Ted Cruz
Actuallly...Peter Falk would have made a good POTUS!!!
“Donald Trump was amusing as always and seemed like a character actor”
The Prospective Candidate from new york did not amuse me at all...and in fact e seemed more like a BAD ACTOR..than a character actor
I” did not have Casino with that Man.. Jeb Bush.. not one time.. not ever”
The faster Carly talks, the faster her eyes move, quickly shifting every direction. At times they were almost spinning. I find it very distracting.
Well, thanks. I’m going with your assessment. Thanks for suffering the pain of watching so I didn’t have to.
Every time Cruz answered Kaisch’s stupid questions, he (Kaisch) shifted around a ton and looked nervous. It was quite entertaining.
There was no “Great Communicator” on stage.
Agree with your analysis, especially the word “Sour” to describe Fiorina. She probably had the best night of the group content-wise (a big improvement in her recognizable strengths) but she needs to stop sucking on lemons.
Cruz/Fiorina/Carson
Oh, and Yeb and Kasich will be gone by Halloween.
Most appealing - from a pure content perspective, I like Carly. She seemed very competent, knowledgeable with fact based responses and was a forceful speaker.
For me, Trump is too gruff, he doesn’t show me the kind of demeanor I’d like to see in my Commander in Chief. I know others disagree, just MHO.
Cruz was definitely the best.
Carly was hateful.
Trump was off... much better in the post-debate interview.
The rest were just boring.
While perhaps somewhat helpful (you see the candidates with each other and how they react or not with each other) this is the wrong format to really find out what the candidates think and will do - with specifics.
A real debate formate would throw out a problem or policy and then let the candidates talk about how they would address or deal with the issue. Perhaps have a time for follow-up - more like the first Obama/Romney debate (and “yes” I know there were only two people in that debate).
I am so hoping Cruz gets a chance to shine in the months ahead!
The best camera performances were huckabee then christe then rubio. But trump wins every debate as long as it is a cage match of everyone against trump.
You know I like Cruz but, I found Crispy to be quite fiery entertaining and I wish Ted would catch some of that New Jewesy madness.
I hate to say this, but Huckabee’s pointing out the duplicitous misapplication of “accommodation” was spot on. This issue should be front and center, because it centers on morality, the foundation of ALL issues.
no more debates ...FOX was rigged CNN was rigged......these debates are a joke the GOP doesnt want to solve any issuses just to get what they want co ntrol of who will be the nominee..........DO NOT SUPPORT THE GOP OR DONATE TO THEM....
To me the interesting thing will be the forthcoming polls taken in the first week or so
after the debate. They will give some indication how the public at large perceived the
performaces of each candidate. Now whether that percetion was from actually watching or
taking some other persons view of the debate will impact that perception.

Who cares what someone looks like? An attractive executioner does the same job as an ugly one.
“Ben Carson reminded me of blind David Patterson...”
Thank you for saying that...I’ve been trying to think all day where I saw that face before!
In terms of likeability, both Christie and Huckabee (who are retreads and have a lot of public government experience) turned out to be likeable, but while they both had an occasional good position, neither one of them struck me as presidential material and I would not be inclined to vote for them. I can see why they were good governors, but I think you have to have more than “likeability.”
Fiorina is likeable in the sense that you might like to sit down and talk with her about an issue and you feel you’d be treated with respect - but she wouldn’t be your buddy. She’s definitely an Iron Lady, which is not a bad thing. She has leadership presence but is not offensive or unfeminine (in contrast to Hillary). Remember that Thatcher saved England!
Rubio is likeable but in a way that seems too young. He’s an excellent speaker (I live in Florida and have seen him live) and has good ideas, but he doesn’t come across as strong enough. Strong doesn’t mean crude and abusive, but simply firm and determined. Maybe he’ll grow into it. I thought his immigration answer was very good, btw, because it is a problem that goes way beyond people slipping over the border and has to be dealt with at different levels.
So that’s my “personal likeability” score. There were others I liked for various positions, but they didn’t have a lot of leadership presence or were frankly unlikeable.
