Okay I caved.

Actually a bit impressed, the debate is turning out better than I expected. Started out real weak. I have been tweeting some through the debate and wish I could pull a couple of them back, but did tweet this started horrible and I hold onto that one.

Some of it was easy, conservatives asking conservatives questions especially for foreign policy and the military. There were some good moments, but I don’t think anyone was really challenged.

The Trump train may be slowed down a bit after this debate, but I cannot say there was a real winner. Trump’s limitations were on display, we will need to see how people viewed them. Bush may have survived well, but will he grow. Christie was okay, Huckabee was okay, but pandered too much, Paul just keeps shooting himself in the foot, but he did seem a bit genuine, Rubio may not gain ground, Carson needed to stand out and didn’t, not sure how Cruz is playing out, did get the God question right for the people who believe, Walker and Kaisch didn’t seem to stand out, I cannot remember anything that made them different; yet with all my opinion the polls will better answer who may have won and how they did in the eyes of America. The press will also tell us who won.

As with all of you, I will be curious as to the polling numbers over the next couple of days. The people will at least redetermine who the leaders are for now. And unfortunately the seven that didn’t make it to the stage tonight are now really fighting from behind the eight ball. There was some mention of Carly, but stating the name is nowhere near enough to overcome not being there.

And the Democrats are in trouble. Hillary cannot go up against this much publicity if the democrats just expect her to win. They didn’t even bash her much at all and she still lost much ground because the democrats do not have anything to offer the public to view that compares. The Republicans looked good overall so all the clown car jokes are going to be hard to invoke for now and coronation expectations look really bad now.
