The governors on stage, notably John Kasich of Ohio and Scott Walker of Wisconsin, touted their economic records. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz vowed to scrap the Iran deal. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson reminded voters in his closing remarks of the professional background that separates him from the rest: "I'm the only one to separate Siamese twins."
My opinions, and worth every penny: - Trump made a good impression with the base, but didn't convince me. I was put off by his answer to the first question. I remember Ross Perot and the Reform Party that never took off but crashed into Jesse Ventura. What he was saying struck me as "Yes, I wanna be on the team, but only if I can be captain. Otherwise I'll get up my own team."
- Rand Paul made an ass of himself.
- Kasich and Huckabee both did better than I expected. I guess it's their experience in TV Land showing.
- Carson was quiet-spoken, intelligent, likable. I'm not sure that will be enough, but if it is he's got my vote.
- Walker wasn't as forceful as he could have been.
- I don't take to Christie, not sure why.
- I don't take to JEB, mainly because I think dynastic politix isn't good for us. I know he did a good job in Florida and was popular with the voters, but we don't need no damn Bhuttos or Sharifs.
- I liked both Rubio and Cruz. Neither uttered talking points or dealt in one-liners. They were kind of mid-pack in a field of mostly winners.
