Cain didn't bungle anything on the hostage question. Cooper asked about something Cain answered hours before in another appearance which was not the question Cain believed he had been asked or answered. Cain was clear each time Cooper kept coming back to him: do not negotiate with terrorists.

If anything Cain seemed confused why there was any question about his position which he'd repeated multiple times already.

Cain is also correct, and Santorum admitted as much when he defended prior negotiations and operations, when Cain said we should not second guess Netanyahu's decision. We don't have all the facts available to the Israeli PM.

He did avoid the 14th amendment, a "gotcha" question meant to drive a wedge between Hispanics and the GOP. In a head-to-desk moment, Bachmann took the bait and said "anchor babies."

Fortunately, Cain and Perry did not take the bait, particularly when the question was boiled down for Perry to whether we should repeal the 14th. The press is spinning it generally against the field, "candidates take the 5th," but Perry gave the only sensible answer: NO on repeal.

FRiend, no one wants to repeal the 14th, no one. We want to stop misinterpreting it as granting citizenship to anyone born here.

WRONG!

Only one got it right, Bachmann.

Romney : Change the subject (flunk )
Cain : Change the subject(flunk )
Perry : No, don't amend.(flunk )
Bachmann : We don't need to amend the constitution. All we to do is just change the law.(Gold Star for Michelle)

Perry's position :"Send them to college at taxpayers expense".
