In my opinion I think ether Carly Florina or Marco Rubio won the debate. They both have strong and educated answers, to the questions directed to them, unlike other candidates that used the time to avoid the question or talk about something they thought was more important or relevant. I respect this in a candidate and I believe that the american citizens do as well. They want someone to answer the question and say specifically what they would do and how they would do it. They are both very educated and well spoken which is very important in a president, other than the planned parenthood comment Florine made. I thought as well Dr. Carson did a solid job by makes strong logical and educated comments. He only made one false comment and that was a small mistake in percentages when talking about boarder control, but everything else he said was solid facts and truthful. I would say he isn't the winner because he didn't stand out to the extent Florina or Rubio did. This was because of how soft spoken Carson is. I believe this is the reason many people like him though. He's respectful, passionate, and good at listening and forming intellectually rich perspectives. I see him climing in the poles in the near future wonce more people start noticing him. I would give this debate to Florina because she came in with the majority of Americans now knowing her and came out strong. I have a feeling there's going to be the most talk about her after this debate, disregarding trump. I say this because she is the only women republican, two because she handled her self very well and brought very specific comments and plans to the table, and three debated the candidates with elegance yet confidence.
