Didn't catch the early debate (I thought it started at 5, but it was 4), but I heard Fiorina was the clear winner.

I too am surprised more people didn't seem to hit Trump over his admission that he bought politicians. I want to say Rubio later had a perfect chance when talking about supporting small business, and he could have said something like "I want to protect the small businessman who can't afford to buy a politician..." I think the Kelly attack on him dominated more people's minds.

I too am a Cruz fan, and he did well with what time they gave him (I really wanted someone to yell at the moderators to give others more time rather than just ask Trump a billion questions). A slight misstatement in his closing comments, but still very strong and presidential imo (but I'll admit I'm biased).
