I thought Cruz did a GREAT job in the debate.

In a weird way, Trump helped him, because I believe MANY people tuned in to see what Trump would have to say (and they were not disappointed—I hope they also saw how WallAss and Megyn went after him tooth and nail) and they got to hear Ted Cruz for perhaps the first time and he was good.

Dr. Carson aloes impressed me with his answers. They were measured and very good.

Kase-itch was a REAL RINO—blech—No want! His father was a mailman, dontcha know? Kinda like John F’n Kerry was in Vietnam...

JEB was the “Superman” of Floriduh. Did EVERYTHING. < / s > Not impressed, sorry. I don’t think many were either. He stutters and gets flustered. Must be a Bush thing. NOTE: I am a public speaker and do the same thing, so he has some of my sympathy/empathy here...

Crisp Crispy is a jackboot licker, no other way to say it. I would ask if he wants fries with those extra large jackboots, but we all know the answer—YES! FRIES WITH EVERYTHING!!!

Rand Paul beat Crispy up on the Bill of Rights, but he looked too pissed off—and a little bit kooky—throughout the night.

Huckleberry had some funny lines, but I’m not ready to vote for the Comedian of the United States, we already have a clown in the White House, thanks.

Some of Walker’s answers were also a little stuttered and flustered. I wasn’t overly impressed OR disappointed. He was “fair to midlin’”, as we say down Souf.

Rubio’s responses I thought were good. I just think as one of the youngest, he’s not ready yet, and has to do more penance for being in that Gang of Eight. AND, in his favor, he still got a lot less traffic tickets in 20 years than me.

I pretty much agree with your assessment, including the Rand Paul attitude mixed with Christy....neither of those guys came up good.

Megyn Kelly wants to be the new Cheryl Atkinson but she don’t have what it takes. She tried to look tough and specific but she only came off looking silly. Saying Trump called women sluts and other names in his lifetime...WELL WHAT MAN HAS NOT?

So okay maybe said generic male wasn’t running for President but come on....this nonsense of using something said in a person’s lifetime then everybody gasps and holds shocked hands to their face.....it gets old people, real old.

Ben Carson, considering the overall picture, would be my pick, were I a person from outer space just looking them all over, their demeanor, vocabulary, sense of intelligence and humor....yup....Ben Carson.

Jeb Bush....does anybody remember a damn thing he said during that debate?

Yeah Huckabee did okay and they all responded very well to the Planned Parenthood abomination, they get my respect for that.

As for Fox and what looked to be a hijacking of the debate from Donald Trump....I just think Fox was trying to show the world how fair they are, picking on a former contributor like The Donald.

To me they looked stupid and Megyn Kelly....the turd....she didn’t impress anyone.

Totally agree with your take on the 2nd debate. I went back and re-watched it. It was clear they( the moderators) were ignoring Cruz, but when he did speak, he was clear and very poised. Will watch MTP in a few minutes and see how it goes.
I will not watch anything on FOX again. Their agenda is now obvious.

One item that impressed me was Carly using the word “Democrat” when giving an answer to a question. She put blame on all of the Democrats.

I don’t know what it is but Republican candidates don’t seem able to use that word when talking about their opponents while Democrats continue calling Republicans extremists in every speech.

Cruz is without a doubt my number one pick.However, he needs to break away from the pack and so far he hasn't.Thankfully it's still early.
