No surprises with the fourth Drudge debate poll. The New York Times has a different opinion:
There was no runaway winner of the fourth Republican presidential debate on Tuesday night, according to commentators, journalists and pundits who watched. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas drew some scolding for an “oops” moment when he failed to name five agencies he wanted to eliminate, and Donald J. Trump may be remembered for shushing Carly Fiorina. But unlike after earlier debates this cycle, no consensus emerged about the outcome.
“Carly showed why she should not be counted out yet. She speaks like a caring grandmother, and she has to be the calmest neoconservative I’ve ever seen on a stage speaking about the Middle East. She spoke calmly and coolly on every issue that came her way, and some issues that didn’t.” — Joe Cunningham, of Red State.
“Epic Loser: John Kasich. Just bad on every front. Epically bad. Looked rude, old, desperate, cheap, and wildly wrong on many fronts.” — Glenn Beck, a conservative radio host.
“Here is John Kasich speaking some common sense on immigration reform. Sorry Donald Trump, you aren’t shipping 11 million ANYWHERE.” — Roland Martin, host of “NewsOne Now,” a Washington-based television program focused on African-American issues.
