This summary/analysis sounds as if it were written by a silly girl.
I must have watched a different debate as almost all of my opinions are at odds with this assessment.
But, to each his own.
Trump won 53% out of 600,000 polled on Drudge. It is a huge Trump victory.I saw karl Rove this morning in Faux and he really looked like he needed medical help.
Fiorina was “scrappy”? Side-kicks are scrappy. Presidential material is not.
“It occurred to me that Mike Huckabee could do a great service to his country by dropping out of the race and coaching Cruz on the common touch.”
Interesting idea. I like Cruz’ ideas (not all, but many) but he’s not an attractive personality or effective negotiator. I think there’d probably be many more in the legislature who’d support him if he could work out coalitions, but he doesn’t seem to be able to do that. Maybe a little coaching would help.
That said, I see him as Attorney General. He’d be fantastic at that.
Nice try, CNN.
Got the talking points down, and all you had to do was shuffle around some names to make it seem like you did it all yourself.
Sorry, but Cruz was completely overshadowed by all others. I was waiting for him to take charge, but the witch took it from the egomaniac. Bush looked moronic, as usual. Rubio had a good showing. Huckster looked better. Rest don’t matter.
Carly talks and talks and talks, and it doesn’t mean a damned thing. Everything she touches, she screws up.
Man, the GOPee is in full RINO Rubio/FioRINO mode, today, aren’t they?
Stupid.
While I agree with the two winners here, they both did a lot to boost themselves even though they have no shot, putting Trump in the loser category is wrong.
His miscue was the casino thing, he was dead on with the other stuff.
I cannot wait to see him dismantle Shrillary.
I agree with most of the overview. Although Trump wasn’t that bad.....he should have been put into the middle of the pack in my opinion.
Although I missed the last 3rd of the debate, what I saw of Fiorina's replies were impressive. Both my wife and I were surprised. She obviously deserved to be on that stage.

Biggest loser was Jeb! with his Dukakis/Bernard Shaw debate moment:
Jeb: Apologize to my wife!
Trump: No.
Jeb: Ok. Moving on to immigration then!
That way everybody who wants can get their "LETS ALL HATE TRUMP" fix as needed!
GEEEZ!!
Drudge Poll versus bs GOPe/ABCNNBCBS/COMPOST/NYSlimes:
TRUMP 52.31% (327,272 votes)
FIORINA 21.59% (135,095 votes)
RUBIO 6.38% (39,911 votes)

BUSH 1.23% (7,695 votes)
WALKER 0.77% (4,833 votes)
HUCKABEE 0.61% (3,808 votes)
The big winners: The Democrats.
Painful to say so, but this is a good summary.
Don’t care for Rubio and Fiorina, but they did well.
Cruz was cut off a lot...needs to be more assertive to finish his point.
Trump did better than the author notes, but she did capture his two low points.
Kasich needs to drop out.
“Trump grimaced and rolled his eyes, but offered no substantive rebuttal. Rubio has a nice way of dispensing with an opponent without sounding angry.”
TRUE. probably one of the few Freepers who pointed it out, even though I;m a semi fan of Trump but I give credit where it’s due: Rubio did an outstanding job on foreign policy which is
KILL TERRORISTS.
Trump I cant believe it fidget around the simple concept on killing terrorists. It’s NON NEGOTIABLE: destroy them. It;s like he didn’t give a sh*t about ISIS.
Some folks just never get it!!! I’ll tell you one who does not get it....Karl Rove!!! Trump rules...CNN, Salem Communications & the GOP (E) RINOs failed miserably. For those short on brains.....Check the activity in the Senate this morning by GOP(e) RINO leader, Mitch McConnell and his GOP RINO whimps.
Harry Reid,...the real Senate leader spanked him again. Now...if McConnell had the guts to invoke the “Nuclear Option”, we would have won....but, he is too busy being warm & cozy in Obama’s pocket!!! We gave the GOP (e) RINOs the Senate...thy gave us Harry Reid and Obama!!! That is why...”The Donald” looks like he is teflon!!! It is as simple as that...folks!!!
