Last GOP debate of the year

We watched the entire joust and truly enjoyed a few moments of it. These Republican debates are so entertaining!

Without getting influenced by the media's next morning assessment, I would say that Trump did a good job containing the situation and maintaining his lead. He made no mistakes and was consistent. What saves him is his ability to speak as if he had a huge amount of common sense.

This may be false, but that's how he comes across to the public. Cruz worked really hard to make himself heard and to hoist himself above the rest. He probably succeeded, but without getting much closer to Trump.

Christie held his head above water, Rubio got demolished and so did Bush. Carson was totally lost. Fiorina knows how to be angry and staid that way the entire debate while Kasich, as usual, was unnerving. The bright spot would have been Paul who – as usual – made a few good points.

He is smart and would make a good running mate to Trump! Did I forgot someone?
