Jeb at tonight's debate -- "Commanding" "Nailed It" "Strong"
Halftime report -"That may be the best Hillary Clinton can do, but it's not the best America can do." Good line from Jeb. #GOPDebate
https://twitter.com/
Stephen Hayes @stephenfhayes
That's a pretty strong answer from Jeb Bush on regulation - with details on what he'd eliminate and a shot at Hillary Clinton to finish.
https://twitter.com/
Charles C. W. Cooke @charlescwcooke
That was an excellent answer from Jeb.
https://twitter.com/
Frank Luntz @FrankLuntz
"That's the best Hillary can do but not the best America can do" is @JebBush's best #GOPDebate line yet.
Scored 82 with cons, 86 with mods

Adam Smith @adamsmithtimes
Def Jeb's best debate
https://twitter.com/
So much of the talk about tax reform is too abstract to matter to voters, whose eyes tend to glaze over. Jeb wisely humanized his answer.

Benjy Sarlin @BenjySarlin
This is the Jeb answer he's been waiting four debates for. Knocked it out of park, made core electability argument with passion.

Tom Rogan @TomRtweets
That was Jeb's best moment. #GOPDebate

F. Bill McMorris @FBillMcMorris
That was Jeb's best line of the campaign.

It...
Pundits Agree, “Ted Cruz Wins the Night”
Scores With Voters On Immigration And National Security
HOUSTON, Texas
– By almost all accounts Presidential candidate Ted Cruz was one of –
if not the – big winner from last night’s Republican
Presidential Debate in Milwaukee. Below is a sample of what
people are saying:
“Ted
Cruz
wins
the
night…
Ted
Cruz
had
a
terrific night. He had a stand-out
answer on immigration and wages and made his own fortune by getting
into an argument with John Kasich on bank bailouts, enunciating the
anti-bailout position forcefully and repeatedly…He was pointed,
eloquent, and, of course, very conservative.” – Rich
Lowry
“Cruz
really
won
tonight.
He
had
just
a
stellar
performance. Every word was
memorable. Every line was precisely delivered. His defense of his tax
plan was solid.” – Erick
Erickson
“I
thought
Ted
Cruz
was
very
strong.
I
thought
he had substantive answers
that were well delivered…I thought he was just impressive.” – Bill
Kristol
“Ted
Cruz,
fabulous
night.
He
followed
up on
a
great
night in
the previous
debate. He had more time than he had in other debates. I
think you got
to see the knowledge and substance and passion. I would say
by far
Ted Cruz probably had the best night of everybody.” – Sean
Hannity
“.@TedCruz
just
hit
94
by
saying
all
the
rules that apply to America will apply to
Congress.” – Frank
Luntz
“.@TedCruz
scores
big
(hits
98)
with
‘I'm
tired
of
being told I'm anti-immigrant.
It's offensive.’ Actually outscores Trump on immigration.” – Frank
Luntz
“I
think
it
goes
Cruz,
Rubio,
Fiorina.”
–
Bret
Baier
“Cruz
is
showing
why
so
many
insiders
think
he'll eventually be in the final
two or three when the field winnows” – Chuck
Todd
“I
think
that
is the
best
moment Ted Cruz had
in the
debate
last
night was talking about immigration in
the way he did.” – John
McCormack
“[Cruz]
had
a
very
good
night.”
–
Jonah
Goldberg
“Ted
Cruz
proved
that
he
didn’t
need
to
assault
the media to turn in an
impressive performance… it was the strong answer to the bailout
question that put him over the top in my view. The contrast was
obvious… none of [the other candidates] gave a clear answer on what
they would do differently in the same situation. Then Cruz absolutely
dominated it.” – Ben
Domenech

