I only watched a bit of it - but I noticed that Cruz and Jeb could not help but make derogatory remarks about Trump in their opening statements.  I guess they didn't have to fear that he would retaliate, and cut them to ribbons in front of the voters. 

I watched a bit of Trump's program.  Nothing spectacular, but he did get some of his rich friends to pony up money for veterans and in my mind, was a lot better cause then listening to the other candidates yammering on. 

I do have a question.  Can someone tell me why Rand Paul is always on the main event, while Carly Fiorina was shuffled off to the JV?  I never seen Rand Paul even reflected in the polls. 

One thing I like about Chris Christie - he always stays with the issues that people want to hear about, and he doesn't bad mouth the other candidates, except Hilary, of course. And I always think that Rubio does very well in the debates, even though his personal life seems a bit messy.  I wonder if he was on a debate team somewhere along the line.
