So far some action worth watching.

Mr. Trump is going to get beat up by everyone tomorrow.

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

It was fun watching the gloves come off between Paul and Christie.

Thought Walker came across better than I thought he would - though I must admit I missed a bunch of this upfront. Bush really seems like he's not in good form for this. I thought Christie did well on Social Security - but again, I'm new to viewing the debate - just go home a bit ago.

Bush is *never* in good form. He always looks like it's the first time someone has asked the question, and he fumbles and fumbles. That's not to say he's incompetent, but to say that this is not how you "win" debates.

There has been a lot of fun.

Pretty much everyone from Fox news seems to have fallen in love with Ms. Fiorina.

Just tuned in for the Bush-Trump name calling exchange. Well handled by both. Kasich handled a stupid question very well.

Cruz seemed left out - but maybe he got more attention before I watched. Dr. Carson did well considering he stands no chance. I think he's there to broaden the tent more than win this.

That was the best one-liner of the night. :thumb:

Yeah, but he kind of had to waste the first half minute or so getting there. I like Carson but no more OJT presidents.

My personal favorite of those would probably be Rand Paul, but judging from the debate, my impression is that Bush and Kasich would be the candidates with the best chance of becoming president. They seem to be moderate and smart. Somebody who is "hardcore" on issues like abortion is not going to win many votes in the middle.

Ms. Fiorina has a remote chance against Ms. Clinton, the others have none.

Sorry, I don't like it, but there it is.
