First, all of the candidates did well in the debate, even the Donald comported himself well. But, when all is said and done, there was one clear winner in both debates and that was Carley Fiorina. She stood heads, shoulders and breasts above the crowd of republican presidential hopefuls. Well read on all the issues, well mannered, an eloquent speaker for conservative principles and, most importantly, extremely intelligent.
This women is, and always will be, the sharpest nail in the keg! Can you imagine a debate between Ms Fiorina and that self-serving, money grubbing congenital liar Hillary Clinton. Carly would clean Hillary's clock big time irrespective of the liberal moderating the debate or the questions asked. Such an encounter would be the debate of the century, but would have to be called after a few rounds because Clinton would be too battered to continue and the audience would not be able to stomach the carnage. Having said this, Fiorina will most likely end up as the vice presidential candidate but, her day will come, of this I have not the slightest doubt.
What about the other candidates? The Donald did well, much better than I expected but he still remains a very, very loose cannon. I think it is just a matter of time until he implodes. Most likely he will end up running as a third party candidate which will spell the end of the republicans for this election cycle.
Other than Fioina, I was most impressed with Governor Jim Gilmore, this guy is a rock solid conservative who has his head screwed of right. Gilmore is bright, articulate and experienced, he would make an excellent president. My biggest disappointment of the evening was Ben Carson, not that he performed poorly, which he did not! However, Dr. Carson just doesn't seem to have the "fire in his belly" to engender much excitement in those who otherwise might be inclined to support him. Too bad, he too would make an excellent president!
