November 10 Debate takeaways: candidate by candidate
American Thinker ^ | 11/11/2015 | By James Arlandson

Posted on 11/11/2015 4:26:19 PM PST by SeekAndFind

First, the moderators were unintrusive, so they were not part of the story. Therefore, an excellent job -- about as well as any moderators could do, and certainly better than most.

Let's take the candidates in alphabetical order.

Bush: I feel for him. His eyes seem anxious and overly polite, his smile unsure, and such is his demeanor. It's a pity, for his governorship in Florida was sound enough. But his campaign is slowly dying.

Carson: He was very strong this time, but he still comes across as uninformed and inexperienced outsider. People believe that Washington is the problem, but I submit that it is one man in Washington who's the problem: Obama. If Romney were president, there would be no problem as people describe it today. Thus, Carson's inexperience disqualifies him. He may win Iowa because of his genuine faith, but he won't last long after that. Yet his performance was sound enough to keep him in until Iowa and not disqualify him just yet.

Cruz: I have always admitted up front up front that I don’t like his messianic style and his cocked eyebrows -- much as Obama has. But he is intelligent and a great debater. He knows a lot about issues (unlike Carson). He only helped himself among his supporters and will likely make this a two-way race between Rubio and him. However, his "strong conservatism," as seen in his losing shutdown strategy, would cost the GOP in November 2016. Obama won Florida in 2012, and Rubio can take it from Hillary. So how can Cruz take the nomination from Rubio?

Fiorina: A strong, strong debater, but I can’t see this debate changing numbers. Her outsider status is hurting her. Sorry, but I believe that people will eventually wake up and look for Washington "insider" experience.

Blah, blah, blah. Kasich trounced Trump on how the US can’t deport illegal foreigners? Go be a democrat/socialist/marxist!

Democrats have opened our borders to all manner of horrific Third World violence, crime, and disease. The GOP has supported and endorsed this vile activity every single step of the way. Trump has tapped into the fury of the American people over the unrelenting anti-American NWO push of our paid employees in government. Trump could win this on this one issue alone. Americans are tired of being betrayed by their government on both sides of the aisle.

The ravings/hope of an elite GOPe brown-nose. I and many others choose to acknowledge this scenario——http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2015/11/11/tripwire-of-course-wall-street-wantsneeds-marco-rubio/-——— unless one can prove it’s a wrong synopsis, it becomes a very plausible scenario to many.

Arlandson thinks Trump not serious candidate and unworthy of White House.

Another inside GOPe plant writing this article, I don't know when the media, GOPe and talking heads are going to finally realize that this is OUR election, the Legal Voting American election....

These other people are not part of this, and those RINOs on stage and we all know who they are, are not getting to the Rainbow Hut....

This is OUR election and we will decide who WE want THIS time....

I scanned Arlandson’s pieces on Trump and Cruz.
I think his observations on Trump are valid, but believe his distaste for Cruz is too personal.

Of course I may be one of those hyper-conservatives he disdains, being a Cruz supporter.
