27. It's tough

Jan 2016

The two things that stood out to me were:

1. Ben Carson jumping into the conversation to say only that some credible people had looked over his plan and said it was the best of everyone's. There was no follow-up or explanation. I forget what the plan was about...

2. Ted Cruz's long stream of consciousness answer about trade and tariffs with China that wandered into abolishing the IRS, the death tax, Obamacare taxes, etc.

There were probably crazier things said, but those were the most memorable.
