Chris Weigant Responds to the Debate

++Weigant wrote his column for the Huffington Post before the MSM tried to congeal behind a consensus leader. Chris Weigant thought the Donald was slightly off but that no one delivered the knockout blow. He commented that ,while Obama was denounced and Hillary was slammed, the bulk of the time was spent going after one another and bemoaning the GOP Congress. 

++He says The Donald won and Carly was the runner-up. More importantly other candidates did not have break out moments. Chris Christie got alot of face time and tried to turn it around by saying,'the election is about you,the American voter". I agree with Weigant this didn't really work. Huckabee,Walker and Rubio didn't get enough face time and probably are doomed. 

++Weigant also picked up on JEB! trying to spend his time breaking out of the pack but failing because, in the words of Josh Marshall, he is stuck in Trump's mud. Weigant says JEB! got the best line of the night by saying his Secret Service name should be "Everready--That's pretty high energy", a reference to Trump dig at him.

++Weigant liked the format--I didn't. I could do without the he said,what's your response. I thought Jake Tapper lost control near the end. 

++Scott Walker spent this morning bemoaning the lack of time he got and that he only answered two questions. I feel that Koch-campaign is heading down.

++Nate Silver at 538 had a roundtable on whether you should buy or sell candidates shares. He says sell Trump,hold Fiorina,maybe hold JEB but he is overpriced.
