She did, I missed that. She does seem a little less stern this debate.
Cruz rants, Trump whines like a child, Kasich is throwing his hands in the air and Fiorina is less "stern" because she smiles? What is stern? You are applying a double standard based on gender, it seems. This is what Fiorina, Clinton, and most professional women are talking about.
Fiorina came across angry the last debate. Someone obviously told her to tone it down, and she did. Likability is just as important as other qualities when running for president.
Federal taxes run at about 18% of GDP. The issue is how that is split up. If you reduce taxes on higher incomes then you have to increase it on lower incomes.
If Carson's or Cruz's 10% flat tax does not start until a person earns $36,000, seems like the lower incomes escape paying a lot of income taxes.

There seem to be some here who are misinformed on the debates. The editorial staff not only picks the moderators but also writes the questions. The RNC and DNC have nothing to do with it.
The media is leaning more far left than it ever has before and polls worse than Congress when asked if it can be trusted.
1. They are online polls, which are incredibly unscientific.
Yeah, that’s the rap but if it is “unscientific" then it is unscientific for everyone. Why would it be wrong just for Trump? If as some have mentioned it is simply a vote for your favorite candidate, then Trump must have been on top going in, which goes against the grain of what the media have been telling us. He had some good moments but I guess I am used to the old Trump.
There's too many singing the song. The Republicans apparently colluded to make the debate about the moderators rather than their lack of any sensible ideas.
Did you even watch the debate at all? The moderators inserted their own opinions trashing the candidates personally, or on their proposals, and argued with the candidates if the candidates dared not agree with their low opinions of them. I mean the first question was essentially, tell us why you are not qualified to be president so everyone can use it against you in a sound byte.
For example, they did not ask the candidates to explain to the people the details of their tax plan. The mods told the candidates how awful their tax plan was, how experts also say how awful their tax plan is, and then interrupted the candidates answer to disagree with them and reiterate how stupid their plan was.
Essentially, the moderators hated or despised everyone on that stage, tried their best to make them all look stupid, and mean-spirited, and made sure all of America saw them try to do it too.
Just ask him.
He'll tell you.
"I win". "I'm a winner".
"I don't like to lose".
It's subliminal advertising by himself, like a Jedi Mind Trick.
If he keeps saying that everyone will just assume he is winning and vote for him because they think they have to. It's a brilliant marketing scheme.
