First, Fox Business is a big winner. This debate is what all the other debates should have been. The questions were substantive, the candidates had time, and the moderators did not try to be the stars of the show. It was really well done and informative.
On the stage, Rubio and Cruz continued to shine. Cruz, again, did not get the most speaking time, but he made every word count. When Rand Paul seemed to get the better of Marco Rubio in an exchange on spending for defense, Cruz came back and devastated both. Cruz took on the ridiculous sugar subsidy, which Rubio supports, and used it as a way to beat Paul on isolationism.
If Cruz and Rubio tied, Fiorina came in after them. She had a commanding performance, to the point that Trump called her out for rudely interrupting.

Excellent. Thank you. I wish I had watched last night, but the moderators have been dominating the last three so much that I decided to skip it.
He was horrible.
Trump did interject when Kasich was bloviating. Maybe you missed it . . but when Kasich tried to speak over Jeb Bush (and it was clearly Bush’s question) . . Donald Trump said, “Let Jeb speak. Give Jeb a turn.” That is why Jeb thanked Trump for his response to Kasich. The Gender Card can’t be played this time.
I was SO irritated at Kasich that, at one exasperated point in his monotonous rhetoric, I told Hubby to hand me the gun . . I was ready to pull an ‘Elvis Presley’ on the tv. lol
John “My father was a mailman” Kasich was the absolute worst! Hard to believe he didn’t have the most speaking time, as he was constantly interrupting/following right on others’ heels to add his less-than-2 cents worth.
He was so bossy and arrogant.
I often catch the news of the day in the early-mid-afternoon on the radio.
Fox business has become my favorite. I like Lou Dobbs and Neil Cavuto.
I am therefore not surprised that they could pull off the fine debate last night.
At some point Trump, Cruz or Carson is going to have to call ISnarly out on hiding behind her skirt when she gets incoming and essentially use the line, you can’t hide behind your skirt with Putin or the Ayatollahs get nasty with you. When you put yourself in the arena and claim you are everyone’s equal then act like it when you get punched in the mouth boot face. This boil must be lanced because Hillihag will certainly try this tactic, she did in her senate campaigns/
I wish I COULD HAVE watched last night, but the tax jabber and the math so all over the place that I decided to skip it.
Shrinks call that "flat affect" .... it's supposed to be a bad sign if you see it a lot. I think it means the girl is totally in her head. </off Calspeak>
LOL -- "Snarly" .... I like it.
She's not a CEO any more. She's asking for something now, something pretty damn big.
There was no sneering during the debate by the moderators, but there was still obvious bias. MUCH better than there past ones, but you can see the bias cannot be totally covered up.
Trump was right, she did interrupt. And no, Rubio did not shine. He was more like a robot.
Kasich was awful and so was Jeb.
I thought Cruz had the best night, followed by Rubio. A and A-.
Fiorina turned in a solid B+, Carson a B.
Trump was a C, not because h edid mush wrong, although he tried to pick a couple of fights, but because he didn’t do anything exceptional. He was just sort of there.
I’d say Rand Paul got a C-. His little foreign policy riff hurt him. (Cruz was brilliant filling the space in between Paul and Rubio.)
I’d give Kasich and Bush F.
Yes, and she probably talks to herself.
I can’t think of any group of women that it would turn off.
Feminazis don’t want Carly, conservative women by and large do not like her. What group of women does that leave? Soccer mom’s? Is that even a thing anymore?!
“I can’t think of any group of women that it would turn off.

The majority of women certainly fall between feminazi and conservative. My girlfriend is conservative and she felt it was nasty. And she likes Carly a lot.
Don’t underestimate the number of women who would admire her rising to the CEO of a Fortune 50 company versus the phoniness of Hillary’s resume.
There’s still a lot of suburban soccer moms still out there (and a number are transitioning to lacrosse moms too!) who would support Fiorina if they value honesty, which many do.
I swear I do not know a single female who likes Carly. I’m sure they’re out there but to go crazy from a comment by Trump, is pretty damn weak and silly imho. If they view her as so strong, then surely they know a ‘comment’ isn’t going to reduce her to screaming sexism ala Hillary.
I will share that the young women I know, I’m talking the age group of young women in their 20’s, listen to Carly more than they do Cruz. He has a few things about him that just turn them off. I never underestimate the ‘youth vote’.
