Post GOP Debate Analysis 3/3/16

Wow what a night! The only thing missing was yo’ momma jokes and automatic gunfire! One thing I’m really tired of is “hey you, attack this guy!” “You said my name so I get to attack you!” Rinse and repeat. I learned absolutely nothing new tonight except Trump has small hands but a large penis, nobody wants to see any of the candidates do downward dog on stage and a businessman with hundreds of properties and business ventures is sued by people.

As for substance, I thought that although Trump took a few to the chin, he showed a lot of restraint given the barrage of incoming fire he received however I think he could have done without saying “little Marco” but that his thing and he’s the one that just keeps rising in the polls so what do I know? For example, Rubio hit him on flip flopping on issues and he said something to the effect that if you’re wrong on something and realize it, you don’t just stay the course which is true. That would be and idiot and Trump might be a lot of things, stupid isn’t one of them. He also brought up that he has brought a whole bunch of new voters to the republican party, something that the other candidates can’t really say at least to the degree Trump has so that’s a very big plus.

Sidenote: was it just me or was Trump the only one or virtually the only one had fact checking graphics put up while he was being interrogated by the political assassins? Fox News, c’mon, your bias is showing, tuck it in!

Cruz probably came in second in my book. He was on point for the most part but he kind of flirts with the scripted line as well like Rubio does so he ought to be careful about that. He uses attack lines time and time again against Trump and they just don’t work so I don’t know why he keeps trying.

Rubio looked tired, frustrated and just worn out. He had that flexible line against rump when they referenced yoga but I’m not electing a comedian. Although he didn’t full robot, he did seem scripted and I just don,t think he does well off script and it has shown. I think his days are numbered. He has also cancelled his speech a CPAC which I have noticed a lot of young conservative support for him there so we’ll see if that has any impact on him. All in all, he really didn’t impress me but then again, he hasn’t impressed me in a very long time.

John Kasich. Bless his heart but sadly, the calm, reasonable approach just isn’t working this time around. He might have done better 4 years ago but he missed his chance. I also heard him interviewed by O’reilly and he said he absolutely won’t take a VP position if he does not win so I really don’t know what he’s still doing there. Lastly, is anybody else getting tired of story after story from him? I mean he’d be a really cool grandpa with all his stories and all but I’m going to need more from a president.

Even though Ben Carson wasn’t there and looks like he very well coud be dropping out any day now, I will say this, any presumptive Republican admin. would be completely foolish to not have him in his cabinet.

Good debate, everybody survived the gunfire and I can only expect Donald Trump’s numbers to go up especially given that circus of a speech given by Mitt Romney earlier today.
