Last Night's GOP Debate | National Catholic Reporter

Last Night's GOP Debate | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Classic neo-conservatism includes highlighting the importance of our special relationship with israel - otherwise its just militarism.  Rubio is a militarist and Paul is not.



Trump is an undiagnosed bipolar sufferer who can't help but be grandiose.  Of course, one may argue that grandiosity is a requirement for office.



Jeb got off the shot at Trump that was replayed over again about insults not being a debate tactic and about  Trump being out of his league.  Lets hope that someone turns that exchange into a commerical.  Canned and prepared is good if its well executed, for Trump cannot insult his way into the presidency.  John Ellis does not have to win over Trump supporters, he just has to keep those who would vote for him engaged until voting starts - and GOTV takes organization - something populists hate as inauthentic.



Too bad Kasich is such a bad debater.  Even Sanders would crush him.  I won't mention the other dwarfs.  The polls may or may not mean anything.  What matters is turnout, which is harder to project.  Many will drop out after Iowa (which is foolish, because Iowa is non-binding), others after New Hampshire.  Few will drop out before and the big drops will come after South Carolina, Florida and New York.  Plenty of silliness left.
