1. Trump, A, (a) Nailed the waterboarding question, (b) Destroy ISIS's resources.
2. Cruz, A-, (a) A water-boarding answer that screamed "I don't trust the military. (b) Gave Trump an opening at the very end. (c) Personal story about sister very honest. (d) Smacked the lady moderator with his "I'm here tonight" not in DC getting a briefing on N.Korea missile.
3. Rubio, B+, (a) Absolutely solid on life, (b) Actually right about Barack Obama over Christie,
4. Carson, B, (a) Honest, (b) Hit the closing statement out of the park
5. Kasich, C, (a) Ohio budget surplus, (b) Friendly
6. Christie, C-, (a) Gadfly, (b) I'm a governor and we're the only thing that count.
7. Bush, D, (a) Worst, most demeaning answer of the evening on life: "I'm in the sweet spot." It wasn't about LIFE; it was about being politically right about it. HORRID response. (b) Wants to do McCain/Clinton Libyan Arab Spring all over again. He's a nut.
Keystone Pipeline is for private use. One of the end point beneficiaries is Phillips Petroleum.
Are they government? I hadn’t heard that.
So Vera lost about 900,000 dollars by refusing his offer. Her property is now garbage in a bankrupt city. Poor thing.
Kasich should be allowed to keep the “c” for not telling us 5 times his father was a postman and not doing his contortions.
I don’t agree with that summary.
She didn’t care about the money. It was her place where she helped others and rightfully shouldn’t have been bulldozed to park casino limosines.
Well, that was brief. :>)
I don’t trust Christie on the Second Amendment. Or Bush, Carson, or Kasich.
And the Keystone has to cross private property to benefit those private refineries. Excellent point you make.
They were beside themselves at the time that the local judge told the governor where to shove it.
Reverse Christie and Rubio and move Cruz to a B+ and you’ve got it
It was Trump’s point. I had to look it up to see if he was right. He was on the money. I’d never really thought of it before.
That, and he supports abortion, and selective service for girls. Jeb's a nasty piece of work.
I agree ... Christie has never been given a fair analysis in FR, IMO
1. Cruz
2. Christie
3. Trump
4. Rubio
5. Kasich
6. Bush
7. Carson
bring it !
Christie annoyed the bejeebers out of me.
Rubio was absolutely stellar on the Right to Life of that baby.
Cruz’s anti-military response really hacked me off. I’m a 24+ year retiree.
I’d trust a battlefield commander with that decision to save troops. Damn straight I would. And I’d trust him more than some politician thousands of miles away sitting in a rose garden.
I should give him a B-. Except for the sister response and smacking down the smug moderator, I would have.
Sorry, posted before i was done, Trump definitely 1st place, but Christie 2nd, Cruz 3rd at best.Rubio has his tail between his legs.
Carson needs more rest.
See #36
No way.
The anti-military response still has me seething
Bush needs to get the Bill Clinton MOJO going to build some confidence. Invite a few employees to the hotel, slap them around and bite them. Worked for BJ.
The Pipeline actually serves a public purpose. Casino limousine parking doesn’t.
