Christie mopped the floor with Rubio, and all Marco did was keep stammering the same
phrase.  
Hillary wanted to run against anyone but Rubio... and it looks like Christie may have
helped Hillary run against a weaker opponent.

The problem is that too many folks let the news media spin debates, events, speeches, etc. instead of actually thinking for themselves.  They let the media create a "narrative" and listen to it like children being read a bed time story.  That is the reason that lame leftists think that Hillary and Bill actually care about the poor, the middles class, minorities and women.  That is the reason we got stuck with Obama for 8 years.

Christie muttered out the same phrases over and over again about his being the U.S. Attorney and being Governor. Trump muttered out the same phrase over and over again "elect me and we will win big."   Bush muttered the same phrase over and over about about the generals who have endorsed him.  At least what Rubio  repeating was accurate and meaningful.

The fact is that Rubio was probably the most intelligent person on the stage (along with Carson and Kasich) last night.  Any of those three (Rubio, Kasich, Carson) would make great candidates. Marco Rubio is still the best GOP candidate for the General Election.

Rubio would be the best bet for the GOP.
If I had to vote for one Republican in this field
it would be Kasich.
Carson has no idea of governing anything, and couldn't get elected
dog catcher.

As someone who has actually met Ben Carson, I can honestly say that he is an exceptionally brilliant man and a great leader.  His greatest gift is as a problem solver.  His problem is that he is NOT a politician.  He is not willing to lie and scheme just to get elected.  (that is why what Cruz did to Carson was so offensive .. I can say this .. if Cruz is the GOP candidate and Hillary is the Dem candidate -- I will stay home on election day because there is NO difference between Cruz and Clinton. Both are sleazy, opportunists that have no business being within 1,000 miles of any position of trust.)
Unfortunately, Americans have very rarely elected the most capable people to serve in public office.  American voters are like high school girls.  They say that want to only date nice guys .. yet they only date the popular, dumb jock/thug who gets drunk, screws them, beats them and then spits them out and walks away.

2. Our uninsured rate is at a historic low.

3. He's gotten the rest of the world, including China, to commit to fighting climate change.

4. Iran has given up 99 percent of its uranium peacefully.

Chris Christie just guaranteed that he'd have a VP or Cabinet post in Trump's Presidency.  
One more reason to vote against Bigot Trump.
