All the candidates did well. Even Huckabee didn't sound like a religious crackpot, describing a candidate with the negative characteristics everyone is taking for Trump, "of course I am describing Hillary Clinton." Jeb Bush sounded competent and capable, listening to him you'd imagine Florida example of stability and not the meth lab we keep hearing it to be. Seems to me all the candidates save for Chris Cristie came across very well. Clear winner: Carly Fiorina who wasn't even in it. She out-shined in the earlier happy hour debate for the outlier candidates ahead of Perry and ahead of Jindal by a very broad margin. It appears Trunp forfeited some of his shine. His supporters are reporting changing their minds after seeing Trump in line with the others.
The three FOX moderators did well too.
