"Donald Trump finally took some punches, Carly Fiorina grabbed control, Jeb Bush woke up and Marco Rubio and Chris Christie elbowed their way into the fray on a crowded stage. Everyone else just tried to crash the party" This GOP debate took place at the Ronald Raegan Presidential Library wednesday september 16 and was lively and full of mudslinging. Here's some things to takeaway. Fiorina is for real, she wasn't afraid to attack and keep attacking. The debate wasn't completely about Trump, he started out strong but as time went on his advantages his personality gave him started to fade and he lost the spotlight. The pros have got game, proffesional politicians have been losing steam lately but the ones debating last night held their own and maybe even gained some supporters. Jeb Bush was good, but not good enough, he had some good moments but no mass of new supporters will start a campaign stuck in the doldrums. 11 is too many people for a debate, it was a mess and no body got a lot of air time. Base plays can backfire, they all had the same basic ideas for issues and fought over each other for any differences they could find.
Honestly the debate was a mess but at least it wasn't the fox debate. No body really spoke and there were way too many references to Ronald Reagan. The politicians spent most of their time bickering over what each other may or may not have said and how their campaign is going. Trump acted like a jerk and probably should have held back just a little bit to avoid coming off as a D-bag, Carly Fiorina acted like she had a lemon in her mouth the entire debate, she was impatient and generally unpleasent. Also Carly's remark about "all women hearing what he said" really bothered me since I'm pretty anti gynocentrism and I know the usual sayings and attitudes of the generic feminist crowd. Christie and Rubio did half decently and actually had some time to speak after fighting for it for most of the debate. Also Jeb's feud with Trump was pretty dumb. Overall the debate was pretty lousy but at least it wasn't "Trump is sexist and a bad republican now lets give the mic almost exclusively to two other people" like it was in the last fox GOP debate.
This relates to our current unit because it's about the republican party and their memebers running for president which is related to politics, our current unit.
