News Analysis: Some clear losers in first GOP debate, but the absent Trump emerges largely unscathed

LA Times  

Supporters of former President Trump hold signs outside the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee ahead of the Republican Party’s first presidential primary debate. Like a chorus line awaiting its leading man, eight Republican presidential hopefuls opened their first debate Wednesday night without the party’s main attraction, hoping to show they can solve a puzzle that has bewildered GOP politicians for eight years: how to get past Donald Trump. “We don’t need to bring in a rookie,” Pence said, the first of several times during the debate’s opening hour in which he focused on the 38-year-old entrepreneur, who has risen in recent polls. About a quarter of Republicans will vote for Trump no matter what, another quarter oppose him, and “you’ve got 50% in the middle that like Trump but are open to an alternative,” he said.
