I only got to see the first part of the Republican Presidential Debate on Thursday. I found it entertaining and well done. I am very impressed with the field this year. Even the candidates that I hope come up short sounded solid on the issues that I heard addressed. It was great to see them going after each other and maintain a good humor about it all. They had the chance to speak up.
I also felt like the panel asking the questions did a good job of asking hard questions and trying to get the candidates to answer. On the first part thumbs up. On the second part, well, at least they tried. How many times in a limited venue can you try to pin down a slippery politician?
It is going to be an interesting season. I hope that the ones who have little chance will start dropping out and throwing their support behind someone else so that we have a clear choice between a moderate and a conservative when it gets to California. The moderates who have been nominated in the past were all good men and would have made good presidents but they were not the best choices.
Our country needs the best after we have had the worst.
Remember that elections matter.
