lmao at kelly saying republicans want to shrink government
lol Kasich hedging his bets on a vp run
Paul owned Christie, but then couldn't keep his mouth shut about the hug. Poor taste. Love how the candidates actually try to give substantive answers and get the buzzer.
Christie and Paul get in a pissing match, and Fox just lets it go.
Paul isn't having a good night
Why'd you think Jeb was terrible?
He came across for me as being nervous. I don't want my President to appear to be nervous.Originally Posted by Krgrecw
thank you weso1!

I think Rubio, Kasich, and Huckabee were winners tonight.
Jeb didn't do much to hurt himself tonight. Walker and Cruz didn't either.
I think Ben Carson is an intelligent man. I really liked his closing statement. However, he didn't sound tough or assertive enough for my liking. And yes, I also saw looking down at his notes as well. He needs to be stronger in his tone if he's going to be a serious candidate.
Wasn't very impressed with Christie and Paul. Rand Paul's eyeroll during the dust-up was childish, I thought.
Donald Trump was the biggest loser to me tonight. Too much snipping at the other candidates and moderators. And he also danced around the questions a lot. Especially when he was asked about his resorts filing for bankruptcy. Biggest non-answer from anyone tonight. I look for him to drop in the polls after tonight.

What was your opinion of Trump before tonight? I think your opinion of Carson was spot on.
thank you weso1!
[QUOTE=weso1;258171]Full admission, I haven't been a fan of Trump. But, I was going to give him a chance in this debate and see how he did. All he did tonight was verify in my mind why I didn't consider him presidential. The one liners and tough talk will only go so far.

[QUOTE=CrimsonCowboy;258173]He didn't appeal to me either. But I think tonight hell keep his 20%. That's a big issue for the republicans.
thank you weso1!
100% correct
nothing that has happened since that day changes this verdict in any way
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
in other words...a typical very poorly chosen one performance
but instead of tanking in the polls he rose...over and over
that kind of experience induces cognitive dissonance
different folks will react differently to that kind of experience
some get used to it and start defending and rationalizing it...even start describing it as some sort of "genius"
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Understandable but on paper the dude is the best choice. Being nervous in one debate shouldn't override his past deeds as governor.
I disagree. I think on paper Kasich and Walker are the best choices. Other than that I just don't believe Jeb can get over the Bush stigma. The Bush stigma is part of his resume. And I just think his position is bland. We need a guy who has some interesting ideas. I think Jeb Bush was huge loser tonight. And most would recognize I'm a huge pub homer. I won't vote for Bush in the next election. If Bush wins I'll vote for Johnson or Trump.
thank you weso1!
What has politics in America come to?
Kasich sounded far too reasonable to be up there.
buzz word competition.

indeed
a question that could be asked every day since
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
