The clear winner was Rubio. As a progressive, I can only be thankful that his campaign has been so mismanaged that it is too little, too late. He was articulate, persuasive and personable.
Trump was running out the clock looking forward to another good night on Tuesday. He was restrained and modulated, as close as he can get to presidential. By emerging unscathed, he also won. He made the big news of the night. As all of us who follow him knew, he will not self finance his general election campaign. He said that although he committed to funding his primary campaign, he may accept help from major donors in the general election.
Kasich who won the last two debates by smoothly sailing through choppy waters, was indistinguishable in a sea of civility. Cruz, always in unctuous prosecutorial mode, is wearing thin.
This was the most substantive Republican debate. Ratings will no doubt plummet.
