Good! I like the way he handled the questions

I especially liked the way he spoke out about Ben Carson whom I abhor

Thank You, Rhiannon!

He not only speaks very well - but he has a sense of humor, too! I only wish that they'd devoted the show to him like they have with some candidates - or guests. I was also impressed when he appeared on Colbert - with his brother - which was when he announced. Or actually his brother did it for him!

I got a kick out of them appearing together since I never could tell them apart before, LOL. And even back then they were speaking out against Trump - who has gotten worse by the day. It's long past time that everyone is finally reporting what we - and those who were paying attention - were noticing and discussing from the first time we heard from him.

And I agree that we have a brilliant lineup of candidates. How anyone can continue to support Trump over any one of them - especially now! - is a complete mystery to me!
