Well, I guess you could call it that.  Yes.  I actually stayed up and watched to the bitter end.  I came away with some new impressions that I can share.  First, let’s get The Donald out of the way.  I didn’t see anything that would change anyone’s mind who likes him.  He hung in there albeit his lack of concrete foreign policy plans.  Nonetheless, I would give him a pass.  I have some superlatives for the other 10.

Most uninspiring:  Rand Paul and Ben Carson.  Oddly, both of these guys are doctors.  More of a bedside manner than a debate.

Most scary:  Ted Cruz.  Did anyone else notice that every time he spoke, he turned a addressed the camera.  I thought that maybe he was sending subliminal messages.  He is creepy and reminds me of a satan figure.

Second most scary:  Huckabee.  Talk about Trump spouting craziness.  This guy doesn’t even believe in our form of government or democracy.  The Ft. Hood shooter got to grow a beard so Kim Davis can ignore her duties as a government servant?  And what about that Supreme Court?  Teddy rang right in that he would choose only candidates that agreed with his positions on everything.

Most improved:  Jeb.  Yes Jeb held his own.  Not sterling but he seemed more with it.  I was a little annoyed that he wasn’t more enthusiastic about his positions.  He seemed a bit namby-pamby.  Energy Energizer!

Most annoying:  Christ Christie.  Ok. Ok. Ok.  We’ve heard that you appointed as a Federal prosecutor on September 10, 2001.  Blah, blah, blah.  More salient facts about the status of New Jersey and all of the GW Bridge fiasco can’t really be swept under the rug.  Too much patting himself on the back.

Most forgettable:  Scott Walker.  I almost forgot!  Did the people of Wisconsin really elect him governor?  Are they putting chemicals in the cheese up there?    He is a complete loser.  I can’t remember one thing that he said.

Almost as forgettable as Scott Walker:  Kasich and Rubio.  I’m sure they are nice guys.  In fact, they are probably the nicest ones that were there.  But neither one said anything exciting that did sound like their stump speeches rather than debatable issues.  They both get a C.

And finally, the least engaging:  Carly.  Yes.  I know the media is having orgasms over her.  But she’s really just Ann Coulter but without the warmth.  How do you get to be a candidate for President when you lead 2 huge (YUGE) corporations into the ground.  Lucent Technologies is defunct and Hewlett-Packard is on it’s way out.  She did nothing for these companies lead them down the tubes.   And she lost her election against Barbara Boxer by ten points.  And her presumption that Hillary lied about Benghazi (no evidence has been found that the allegation is true after 8 investigations) and lied about her emails, Carly has a bit of trouble with the truth herself.  During the debate she claimed to a viewed a video depicting a Planned Parenthood employee basically killing a live fetus.  That does not exist.  This might be why she was fired from Lucent and HP.  She’s dangerous.  Anyone who can make false statements with such bravado cannot possibly be lead our country.  She would be putting lives in jeopardy not just stockholders.  No, I don’t want to see that face as President.  The Donald probably got it right!