Kasich for America
November 11, 2015
LAST NIGHT'S DEBATE: WHAT THEY'RE SAYING
John Zogby, Forbes: John Kasich – was able to explain his experience, his success in DC and Ohio, and for being a compassionate conservative. He also carved out a role for himself as an adult, particularly on illegal immigration... he could be the last moderate standing.TIME: Ohio governor John Kasich swung hard at Donald Trump’s immigration plan in the Republican primetime debate Tuesday night, calling the business mogul’s plan to deport 11 million undocumented workers “a silly argument.”
“In 1986 Ronald Reagan basically said the people who were here, if they were law abiding, could stay,” Kasich said. “We need to control our border just like people have to control who goes in and out of their house.”
Washington Post Blog: But it was Ohio Gov. John Kasich who led the backlash against Trump.
“Come on folks, we all know you can’t pick them up and ship them across the border,” Kasich retorted to Trump. “Think of the families, think of the children” that would be deported under the Trump plan: “It’s a silly argument, it’s not an adult argument – it makes no sense.”
New York Times: In the most substantive Republican debate so far, Mr. Kasich and Mr. Bush, who have been fading in polls, presented themselves as experienced chief executives who had practical solutions to deal with national challenges like immigration.
The splintering over immigration, in a campaign dominated so far by the personas, speeches and backgrounds of the candidates, illuminated the brightest dividing line between Republican hopefuls like Mr. Bush and Mr. Kasich, who favor a comprehensive immigration overhaul, and the many primary voters who have embraced Mr. Trump’s harsh language about immigrants in the country illegally.
Wall Street Journal: The turn to policy gave a fresh opportunity for elected officials such as Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Gov. John Kasich of Ohio to reassert themselves over the political novices whose anti-establishment campaigns have set the tone of the primary contest.
Daily Beast: The Ohio governor's confrontation with Trump seemed to push the blustery tycoon off balance, and garnered some applause from the audience.
Rand Paul for President
November 10, 2015
Rand Paul Stands Out and Roars Back
"I want a government really, really small, so small you can barely see it," Senator Paul said. "I want lower taxes and much more money in the private sector." He held other Republicans accountable for the hidden entitlements in their proposals, arguing against tax credits that would harm growth. He also advocated against belligerent defense spending, saying, "I want a strong national defense, but I don't want us to be bankrupt."
Senator Paul also argued that we must rein in the executive overreach of President Obama's imperial presidency: "So much power has gravitated to the executive branch, Congress is a bystander. We don't write the rules."

Joe,
Strong, Confident Command of the Issues. That's exactly what Marco demonstrated on the debate stage in Milwaukee tonight. It's exactly what we need in our next President and Commander in Chief.
During a debate focused on jobs and the economy, Marco stated clearly what must first precede a strong American economy: "We can't even have an economy if we're not safe."
Click here to let Marco know you agree and chip in $7 to help him take this message to voters across the country.
As he has during every one of the previous debates, Marco stood head and shoulders above the rest of the stage.

DNC Statement on 4th GOP Debate
WASHINGTON – DNC Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz released the following statement tonight in response to the fourth Republican presidential primary debate:“It’s fitting the GOP field was gathered in Wisconsin this evening to talk about the economy, since they’re all peddling economic plans that would foist a Scott Walker-esque economy on the rest of America – no equal pay legislation, opposing action to address climate change, and attacking policies that help middle-class workers, to name just a few lowlights.
“There was a lot of discussion tonight about cutting services that families depend on to pay for more tax breaks for the wealthy, but decades of experience prove that approach is ineffective in producing real economic growth that benefits and grows the middle class. It’s just another page from the tired, old Republican playbook that helps the well-connected at the expense of working families.
“The candidates really couldn’t help themselves tonight. Jeb Bush continues to promote his roundly debunked plan to grow the economy. Ted Cruz forgot to mention that passing comprehensive immigration reform would have increased real GDP by $1.4 trillion. And Donald Trump and Ben Carson flat out said they wouldn’t raise the minimum wage for bogus reasons, while Marco Rubio said doing so would be a disaster. A disaster? The disaster is what would happen to the middle class if any one of these candidates were to become president.
“Sometimes I think that the Republican candidates forget it’s not just Republicans who are watching these debates. Each time they reveal their terrible positions and pander to their Tea Party base, they convince more voters that it is indeed the Democratic Party and our nominees who have their backs and will go to the mat for them to ensure the economy works for everyone.
“I’m looking forward to our next Democratic debate on Saturday in Iowa because each of our candidates is talking about moving our nation forward by prioritizing the issues that invest in and strengthen the middle class: raising the minimum wage, prioritizing paid family leave, protecting the Affordable Care Act and enrolling more Americans in health care plans, quality education for our kids, and continuing the progress under President Obama that has led to 68 consecutive months of private-sector job growth and five percent unemployment.”

