Rubio caught some flack but made some good points, Cruz was on target as usual, but has likability issues. Bush had a good night but not good enough to move him up much.
Kasich was abrasive, as is his habit. Florin did herself some good, I think. I liked her notion that a Putin only respects muscle and we need to show some before talking with him.
I like what Cruz said about illegal immigrants, as quoted in The Washington Post.
He joked that party elites and the mainstream media were easy on Bush because they don’t feel the economic threat that immigrants pose to working-class Americans. If people were coming across the Rio Grande with journalism degrees, Cruz said, the American media would suddenly see immigration as a major problem.It really does depend on whose ox is being gored, doesn't it?
