Nikki Haley lost me when she started talking about raising the retirement age. Christie is a hired hitman out for Trump, Pence... nah, Vivek is not ready for prime time.
I didn't watch it either...

I watched it .... no value in it ... these debates are basically mud slinging contests .... there is not enough time for candidates to fully put forth their leadership ideas. People need to go find actual interviews (several of them) of the various candidates and not rely on these debates for voting purposes.

I agree. Everyone is in search of the zinger to get replayed on the 24hour news cycle.
I think that Rick Warren had the right idea to allow candidates to get their message out. Have individual interviews answering the same questions.
