Tuesday's GOP Debate
Here's a quick take on Tuesday night's GOP debate on CNN.
As far as I'm concerned there was no clear winner. Though I have to say out of everyone up on the stage, I personally thought Cruz was outstanding. His command of and ability to articulate issues are incredible. Will it bring him closer to the number #1 spot somewhere other than Iowa? Who knows. It'll be up to the American people to decide. But this is one smart guy with an incredible background and no fear of going against the status quo. Gotta admire that ...
Rubio did fine. But I think he might have hurt himself when the Gang of 8 stuff was brought up.
Trump? He did fine too. His stating he won't go 'third party' was a relief to many. But his surprising show of a tiny bit of humility saying how honored he is to be #1 in most of the polls was unusual. A humble Donald? I don't think so. My guess is that someone told him to tone things down a bit and stop throwing bombs every which way. Yet he couldn't help himself a few times. His polls will either remain the same or climb as it seems no matter what he says or does, many seem to love him no matter what.
Thought Christie did well. He wanted to look tough, experienced and like a Commander in Chief (used that term a lot in connection with himself) and I think he succeeded with many. The only time the façade cracked a bit was when one of the other candidates mentioned BridgeGate. He momentarily had a look of disgust but moved on and deflected like a good politican always does when confronted with unwanted comments or questions.
Carly?
Love her take on how we need to up the ante with better technology and also using social networks to see and learn what the bad guys are up to. She'd be great to head something like that up and bring us into the 21st century!
The rest of the field need to drop out as far as I'm concerned.
Again, I don't think there was a definitive winner, but the more I watch and listen to Ted Cruz, the more I admire him, He could really be the one to pull us out of the mess this country's in. More on him in another entry.
