I saw most, but not all, of the forum. I think that some did very well (e.g., Jindal). I think that some were weak (e.g., Bush). But I think that we need to remember that this is only a snippet of the bigger picture. Hopefully we aren’t going to pick a winner based solely on a sound bite or set of sound bites in a one night event. We need to look at their records.
Some are too moderate for my tastes (e.g., Christie, Pataki, Kasich). Some are too libertarian (e.g., Paul). Some are weasels (e.g., Graham). Some are temporary rock stars whose conservative bona fides may not stand close scrutiny (e.g., Fiorina, Trump). Some are good people who are just not ready for prime time (e.g., Carson). Some are establishment types unlikely to be conservative warriors once elected (e.g., Bush, Rubio). Some are ciphers who have some good and some not so good elements in their record, and may—or may not—turn out to be good Presidents (e.g. Walker, Perry, Huckabee).
I hope that we and the American people can treat this coming election with the seriousness and depth needed and not like a Beatles concert in which girls are throwing their underwear on the stage.
My top three remain Santorum, Cruz, and Jindal. I realize that not all agree with that assessment. My primary hope is that we get a conservative, especially a social conservative, elected in 2016.
Best wishes to all. Good night.
SO GOOD LUCK WITH HIM AS YOUR FIRST CHOICE..
I'll stick with Trump, Cruz and Carly....TRUMP has the Democrats and Liberals with their panties twisted and scared. JMO
and I believe Granny Benghazi aka Hillary Clinton will drop out because she and her handlers are screwing up royally and she is a LIAR, CROOK, AND IS RESPONSIBLE ALONG WITH HUSSEIN FOR FOUR AMERICANS IN BENGHAZI...
HUSSEIN IS GOING TO SEND IN UNCLE JOE TO STOP THE CLINTON WRECK...
We can all have our opinions but in the end it will be Voter Fraud that elects the next POTUS...unless TRUMP SCREWS THEM ALL UP...YIPPEE HOPE HE DOES...
