'The questioners are gunning for Trump. He's danced and dodged OK.' Winner: Kasich/Loser: Paul
Kind of boring, maybe next debate try a spelling bee.
Anyone remember Mondale/Reagan 1st debate 1984 Mondale reeled off issues Reagan seemed bored
me & my wife & dad cringed, Reagan won by landslide debates didn't matter
Why wasn't Martha McCallum a moderator in the main debate instead of being at the minor league debate,
she's much nicer to look at and just as smart. Next debate they should reverse rolls.

Too much style over substance in these things.
Although Bush did not have much charisma tonight my opinion of him improved slightly.
Although I would never vote for him.
There are just too many unelectable people on that stage for a general election.
I think Cruz is a smart guy but he's way too far right socially for me and the rest of the general population to ever get elected.
Kasich has really solved the social issue problem for the the republicans if the rest of the candidates are smart enough to follow his lead.
His answer on gay marriage is simply the greatest answer I have ever heard any politician ever answer that question from either party.
That right there was the perfect answer.
It did not offend anyone regardless of which side you were on on that issue and it sounded sincere .
It was perfect.
You can pretty much use that stance for any social issue .
Why lose votes on these issues when you don't have to?
They way he answered was exactly the way it should always be answered.
I wish Mitt Romeney would have taken a page out of that play book 4 years ago.
He would not have been considered a flip flopped and might have even survived the GOP nomination process at the same time.
This guy has it figured out.
He is by far the most electable person on the stage.
And besides Rubio maybe the only electable person on the stage.

Paul gets the youth vote and they rule the internet.
Kasich also handled the Trump conundrum perfectly. Said we have to listen to why he's getting the support. Didn't dismiss him, didn't endorse his ideas. Kasich just gets it. I don't know if he'll get through to the red meat, angry, Republican base that just wants to tear it all down, but he is BY FAR the R's best shot to win a general election.
