JONAH GOLDBERG: “Obviously, I have my agreements and disagreements with everybody on the stage, but as a political matter I’m not sure any trend lines will change appreciably because of tonight. A lot depends on which clips and exchanges become the basis of TV chatter over the next few days. But one thing is clear, any hopes of destroying Trump on a debate stage are now dead.”

Adding, “I hate to say it,” Paul Mirengoff of Power Line also dubs yesterday “A good night for Donald Trump.”
