[TheRealThing]

I had visions of super gluing Kasich's lips together last night. He was an annoying distraction to say the least. Jeb is just a lost ball in high weeds. I don't think anybody takes him seriously! Fiorina is the one who believes repeating the same thing over and over again will make it true. For me, she lost a lot of ground last night.

Cruz is an eloquent speaker to me. His college debate back ground clearly came through last night. I hate to say this in a way, but I thought Trump and Carson made a whole lot of sense. Yes, there was some repetition, but you could also say that it was a consistency. Certainly wasn't the degree of repetition that Fiorina brought to the table. Carson's final statement was profound.

Trump made a statement one time that should he get the nomination, his choice for VP was standing on the stage with him. I'm thinking Cruz. Trump, Cruz and Carson as Surgeon General or Veteran Affairs. I could live with it.

Right, and the thing is this. Whoever emerges from the primary season as nominee, will have their hands full to beat Hillary. So, though most on here would agree that even the Republican bottom tier candidates would be far better than Hillary, I can't see a Kasich or a Fiorina besting her in an actual campaign.

I always get suspicious when the left starts pushing for the opposition candidate by saying how tough they think they'd be for Hillary to beat. First they were all about Jeb, his Presidential fortunes have not faired so well and so now they're up on the Rubio band wagon. The Dems think they're waay smarter than those on the right, so you can bet they're trying to manipulate public opinion in order to get a candidate they think they can easily beat. As an example, I've always thought Jeb was hadable and he is getting hammered by everybody right now except for his campaign manager.
