I like the guy, but he is a guy that needs more than 1 minute per issue, because solutions aren't easily communicated in sound bytes.
Agreed. His comments on the demographic issues associated with Medicare and Social Security feel flat, but he was right on point. However, all those who continuously voted anti-governmmet spending throughout the program mysteriously changed their tune when it came to two of the biggest government spending programs. Rand Paul is consistent because he has thought through the issues.

Can't think of a single breakout moment and or candidate. It was a waste of time.


did you say the same thing for the Democrat debate?

I agree. They all need to put on their big boy/girl undies.

I thought the best were Kasich and Carson. Not that I would EVER vote Republican, but they were the only ones that were reasonable IMO.

Hillary Clinton OR Bernie Sanders would make a MUCH better president than ANY of them!

I'll go with Bush - the guy who needed a breakout but broke down instead.
He was invisible tonight.
OP, why not ask who was the winner? Why always focus on "the loser"?

To answer your question it was the questioners who was trying to go for 30 sec sound bites the liberal media could use against them. I did not like the disrespect.

Fiorina and Bush had already tanked so far that the debate didn't inflict much more damage.
Cruz was less repulsive than usual so will gain a few points.
Carson if possible was even less charismatic than usual so will lose a few points.
Christie ragged on Clinton enough to attract a little GOP-positive attention.
Kasich held his own.
Paul and Huckabee were yawners but didn't lose much.

That leaves Trump and Rubio. IMO they're the biggest losers tonight but not by much.
