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

Agree with your assessments. I must say Rand did very well. When he talks smaller government and personal liberty he’s great, not so much when he whines. I’m a Trumpkin and impressed at how much he has grown. I believe he has the most presence on the stage, a natural leader. Ted is my #2 guy. When he speaks policy and about the corruptness of the government, he is great, but there’s something a bit too slick about him. Too many single mother stories and references to his dad and he’ll answer a question directly and then spend the next two minutes caveating it. Trump/Cruz would be my preferred ticket. Kasich needs to be drop kicked off the stage. Pompous. And Jeb is pathetic. He just needs to go.
