It certainly started that way but didn't last. I think martin is right here. I don't know that DJT will take a big hit but the others will gain steam.
And when Google did their thing last night on who was the most talked about person in America who was it? Trump. He didn't have to do it. He still won without even being there.
You guys realize that by Trump not showing up it forced the rest of the debaters to target Trump's biggest competition at the moment, Cruz and he had his worst debate yet. Trump wins.
