Republican Presidential Debate: Focus on Fist-lam

Drawing by Bosch Fawstin

Here's a very good rundown on the debate.

From the Last English Prince:

The Republican Presidential debate is focused on Fist-lam tonight.

The Last English Prince watched the first hour and forty-five minutes.

Observations:

*Ben Carson is a class act. He asked for a moment of silence to remember the San Bernardino victims of slaughter.   (The POTUS does not even have the decency to visit the city and express his condolences.)

*Marco Rubio did not directly answer the question, “Why are Republicans wrong if they want to ban Muslims.” (paraphrased)  He skated around the question and was indirect and flanking in his response.

*Fiorina: “Every parent in America is checking social media….” in response to a query as to why DHS has a policy against vetting visa applicants through review of their digital footprint and social media presence.

*There was an interesting dynamic early on.  Wolf Blitzer would pit Cruz against Rubio (two safe choices). But he would not pit either against Trump.  In a sense, it was a move to marginalize Trump from the conversation.
