Yes, I watched. I’m not sure why I do that to myself. Anyhoo:
Why is John Kaisich still on the stage?
Jeb Bush perked up a little bit this time. Not sure it helped him much.
The questions this time were policy oriented and not media “gotchas”. And Trump didn’t seem to deal with details and complex issues. He kind of kept his mouth shot.
Fiorina did well. Unfortunately, like last time, you won’t hear a peep about her until the next debate.
Cruz nailed it on the issue of immigration. The line about “if journalists were crossing the border” was a nice zinger.
Rubio did pretty well but lost in his tangle with Rand. Of course, Rand beclowned Trump by pointing out the TPP had fuck all to do with China.
Seriously, why is John Kaisich still on the stage?
Ben Carson seems to have gained a bump in confidence and popularity after the media repeatedly lied about him.
And my guy, Rand, seemed to have the best performance he’d ever had. Going after the hawkish military spending, climate change, and the feds. And he had a great line: If you want less income inequality, move to a city with a Republican mayor
