Nobody won the debate...There wasn't enough of a debate for any one to win...
Look at the ridiculous questions doled out...'Should Rubio quit the Senate??? Does Trump see himself as a cartoon character??? How's Jeb's fantasy football team doing???'
The fact is, most of them did real well with what they were given to work with...
In my view, there were however a few clear losers...Bush, absolutely lost...Carson definitely lost...And Kasich is stuck on balancing the Ohio budget...He lost as well...The rest did great...
I agree. Great analysis!
Regarding your analysis, I must be a "me-too Republican" after all. I found Paul a little lackluster too, probably his Kentuckianism.
Carson did disappoint; I think he’ll fade pretty fast from here. Bush just can’t find a coherent, credible message and fails to impress personally and is going to find it hard to raise money from here. He can’t last. Kasich has delusions of grandeur and ought to be on the stage with George Pataki and Lindsey Graham. I think that Trump just offered more of the same and didn’t help himself at all. He proved that you can do quite a bit with a 500 word vocabulary, but not much more. Fiorina and Christie did better than I thought they would going in and I think they helped themselves a bit, but they’re still not going any where long term.
The big losers: the moderators. Their sneering and superior demeanor to say nothing of the ridiculous questions were a clear indictment of the entire mainstream media. I think it was Rubio who made the point that the MSM is one huge unpaid SuperPAC for the Democrats. How true.
I’d like to see a debate hosted by Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh and Mark Stein.
