printFor your convenience, here are my tweets in real time of the 12th, GOP debate, in CORAL GABLES, at the University of Miami (3/10). Since so few networks respect the written word, let us thank CNN for providing a transcript. For the first time, I’m comfortable saying Mr. Trump won the debate. He had never done so before.
UPDATE (3/11):
CNN debate coach sets parameters of 'good' debate, fails #Trump for departing/differing: https://t.co/2uRtYONFnf

#RealDonaldTrump is the only candidate willing to quit lying about Islam's nature & come up with policies to defend against it. #GOPDebate
