Ana Navarro was her typical biotchy, biased self with her post-debate swipe at Trump: Even when he tries to be nice, his real self comes out.
This dame is a one-trick pony whose only concern is to defend illegal immigration, and has no business interviewing presidential candidates. But then, again, this is CNN.
Trump was at the advantage from the get go with how the debate was setup, obviously most questions would be directed at him, so he easily had the most air time. That said his performance wasn't really that great, but I don't know if it will effect his polling or not. Carson made a good statement on vaccinations and had a chance to really hit Trump, but didn't take advantage of it and I'm not sure if that was wise or not. Trump ended up sounding just as smart as Carson when it comes to vaccinations, but Carson did all the work, and he is clearly the smarter man. To me that was Carsons only highlight and I don't think he's presidential material at all. I was most impressed with Rubio, Rand, and Kasich. I don't think Kasich got as much out of the debate, but he had good answers. Rubio had great answers and I think did a good job captivating the audience. On the other end, I think Carson, Trump, Cruz, and Huckabee have peaked. In fact I could see Carson fizzling out fairly soon along with Huckabee. Carson has no energy or motivation, I get incredibly bored just listening to him. I don't think Rand is mainstream enough to gather enough support to win the nomination, but he is a logical thinker and good to have in the race and debate. Fiornia is a smoother talker, but she comes off as pretty fake, and I didn't really like her personality, but as far as the debating went she did pretty good and I think she will go up in the polls. I think Rubio was the clear winner and I could see him getting the nomination, and if not the nomination then VP.
Winners:
Rand
Fiornia
Rubio
Middle:
Trump
Kasich
Christie
Bush
Everyone else did fairly poor in my opinion. Cruz and Huckabee both are not good candidates and they really showed it tonight. Most of the other guys aren't even worth discussing.
Carly's mega war monger comments did not help her one bit sorry
I rated her in the "top 3" because I thought her war stance, coupled with her practiced performance and assertiveness, appealed to the target audience.
I'll be very happy if I'm wrong, and it's gratifying to see that many posters here found her irritating.
Overall though, she seemed to be the most prepared of all the candidates.
Rand Paul actually talked about talking to people and not bombing them. That is what he NEEDS to do to win: STOP TRYING TO SOUND LIKE EVERYONE ELSE AND JUST SOUND LIKE HIS FATHER. Maybe he can win-back a lot of people (like me) who have all but given up on him. If he can get half the Ron Paul crowd and energy, with this crowded a field, he can win.

I totally agree with this. Totally. He is clearly the winner of tonight's debate.
