They actually asked them direct, detailed questions about their policies and the implications thereof. On the tax issue in particular this is kryptonite for the Republicans, and they know it.

The media narrative of the past three days has been pretty brutal for them IMO. You simply can’t have people pointing out that your la-la-land tax plan blows a $2 trillion hole in the budget. That’s the kind of number even a low-information voter takes note of.

I was doing a Google search on news for Kasich this morning and I saw several articles praising him for telling it like it is and being realistic on taxes, the economy, working with Dems, etc. It seemed many were from fairly conservative sites and publications.

I know he got panned by most as not being successful in the past debate, but I am wondering if that is the media saying he was attacking enough like he said he was going to do, or if he was just out shouted by the others.

It is going to be interesting to see newer polls next week to see what damage the debate did to the GOP candidates.
