are you going to watch? he said yeah, if they pile up on him, that s not going to be fair. they re jealous. i saw this with sarah palin, when the established media sat around saying oh, they did a terrible job. their supporters are so passionate. they re the best kind of political supporters because of their intensity. the trump supporters are very intense. they re not going to hold one debate where in their view the entire field ganged up against him. you re not going to see a dent in his numbers in the near term, but if he doesn t make it to the end, that will have started tonight. two points to be made here. first of all, we are the establishment. speak for yourself. i never want to we think of issues and we want a more sophisticated approach. we have possibly a different emotional reaction to this. on the other hand, this is the second phase of the campaign. the summer is the fun part where everybody does whatever they
museum. but the establishment pacem braced their establishmentism and they made the most of it. they are who they are. hillary clinton has not played a big role in this dpe bait tonight since they been talking about each other so much. but in the last few minutes before 10:00, chris christie brought her up. when chris christie says he wants to, use this word, prosecute her in that general election debate. here s a guy who has prosecutors closing in on him who uses this phrase, that he wants to prosecute hillary clinton in the debate. i agree with chuck and nicole that carly has had a great night in terms of getting herself up in front of everybody. the problem is, she s basically running an incredibly negative campaign. as far as i can tell, she has nothing positive to say. i don t actually blooe th lly b about her, but i don t think she s done as many favors as she could have.
want. and at some point, the watchers want more substance. you saw more substance tonight than in the previous debate. i thought for a long time chuck is right, he s going to fall off his chair, every time i think he s really screwed himself, up he goes again. i think nicole is also right, we re getting ready to make the turn here into serious issues where it matters. and whether it s right now or whether it s in november, it s going to happen before the first i do remember the party is split in two. the base the republican party vote is split in two. you have your establishment wing, which, by the way, you point out the audience is an invited guest. we did the last two ray dan degaits. debates. that s why they cheered carly when she trashed trump and why they didn t cheer trump at all. but half the party is against the establishment.
