Last Night's Republican "Debates"

One thing that stood out above all was that All the Republican Candidates Are By Far Superior to Any of the Democrats!

The Debate was fun to watch. Thankfully, there was on-line streaming since I have cut off my TV services.

I only saw clips from the earlier debate, but Carly Fiorina is the only candidate who is consistently coherent in thought and speaks in complete sentences. She had better be in the Varsity Debate next time.
Santorum sounds like a dumb priest and Perry missed by a little, but was respectable.
I only saw some bits of news copy on the net today.

My impressions from last night were Trump was too pompous, but got away with it as part of his Grump-Trump hard bargaining. Let us hope he won't screw us all with a third party if his big fat ego get is the way of what will be best for US.

Fox News tried to show how tough they could be on Trump especially and on Republicans in general. You know that is true when CNN praises Fox News.

The best, in order, were Huckabee (he acted, looked and sounded presidential), Carson, then Cruz.
The worst were Bush, Kasich and Rubio. They were all big government politicians, hedging on everything and constantly talking in distorted terms about their past legislation and policies.They are untrustworthy, amnesty loving RINOS.

Walker performed adequately with some hits and misses, he was nothing great for a national scale, but works well in Wisconsin.

Then there was Rand Paul and Christie.
Rand Paul is crazy mostly, forget him, but he was the winner against Christie. Paul even looked as if he was wearing someone else's suit.

Christie is too big government and lefty on too many issues for me. He was defending the NSA surveillance of all of us. He should stick to NJ. He seemed defensive, strangely awkward and out of place.
