1. Cruz. Very solid. His debate training in college really shows.
2. Fiorina based on the clip they showed. She and Cruz would make a spectacular ticket blending political and business skills.
3. Walker.
4. Rubio.
5. Carson
6. Trump. I really didn’t like his cronyism answers. Really out me off. Strikes me as a lightweight on politics and international relations. Way too much of a loose cannon. Tremble answers about his companies bankruptcies. He could have explained how that is not bad, gives companies breathing room to reorganize, lenders take take measured and well researched risks, the wonder of capitalism is the market chooses winners and losers, not government. He REALLY blew that question.
7. Huckabee. I’m not thrilled about his record in Arkansas and his inconsistency on issues worries me.
8. Bush. I want to hate him because of the family dynasty thing and his stupid remarks about immigration, but I really like a lot of his accomplishments in FL and his good communication skills.
9. Can’t remember this guy. Who did I forget?
10. Christy.
11. Kasich. Many of his answers turned me off. I really dislike answers about humble beginnings except for those whose parents fled communism in Cuba. Those two have very important backgrounds that make them love freedom and liberty.
Although Brit Hume is not my favorite he made a factual comment, he referred to Kasich as “part time conservative” which was reflected in his answers. He is doing the compassionate conservative cheap.