Priorities USA Statement On Tonight’s GOP Debate
“Tonight’s debate was more of the same anti-middle class policies from a tired Republican field that will pad the pockets of millionaires and do nothing to strengthen hardworking families across the country. What began with numerous GOP candidates arguing that we shouldn’t raise the minimum wage because paying people more is bad for the economy (they really believe this) continued with two hours of economic absurdity that will keep Politifact busy for weeks. The GOP’s anti-middle class agenda on display tonight contrasted sharply with Hillary Clinton’s lifelong commitment to standing strong for American families. Republicans couldn't be more out of touch and Jeb Bush was right—Democrats were high-fiving.”

CTR STATEMENT AND
WORD COUNT: REPUBLICANS BLUFF, THEN FOLD ON AMERICA’S MIDDLE CLASS
Washington, DC — At tonight’s debate, all eight Republicans on stage showed us their playing cards. Instead of offering any new economic proposals to aid middle-class and working families, the Republicans still have the deck stacked in favor of those at the top.
“Republicans
spent
more
time
than
ever
before
at
a
debate talking about Hillary
Clinton, mentioning her a whopping 47 times. The Republicans still have
not yet offered anything but tired and failed economic policies of the
past that will hurt every day Americans. While Hillary Clinton has
proposed economic policies that encourage job creation and invest in
families and communities, Republican candidates for president continued
tonight to deal Americans a bad hand by advocating for trickle-down
economics, tax breaks for the rich, and more extreme and out of date
policies that have failed us in the past,” said Brad Woodhouse,
President of Correct The Record.
“Tonight these Republicans confirmed they are willing to gamble with the livelihoods of hard-working Americans for political gain. In these debates about the economy, ‘Hillary Clinton’ was mentioned six times more often than the ‘middle class’ - if that doesn’t make it clear where the Republican candidates priorities are, I don’t know what will.”
Word Count:
College Affordability: 0
Equal Pay: 0
Middle Class: 8
Income Inequality: 7
Hillary Clinton: 47

GOP Debate #4: The "Substantive" Debate Full
of Softball Questions and Truth-Dodging Answers
Jon Ralston @RalstonReports: I'm amused that so much of post-debate analysis is how "substantive" discussion was and how great the questions were. Neither is true. ½ [11/11/15, 10:15 a.m. EDT]
Jon Ralston @RalstonReports: Too many candidates, too many softballs ("Is Hillary as great as she seems?"), too many talking points. No real "debate," per se. Again. 2/2 [11/11/15, 10:16 a.m. EDT]
It didn't take tough questions, though, to expose deep rifts in the Republican Party. If the goal of this debate was to show a unified Republican vision for the future of our country, it failed miserably.
TIME: Why the GOP Debate Didn't End the Party's Crisis
Washington Post: We’re finally seeing the deep fault lines at the heart of the GOP nomination battle
Washington Post: On foreign policy, the GOP candidates are ‘all over the map’
All the GOP candidates ducked history and dodged the truth, only responding to questions they felt like answering and refusing to acknowledge the reality that the economy does better under Democratic presidencies.

The only winner in last night’s debate was Hillary Clinton, which makes one thing crystal clear: If a Republican is elected president, hard-working Americans will most certainly lose.
