cruz performs well he could take a chunk as well. Baring some crazy ish(which is very possible) I don't think much else changes.

:popcorn3: this will be the first republican debate i will ever sit through. Trump could make this better than the Weak Will/Drake beef

You missed out in 2011-2012. I thought that fukkery was epic. These republicans are about to go in and destroy the little aura of reasonability that they have left. Who ever goes hardest on Trump will be Jeb's VP.

I think its the opposite. I think Carson is the more likeable compared to Huckabee and Carson has the most growth potential because he is still somewhat unknown. Kasich is far from doomed..he just got in the race and is already polling well.

Rubio is a crowd favorite. He's going to play it safe and get praised for it. Trump will try to be lowkey but if asked a tough question he will spazz and deflect. Kasich is doomed period.

Carson will get the Herman Cain treatment after the debate.

Huckabee is a preacher man. He can talk with a lot of force and knows his audience well. Carson is likable, but he speaks softly and he stops and starts. He doesn't come off as forceful or very strong. They're opposites in demeanor but they appeal to the same evangelical base. The winds of the day in the GOP seem to blowing in the favor of strong, forceful leaders, look at Trump.

Carson's name ID isn't strong partly due to his own inabilities to command attention. He says crazy shyt like Trump and Huckabee but he isn't entertaining enough to bring the people in, that's why he has lost support from people who want an anti-politician to Trump. I think his remaining base among the evangelical conservative base will fade as well once he is put up against guys like Huckabee and Cruz.

Kasich can't win the republican primary by running to the left of Jeb Bush. Giuliani and Huntsman both tried that moderate, electable shtick and failed badly. Jeb Bush has the establishment on lock and barring him doing some wild shyt that's not changing. There's no room for a guy who took part in any aspect of providing Obamacare in this primary. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you see Cruz or someone else go hard at him for expanding Medicaid.

Truth. In this election cycle, the loudest person wins.
