3) Donald Trump: The Trump show did not disappoint and brought with it a few chuckles along the way. As the maverick outsider, he did more than survive the debate.


Losers:

1) Chris Christie: His attempt to look aggressive by going after other candidates like Paul & Huckabee backfired on him.

2) John Kasich: The governor of Ohio did well but seemed nervous and stumbled with his words at times.

3) Jeb Bush: It's not that he did bad, but as the establishment candidate that has all of wall street behind him, he didn't really shine either. He just looked kind of stiff.
Weird, I think the exact opposite. Rand Paul lost that debate big time. Just about everyone here in the US agrees. Ted Cruz was a bore, and Trump was a buffoon.

Agree on Bush but Christie came of really strong (except when he sunk down to Paul's bully boorish behavior and then he brought up 9/11 to defend himself). And Kasich was the clear cut winner of the debate in lots of people's minds. I thought so last night and it's being repeated over and over again today.
