I thought everyone did well, especially the moderators. What that means is, I still like who I liked and dislike who a disliked. BUT, I learned some stuff I didn’t know before. That means the biggest winner is the moderators. I think them. They point is to learn things, whether it be things about the candidates positions or the issues themselves.
I agree that the moderators did their job well. I don’t understand why Cavuto wanted to argue only with Cruz about the Bank America hypothetical. Cruz said he would let it fail. Then Cavuto went all lib and asked incredulously Really? You’d let all those small depositors lose all their assets?” And then wouldn’t allow a follow-up. The natural follow-up of course, is that the small depositors ARE protected by FDIC up to 200K. It is the hogs that get slaughtered.
Plus, Carson said about the same thing that it wouldn’t happen overnight. There are things you could do like let the depositors transfer solid assets to the strong second tier banks and institutions. Let the Goldmans eat their own.
This shows the wisdom of allowing at least 90-second response times in a “debate” like this.

As said in the article above, moderators can be losers, but they can’t be winners. Otherwise, they should be on the stage with the other candidates.
