Who Lost the GOP Debate?

     We've had lots of debate on who won but how about who lost? My last post was about Meet the Press


     Also on MTP, Chuck Todd announced the numbers of NBC polls on who won. Now the previous polls from Drudge, CNN, and others have shown that Trump won. NBC shows this too though when you factor in the ealier little kids' debate, Carly Fiorina is the overall winner. 

    Which I wholly agree with.

    So factoring in Carly, Trump is second. However, guess who was second to last? That's right Jeb! Iv'e noticed in every poll I've seen his performance has been rated lower than everyone except: Chris Christie. 

    Now Todd happily informed us that as to the question of who lost the debate Trump was also listed number one according to the respondents to the NBC poll. But Bush was also listed near the top on who lost as well. So Jeb is listed as next to the bottom on who won and next to the top in on who lost. 

    What's more in the post debate bounce, Trump is still leading at 23%, Carly is up to 8% while Jeb has dropped to 6% according to this same poll. 

    I don't think that Jeb is the big loser then. Every poll has placed him near the bottom on his debate performance and according to NBC his poll numbers have been hit. Now at the end of the day he remains the presumptive favorite and I agree that probably hasn't changed. 

   But his game is not impressive so far. How much it matters we will see but at this point it's impossible to say that he's doing at all well. I do think his brother so far was a much better candidate. To be sure part of this is that W himself has made the Bush brand radioactive. But at this point Jeb is nothing but a presumptive bore. Presumptive as he just seems to think the candidacy is his birthright. 

   As to the second big loser it's Chris Christie. His numbers in all polls have shown that he finished last-with Jeb just ahead. 

  He got into a big pissing contest with Rand Paul where he actually said if it were up to him Paul should be arrested for making comments that allegedly helped ISIS. When Paul pointed out this is not exactly in the Constitution, Chrisite shot back that he was appointed U.S. Attorney General by Bush on September 10, 2001.
