Carson doesn't have a smooth, rapid fire politician's delivery. But he's the smartest guy in the room.
I don't know how you have Huckabee the winner. I think there was no specific winner many did well. I think Rand Paul was weakest. I really like Kasich more and more. Thought Jeb and Carson did better than I expected. Trump is a clown and couldn't give an answer other than brag on quip. He gave no serious answers.
I liked rubio more. But other than his consumption tax, Huckabee is sharp. The tax plan kills me though. Can't vote for him.
