Who are the winners and losers?

Didn't Ted Cruz use to be a Not Ready For Prime Time Player on SNL?

Huckabee is the most polished speaker.

Dr. Carson is certainly intelligent but acts too shy.

Donald was Donald. Shock factor already getting old.
 
It is sad that tonight is Jon Stewart's last night and we won't get to hear him just tear them a new one.
 
I thought the questions really tried to make Trump look bad.
I agree with Paul on many issues but I don't think his party will support him.
Carson looked feeble.
Not a Christie fan, but he was well prepared.
I've been following Walker closely. He has memorized canned answers which he repeats at every speech and appearance.
Very wooden
Huckabee seems angry a lot but I thought he did well tonight.
I can't possibly consider Bush or Clinton.
Rubio has worked to do to smooth out his delivery. And did he seriously say no abortion for rape and incest? Heinous
Kasich was top shelf in my opinion.
Of those on stage he is the only I think will attempt to unite people.
 
And I forgot about Walker wanting to let the mom die to save the baby. :mad:
 
On the post-debate shows: Fox's panel of voters overwhelming said Cruz and Huckabee dominated. CNN and MSNBC studio people thought Kasich was a phenom.
And I did too so he probably will be last among repubs.:)

The only one who has a real chance of defeating Hillary Clinton was not even on the stage, Carly Fiorina.

Carly who?

My point exactly ...

I was surprised at how bland bush was.

Walker also didn't do anything for me but I expected him to be boring. His answer on abortion was also terrible for a general election. He doesn't toe the line like...

Rubio. He is speaking to middle America in a strong way.

Pleasantly surprised by the moderators.

Please please please no more crowd reactions. Blah.

Carson was weak to me, especially early on.

Huckabee is...Huckabee.

I can't believe how bad rand Paul was. Christie destroyed him. Christie also was right about entitlements when talking to Huck.

Christie...I thought he did well but I don't see how that message wins in the R Party. Running to fix SS isn't a way to win the AARP primary.

Kasich was GWB. Jeb with a soul. It's funny that in an election with a Bush we have a candidate who does a more convincing impression of GWB than his own brother does. He looked better by comparison when you think about that. Also helped to have the home crowd.

Very interesting how little they talked about the economy. I wonder if we are setting up for an election where Rs focus on foreign policy and Ds focus on the economy and domestic policy.
 
Yeah can you tell Christie was there on 9/11??? Rand had to hold back the eye roll.

Trump couldn't answer the questions. I'm not sure where all of these people we saying it was bias. They all got personally referenced questions. Trump just never answered his.

I was impressed with Kasich. Rubio looks so dang nervous all the time.
 
Bush's strategy is to sit back and wait for Donald to implode - which he did - and make Jeb the frontrunner. It worked.

I was watching this as well. I thought Kasich and Rubio were far and away the most "presidential" and probably the most able to defeat Clinton. The Fox news panel didn't hardly mention either and we all over Cruz and Huckabee. The problem the Republican party has is simple, the candidates who win Republican primaries (radicals in my opinion) cannot win the general election.
