I thought they were gotcha questions, and some were irrelevant (I don't think Marco Rubio's personal bumps in finance matter much, they really belabored it). I do think Carson's relationships do matter...people talked about Rev. Wright out the wazoo, whether Michelle Obama stood for the anthem, etc. The fact that Carson is on the take from shady companies is a big deal. Also, he flat out lied. He has appeared in videos for that company, pushed pseudo-science (even pushed it on stage), and told us that he could not imagine why his picture was on the site. Silly.
Clearly they are having trouble with these 10 person formats where it's very difficult to get anything of substance. I actually thought Kasich made some good points, especially about these phantom tax plans. Cut taxes and revenues will sky rocket because of...ECONOMICS!
