A very large percentage of the questions were either related to or directly drawn from some political attack launched by the candidates at each other.
These are not policy questions, they are amplifications of someone else's attack and do not belong in anything that is put forward as a "debate".

It was like being at a dysfunctional family dinner...
"Judy says you said ........... What's your answer to that?"

I agree with Kasich.
