The GOP clown car: a few random thoughts

Kari Chisholm

Quick notes on the GOP debate:

• Trump got booed on immigration. Wow.

• Marco Rubio is the youngest guy on the stage. But he looks even younger than that.

• I love the Christie vs Paul slapfight.

• Ted Cruz thinks that we can end terrorism by having a president who says three magic words -- "radical Islamic terrorism". Wow, those are some seriously magic words.

• I don't think any of these guys understands the Sunni / Shiite thing. It's not that hard: it's just like the Catholics and Protestants in Ireland.

• Why is Ben Carson a presidential candidate?

• Jeb Bush can't believe he has to share a stage with these clowns.

• I think Megyn Kelly is pro-choice. She asked the sharpest and toughest abortion question you can ask a pro-lifer: if abortion is murder, why would you allow it in the case of rape and incest?

• John Kasich got cheers from the crowd when he said he went to a gay wedding. Awesome.

• 10 candidates and two of 'em are pastor's kids and one's a televangelist.

• I'm not in the target audience, but I think John Kasich won this debate with GOP primary voters.
