Rather than debating who won or who lost the CNBC Republican debate, I am pleased to offer random thoughts on each candidate.
Chris Christie – Is there any doubt that Christie bets on daily fantasy sports? He was sure quick to deflect that topic.
Mike Huckabee – I was not sure if Huckabee is running for President or for Donald Trump’s VP slot.
Carly Fiorina – She may want to talk to the House Benghazi Committee before challenging Hillary Clinton to a debate.
Ben Carson – His bottle of Ambien clearly warns about it’s use before debating.
John Kasich – He seemed the least crazy to me, but I was distracted by his clumsy arm gestures that made me look for strings that a puppet-master was pulling from above.
Jeb Bush – He should have come onto the stage waving a white flag. He’s done. Move him out to pasture and get the next generation of Bush candidates ready to roll.
Rand Paul – I think he has different ideas than the others, but my ears stop working every time he speaks. All I hear is blah, blah, blah.
Marco Rubio – He struggles with the concept of debt and managing money. Rubio sounds like the perfect choice to lead this country to economic prosperity.
Donald Trump – He seems to think that bankruptcy is a prudent financial path. A Trump/Rubio ticket could spell economic disaster for the country.
Ted Cruz – Did his best work antagonizing the moderators. Still crazy after all these months on the campaign trail.
The other 4 in the junior debate – No comment. You will have to seek out the blogs of the 3 people who watched that debate.
