Or what they prefer to call a "debate between Republican presidential candidates and a select crowd of supporters/donors.
It not so well orchestrated and the "elephant in the room" Donald Trump who was the only one not pandering was booed and hissed at by the "donors" (Johns, that is) for pointing out how the game was rigged by locking out Trumpsters from the audience.
Even though Trump skipped the last debate, some commentatorsnevertheless decided that he won. In bowing out, he garnered massive media attention, and he also avoided tough questions like those Cruz and Rubio fielded on their past immigration positions.
This debate, he showed up, and he had (what was for Trump) an unremarkable performance. He stuck to typical Trump talking points — on topics like China, job losses and America not winning anymore — and had few major tangles with his opponents. When he did argue with Jeb Bush on a question about eminent domain and subsequently commanded Bush to be "quiet" while he answered — the crowd booed Trump.
