“They still have Trump winning....wow. Cruz should be first and Trump about 3rd or 4th tonight.” If you like robots and crazy people.

Trump - wins on points and the most natural speaker and most believable.
Cruz - makes some good points but loses on style and sounding like a stump speech at times.
Paul - making some good points, speaking naturally, not from a script.
Rubio - you'd like him if you like robots.
Carson - forgot he's even there. Fiorina - yawn.
Kasich - ludicrous candidate.
Bush - coming off as a nerd again, his time has passed.

Agree with assessment however, Rand Paul actually did better tonight than any other debate...much more relaxed. Trump seemed like his team told him to stay above the fray...I wonder if they have independent polling data that shows him up more than other polls do. Fiorina did well, Kasich and Bush I think are done and was Carson even there tonight?

I think that is a pretty good summation.

I had to miss some of the debate. But from what I saw, my take is very close to yours.
Trump: the most natural and believable, impressive
Carson: his usual sleepy self, not impressive
Cruz: lets just say I am prejudiced in his favor, overall he did well
Paul: I agree he made some good points and spoke well
Rubio: fake, bland,reminded me of one of those wind-up toys
Kasich: muddled
Jeb: the wimpiest
Fiorina: logical, did okay
