Conclusion: The GOP is in deeper trouble than I thought
Carson. He looks about as out of place as a runaway slave with amnesia. He's clueless to the fact that his party will never have a black man as its representative.
Walker. Obviously, he's out of his league here. He's an uneducated hick and it shows each time he speaks. He still looks and acts like he's still a student at Marquette, cheating on exams.
Bush. This guy's brother was the worst president in history, yet he defends him since he represents a younger, wimpier version of the same thing. Scary to see this big lummox pretending to be presidential material. His views are atrocious. Typical Bush. Dubya II.
Rubio. He sounds plastic, contrived, fake, rehearsed, and completely out of touch. He looks and sounds like he has about as much wisdom as an 11 year old.
Trump. He continues his vague fast-talk as the worlds most overrated orangutan. He's eager to make deals, where the U.S. gets everything and others get nothing. He wants to make America great again, without realizing that such is NOT the case as long as bigots are running the country. The man is as delusional as self-mutilating New Ager who believes that you can change the molecular structure of water simply by applying loving emotion to it.
Cruz. A blabbering idiot and a Bill Murray lookalike. He stands about as much chance as Bill Murray too, which he is keenly aware of. He has no business being seen in public.
Paul. Plagiarist. Racist. Being stupid won't kill you, but it sure will make you sweat. Paul looks like he's been doing a great deal of sweating lately, as his stock continues to plummet. Like his father, he's a loser. Everybody seems to know this but him.
Fiorina. She's only slightly more credible than Michelle Bachmann, even with an atrocious record as a CEO. She can't run companies, so what makes her think she can run the country? She's bigoted and out of touch, like the typical Republican. She's slender, attractive, has nice legs, and a polished presentation, but her party is on the wrong side of every political argument, especially when it comes to women's rights. She's not a white male either, and the GOP loves, honors, promotes, and prefers to be represented by white males.
The rest don't matter. Frankly, these suspects have a difficult task and they each failed miserably. They have to convince their Conservative constituents, that they each are better than the others, without criticizing the others too much, even when they themselves represent a party which has done nothing positive for this country in over 20 years. The party does NOT have a record to run on, so all they can do is give us the same GOP talking points. They all are pathetic.
The winners will likely shave some points off Carson and Trump.
Carson for sure. Trump did nothing to lose his base but certainly didn't gain anything tonight.
Cruz's and Walker's few supporters are looking for another horse to bet on. (Huckabee's base is true-blue, they'll follow him as long as he wants to stay in.)
I think most of the shaved points will go to Rubio. Fiorina and Paul will get bumps.
Graham too but not sure if he'll pick enough to matter.
Fear has a particular smell and this post reeks of it.

I missed the early debate.
I would like to see Graham replace a few at the adult table. I don't agree with most of his positions but do enjoy how he spins it.
Paul. Plagiarist. Racist. Being stupid won't kill you, but it sure will make you sweat. Paul looks like he's been doing a great deal of sweating lately, as his stock continues to plummet. Like his father, he's a loser. Everybody seems to know this but him.
Paul said, basically, that the war on drugs is racist, and he is right. His father is well liked and did more to spread libertarian ideas and values than anyone alive today.

I also think Cruz did pretty badly tonight. He should be out by now. As should Bush, but all that money will probably keep him in when he doesn't deserve to be.
I actually was impressed by Paul and Kasich, but they both are probably too intelligent for the Republican base. And I don't see how Carson holds onto the number two spot after his lackluster performance tonight.
She has a really weird twitch that makes me uneasy at times and the blinking,maybe thats what you mean.
Carson is just, ugh. I dont get the appeal other than, "he stood up to President Obama".
