In conventional terms Senators Cruz and Rubio won Thursday nights debate. They were laser focused, quick, smart and passionate. They defended themselves, their records and went on the offensive at all the right times, calling out the moderators on unfair questions that were focused less on policy than on personality.
...........................
But weve learned that conventional wisdom doesnt mean all that much in this election.....................
This is not a field that I expect to get that much smaller anytime soon. It is therefore very clear that the longer this goes on the more Hillary Clinton is benefitted.
In the latest CBS/New York Times poll, 60 percent of Americans said that they wanted to see an outsider in office. And although Cruz has marketed himself as an outsider in the Senate, there are no bigger outsiders in this race than Donald Trump and Ben Carson.
....................................
The upshot is that I dont expect the polls to move much. Were looking at a Republican electorate that wants outsiders and that isnt going to change anytime soon.
Furthermore, the divisions in the Republican party remain strong and obvious. This is not a field that I expect to get that much smaller anytime soon.
It is therefore very clear that the longer this goes on the more Hillary Clinton is benefitted.
It follows that Clinton may have actually been the winner of the evening.
