Dr. Carson: doesn't know economics, law, or government. Uses the word "stuff" when he doesn't know details. Clueless.

Rubio: they really went after him. Marco you are too immature to do your own family finances...bahaha.... But he stuffed Bush and came out looking credible. He is going to move up the polls. But everything he said was scripted.

Bush: is awful. warm kiss? Yuk.

Cruz: strong performance, but the gold standard? Come on man.

Kasich: shouldnt have showed his hand yesterday. Trump was ready for his attack.
Otherwise I like his message more than most.

Paul: is really relaxed. I like him.

Christie: fat, school yard bully.
Huck: go away
Carly: someone finally said out loud what a failure she was at HP. I really cant stand her face. It is really unpleasant.

When u can't answer questions blame the moderators or the media.

Dr Carson comes off as shockingly unqualified and unprepared yet that hasn't affected him to date.

Oh jeb. You can hear the donors moving to Rubio as we speak.
 
If you disagree with Carsons positions on the issues you shouldn't vote for him. He is not a slick talking politician though. Carson can answer a question about brain surgery and stammer and fumble the answer like he's clueless. Carson studies his words and speaks slowly....not a bad thing to me. I also think it is a positive that he isn't afraid to say he was wrong and after study has a new position now. He doesn't say he "evolved" or has "grown" he says he was wrong. He also is the most misquoted candidate in the field.

my criticism of Carson has nothing to do with his speaking patterns and everything to do with the fact that his answers are very weak to basic policy questions. He does not have the foreign policy or economic bona fides for the job. He isn't even prepared to be a member of congress.

Trump appears light years ahead of him which is saying something.

If you had the candidates fill out a multiple choice test about basic facts about the U.S. Government Carson would almost surely come in last. It's not that he's dumb. It's that he doesn't have experience and he hasn't done the basic homework that he should have done if he wanted to run
 
Now they want to meet to agree on the debates. Will this be the first time Cruz actually tries to work with someone?
 
They will never agree. There may not be many more. Or they have an outsiders debate and a politicians debate. Who knows what happens. It is just great theater.
 
I haven't heard anything so I don't know what you speak of but, if they were going to set guidelines like.....the questions have to be on a major issue (not fantasy football) or it can't ask one candidate to trash another, that should be positives.

The RNC chairman has already written a letter to the NBC telling they will not have their scheduled debate on their network in February. The presidents of ALL news outlets should tell them "take your ball and go home, WE don't want your whiny candidates on our network."

It will happen. It's just show for now.

Politico had a story on it I think.

No one is going to moderate a debate with a rule that you can't ask candidate a about candidate b. That's a huge reason why we have debates. And plenty of candidates don't want that sort of thing - they think they need opportunities to take shots at others, especially those beating them in the polls.

I'm sure it will, they need the debates waaay more the networks need to host them. The problem is they are trying to control who asks the questions and what they ask.

Don't forget Telemundo. If anyone wants to know how to destroy support from a group of voters they just need to look at how the Republicans have treated the Latino voters.

CNBC had record viewership that night. Every network will agree to whatever it takes to get that viewership.

Candidates don't need moderators to take shots at other candidates. Kasich jumped right in with that in his opening question about personal flaws.

That is most definitely not true.nbc, cbs, CNN, etc are not going to air something that doesn't meet basic standards of journalism. They have an incentive to reach a deal but not one to give in on every point.

The networks would band together against the rnc if the demands are too outrageous.

They want the telemundo debate more than they care if they have an msnbc debate.
