David Robertson gave his views on the 4th Republican debate below. I would like to add an alternate observation. There were losers but few if any winners.
- Jeb Bush: dead man walking.
- Donald Trump: A winner although he didn’t have a stellar performance his message of limited international interventions and somewhat populist economics could be a winner.
- Dr Ben Carson: Although he may have been a great surgeon he hasn’t got a clue as to how the rest of the world works. His answers to legitimate questions were gibberish and Palin like word salads.
- Marco Rubio: Once again he just repeated conservative and neocon talking points all of which have been desecrated . Once again he demonstrated that he is not the sharpest knife in the kitchen and has no real ideas of his own.
The remaining players on the stage are going nowhere.
