nice graphic:
Red means self-important turd. In first place we have the Huckster, followed by Kasich and Jeb. In the middle tier we have Rubio, Carson and Cruz all trying to make a name for themselves. Trump and Christie were both able to cut off the monologues and Walker and Paul were comparatively quiet. It doesn't mean the latter are the right candidates but they seemed to both have a concise vision. Same with Christie, some very specific policy statements. Trump is the outlier and that's as it should be. It's very early and we need Trump to say what needs to be said.
