He totally dropped the ball on that softball minimum-wage question -- "We can't do it. We won't be able to compete." Sure, that's the right answer. But a guy with an economics degree from Wharton should have knocked it out of the park and pointed out that higher minimum wage creates higher unemployment, especially for unskilled workers.

I think you just need to take a deep breath, as I've seen you repeat this point at least twice. Trump was a bit slow with that first question, no doubt, but warmed up quite well thereafter. Trump is leading every online poll. Even if not scientific, I think we can safely say that the two top performers were Trump, then Cruz, followed by Rand, since Rand did well with the middle east questions.

Actually when Trump answered the minimum question with a no, and had not much more to add, I was thinking where is the rest of the answer...surely you have one. Questions like that were answered correctly by Carson...he personalized it.

Trump, an trained economist from Wharton, got bested by a neurosurgeon on one of the most basic economic questions. My pointing that out doesn't mean I need to take a deep breath.

The effect of a minimum wage law is something any undergraduate who's taken Micro 101 can explain. That question should have been gold for Donald.
