Everyone agrees Fiorina did well. Most think Christie did well. Walker and Paul are viewed as losers for the most part. - ML Sep 17, 09:47 17
- And the consensus I've seen adds that Rubio was solid, but not great. -- nm - Ender Sep 17, 09:53 10
  - Yup. He's done fine both debates, but hasn't broken out. - ML Sep 17, 09:54 9
    - He's the Survivor contest that's just trying to lay low and not screw up for now. -- nm - iSpam Sep 17, 10:18 1
      - So, he's the Steve. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 17, 10:27
    - No one's saying much about Jeb (that I've seen) - was he there? -- nm - Diva Sep 17, 10:12 2
      - He's currently cast in the role of trying to wrestle Trump down, so even when he succeeds he winds up muddy. -- nm - Ender Sep 17, 10:14 1
        
        And he's not that good a rangler. - Will Hunting Sep 17, 10:37
    - While I disagree with him on most everything, he comes off as being one of the few grown ups in the room. -- nm - pmb Sep 17, 10:02 1
      - It's relative though. In a room full of actual adults he comes off as a brat. -- nm - Max Sep 17, 10:05
    - Whoever winds up taking Trump down is probably going to have to sacrifice their own campaign as well, and Rubio's happy to let others throw themselves in front of that bullet for now. -- nm - Ender Sep 17, 09:57 1
      - first Perry, who officially quit, then Jindahl who is just there for the networking, have taken parting shots -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 17, 11:04
- Man I'm terrible at predicting elections. I thought it was going to be Tsongas, I thought it was going to be Bradley, I predicted Scott Walker - Max Sep 17, 09:53 5
  - Walker was positioned to mirror Bush 43, but he looks more like Pawlenty at this point. - ML Sep 17, 10:11 4
    - Whoever told him to run as Huckabee without the personality should never be allowed to work in politics again. -- nm - Ender Sep 17, 10:12 3
      - He also confused nuanced positions with having multiple positions on teh same issue. - Will Hunting Sep 17, 10:40 2
        
        There are hints out there that his campaign manager may be on the outs, and right quick. -- nm - ML Sep 17, 10:42 1
        
        Makes sense, cuz it's never the candidate's fault. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 17, 10:47
Carly did well by everything I've seen. Walker seems to have been a non-factor. Rand was weak. - Will Hunting Sep 17, 09:45 9
- I can't believe the two medical doctors chose to pander on vaccines... -- nm - Ender Sep 17, 09:48 8
  - Particularly since anti-vaxxers are not necessarily conservative. -- nm - mara Sep 17, 10:18 3
    - Well, there are really 2 brands of anti-vaxxers. The ones who think it causes autism are more liberal, but there's a libertarian brand... - Ender Sep 17, 10:23 2
      - Yeah this is one of those places where the crazies on each side bend towards each other. -- nm - iSpam Sep 17, 10:28
      - is it to late to get that wall built between Canada and the US? You guys keep polio all to yourselves -- nm - Beaker Sep 17, 10:25
  - *raises an eyebrow* - znufrii Sep 17, 09:51
  - That's disappointing, but I'm glad no one other than Trump went full Jenny McCarthy on it. Edit: IM -- (edited) - ML Sep 17, 09:51
  - I can. There's no courage in modern politics. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 17, 09:49 1
    - this. -- nm - spamlet Sep 17, 09:52
