Trump praised Gaddafi and Hussein at a GOP debate. For any other candidate would be covered as game-changing gaffe. Barely even noticed.

No you are being unfair here - Trump (+Cruz) merely made the realist case against regime change. Stick to poll averaging.

he didn't praise them. Come on. He said that removing them destabilized the region. Leaving them would've avoided ISIS...
Oh, it was probably noticed. Just not commented on. Not by the networks, moderators, journos or pundits.

He didn't exactly "praise," but his recurring skepticism of total war is worth noting, despite his xeophobia and B.S.

Likewise for Kasich's insinuation that he would assassinate a foreign head of state, which was completely ignored.
