Listened to some of both Beck and Limbaugh this morning. (Yep! How else are you going to get the tone of what the right wing media is saying/thinking?) They both saw Trump and Carson as winners. They also felt Rubio, Fiorina, and Jindal did well. They weren't excited about Cruz or Walker performances.
My perspective...
I thought Trump continued to come across as an egotistical a**!! To me, when he refused to apologize to Jeb Bush's wife for over-the-top remarks, that proved his arrogance. His comeback to Fiorina re remarks about her facial features was also bad. Yet, he bullied his way through another "food fight" and no right wing media person wants to get on his bad side.
Fiorina was superb in her showing her knowledge of foreign affairs, etc. Pretty sharp lady. I certainly don't hold with many of her political beliefs, but she is by far the smartest clown in the car.
Paul allowed his "short man syndrome" to show through. Unelectable.
Cruz is about the most sour-faced, negative, anti-everything person one could every hope to meet.
Huckabee was catering to the Evangelicals.
Kasich and Christie both came across as strong and politically astute. The GOP won't back either one because they might be too moderate and actually work with the other side of the aisle to accomplish something.
Carson looked like he had indigestion. Looked weak... almost scared. Locating him next to Trump was as if he was the sheep and Trump the wolf.
Not one of these "clowns" would be my choice as POTUS. However, right now, I don't know if the Dems will have a viable candidate out there. Seems like no electable person is standing up and saying "Take me."
