This focus group is poo poo.

Let me, a Republican, give you the real low-down.

The angry crowd is NOT going to ditch Trump for Cruz or Huckabee.

Some of the establishment crowd WILL ditch Bush and Walker - for Rubio.

HTH.

Here is a list of people I would (not) like to see win the Republican primary, from "OH GOD NOT THAT HUCKABEE FUCKER" to "I suppose he's alright."

Mike "Last name autocorrects to both Huckster and Hackable" Huckabee
Rick "I Hate Google" Santorum
Scott "Empty suit filled with Koch Millions" Walker
Lindsey "Let's turn the Middle East into glass" Graham
Marco "I'm terrified he could actually win" Rubio
Ted "The Canadian (no really go look it up)" Cruz
Bobby "Beat LSU worse than 'Bama" Jindal
Chris "A noun, a verb, 'New Jersey', and '9/11'" Christie
Carly "Why my printer doesn't work" Fiorina
Jeb "Fool me twice, you can't get fooled again" Bush
Rick "Wait, you're telling me he's *not* a Bush?" Perry
Rand "father? what father? I don't have a father" Paul
Donald "Yooge" Trump
Oscar Winner Cuba Gooding Jr.
Jim "Who?" Gilmore
George "Governor during 9/11" Pataki
A random cat picked out of the alley with a little bowtie on him
John "Too nice for the GOP" Kasich

beaten, but more generally, people voting for Clinton are basically satisfied with the political establishment and aren't listening to debates at all

there's no point to asking a question formatted like "this other guy is also angry with Washington for exactly the opposite reason as you, distinguish yourself from him"

I want a President Sanders but I know we are not going to get that.
That said, here would be my personal rankings of just GOP candidates:
1. Rand Paul (the Doc Brown of this event)
2. Marco Rubio (not completely horrifying)
3. Dr. Carson (he reminds me of my dad)
4. Jeb!
5. Everyone else
74. Huckabee

Walker and Bush really did precisely jack poo poo to stand out from the crowd here. Kasich probably helped himself the most.

Donald Trump definitely won, though Fox did its best to try and knock him down a peg.
Also, Kasich was the only half-decent human being and nobody likes him in the GOP. :(
