Best one liner was definitely the closing statement about the front-runner celebrity without substance.... Hillary.

like trump's abortion answer, clearly not focus grouped at all, just "i know a guy who was an unwatned baby and he's awesome"

if he wanted to flip-flop on that later, voters would find it totally reasonable. unlike everyone else beating the poo poo out of planned parenthood for the anger vote
"Yeah, turns out: that kid? Not so awesome"

was the second weakest technical speaker after Rubio, who is really not ready for Primetime.

My (non-American, non-political) wife thought Rubio looked and sounded most presidential, FWIW. I don't think he came across as too bad, all things considered.
Bush wasn't nearly as good as he needed to be though. I expect Trump, Kasich and Rubio to rise in the polls and Bush to drop after this.
