Here are a few notes on the ABC News Republican Debate:
- Look, I don't dislike Rubio, he seems well prepared, but his speech sounds rehearsed;
- By contrast, Cruz sounds more natural and spontaneous when he delivers his answers;
- I wish they gave Carson more time to talk 'cause a lot of stuff he said was pretty good;
- On the subject of Carson, he's shown a lot of improvement lately, he's been a much more passionate talker, it's just that the whole "Cruz's people did a number on me" shouldn't be his principal driving force;
- Trump, when he isn't being a complete jerk, can actually make some good points, but I don't think his alpha male persona is getting as much attention as he did, since he dropped out of the previous debate;
- And oddly enough, I'm not mad at Trump, as many horrible flaws as he does, those pale in comparison to the black hole that is Kasich and Jeb Bush;
-Jeb Bush, in particular, is maddening. He thinks he can run for office like his dad or his big brother, but he's everything George Bush was not. He doesn't have the "down to earth appeal" that his brother had, he doesn't have the energy of Trump, frankly Marco Rubio is a much better Jeb Bush than the man himself;
