As a (former?) Trump supporter, I am starting to get tired of his simple-minded sloganeering, especially when it is combined with insults levied against anyone who asks for greater specificity regarding his policies. Last night's debate was little more than a grade school food fight among the top three contenders, with Trump looking the worst with his "liar, liar" mantra being particularly juvenile. In addition to its being distasteful to women in general, it would do nothing but garner (undeserved) sympathy for Hillary in the general election.
As much as i hate to admit it, Kasich came across as the most Presidential of the candidates (with Carson coming in second). Given the makeup of the electorate, the increasing stridency of Trump, Cruz and Rubio might yet bail out the Democrats from massive repudiation at the polls. Without that result, they are poised to retake the Senate and stymie any Republican initiatives, not to mention gaining an opportunity to confirm any SCOTUS appointments that Obama makes prior to the next President being sworn in.
Please include these considerations when deciding which candidate you support. The length of the next President's coattails may be just as important as who is wearing them.
