Some Thoughts On the Debate Last Night and Candidates for Republican Nomination
Carly won. However, if you remember last go around, Gingrich also blew it away-yet he was not the nominee
2. Most of the candidates come off somewhat hapless and unPresidential
3. Paul and Carly were the only two I remember mentioning rights
4. Cruz and Trump were the only ones to call out Congress
5. No real questions about fixing/building the economy
6. Too much emphasis on the Border. I mean it's not a big plan issue. Just say you'll secure it. why get into details? BUT, the economy and wealth creation need to have a plan to sell to voters. One of my favorite comedies, Modern Family has a character who is always asking her ADD husband-"What's the PLAN PHIL?" that is my question for them. Hermann Cain did that well with his 9-9-9 plan. At first I thought it hokey, but it got people thinking and it was simple and covered the major bases. To be a successful front runner, I think you need a plan kinda like that. Regulation killing, agency checking, tax overhaul (abolish the IRS) and wealth creation-those can be articulated fairly simply. Foreign policy is harder and more controversial, so I would not make it my cornerstone(as Rand is currently doing).
What did I miss and what are your thoughts on what the candidates need to do in order to stand apart from the pack?
