I watched, but was totally embarrassed by the candidates. They sounded like first graders waiting for their turn. "Me, me, me, I'm next". All of them were talking at the same time most of the time. The moderaters were frustrated at the candidates for not listening to them. I really don't see any real strong Republican candidates. My wife wants Chris Christy to be nominated. I don't have a preference yet, and may never have a Republican preference. Trump and Carson were not that excited to be there, it seemed. Anyway, Here goes:
BOULDER, Colo. -- Since early summer in the 2016 Republican presidential primary, insurgent candidates with little to no experience in government have dominated the polls and the conversation. On Wednesday, at the third GOP presidential debate on the economy in Boulder, Colorado, outsiders Ben Carson and Donald Trump took a back seat to establishment favorites who demonstrated why polish and experience matter in the race for the White House.
Carson and Trump, the two front-runners, hardly seemed to be present. Trump went long periods without speaking. Carson struggled to explain his association with a controversial nutritional supplement company and squabbled with the moderators. Both candidates complained about the questions and accused CNBC, a business news network, of operating under a liberal bias.
“I don’t mind tough questions, but it just shows there’s such a big difference,” Carson said of this month's Democratic presidential debate, following the GOP event.
Trump said he thought he did “fine.” But he, too, grumbled about the moderators.
“It was much tougher than Hillary’s questions,” the businessman told reporters after the debate, referring to inquiries put to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The establishment-friendly candidates of the GOP were only happy to pile on.

I don't know which debate you were watching. In fact, your observations seem to be prejudgments of what you expected to see and hear, and then found something more interesting to do. Meanwhile there was a tidal shift in the narrative. The candidates finally struck back at their true opposition, the media, and they did it effectively. The consensus among those who actually watched was cheering and applause. It seems that the only ones We the People despise more than politicians are the media. Cruz, Trump, and Rubio scored high marks for delivering the most effective attacks on the moderators whose only discernible goal is to trip up the GOP candidates to gain votes for the Democrats.

Who you writing to CPT Jack Durish ? If it's me, I went in with an open mind. I watched it until everyone was talking at the same time and they weren't making any sense, especially the questions being asked by the moderaters. I'm glad Trump, Cruz, and Rubio took the moderaters to task about their ridiculous questions and attitudes.

OMG, This is the worst I've seen anyone act at a debate. It a More Than Three Stooges skit. The only they haven't done is poke each other in the eye. It's embarrassing, MAJ Ken Landgren.
