Our summary review of the Politico article (I left out Politico's clear partisan opinions about the unltimate winner, i.e. "the Democrat Party," and its opinion about FoxNews).
‘The best two performances came from John Kasich and Marco Rubio.’
‘Marco Rubio had a big night as did Mike Huckabee.’
‘Everyone can leave that stage thinking that he can fight on for another day.’
In terms of candidates, the winners were the cosmopolitan conservatives—mainly Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush. And I think Kasich probably exceeded expectations, too. Nobody completely fell on their face, but the losers were generally the populists—most specifically, Donald Trump—but I also think Ted Cruz underperformed.
Without ranking winners and losers, I think among some Republicans, there’s going to be a fair amount of buzz about a Kasich-Rubio ticket... with no consensus about the order.
‘We didn’t hear any breakout ideas.’
‘Kasich gave us two rare moments of thoughtfulness and nuance.’
‘Trump will still dominate the conversation until the next debate.’
