I think the debate went well last night, without Trump. I don't think his absence helped him any, but I doubt it really did much damage other than in Iowa.

To me, it was obvious that Rubio showed very well and if anyone was considered the winner, it would be him. Although, the rest of the candidates looked pretty polished and other than the beating that Cruz received, all did pretty well.

I am still leaning toward Rubio, even with his lack of experience. Even if that choice does not turn out to be the optimum selection of the group, he is still predicted to most easily beat Hillary. That is IF the FBI doesn't indict her first.

With all the available evidence, it makes one wonder why they haven't indicted Hillary yet. Perhaps they are searching for a way of vindicating her instead of prosecuting her? Why else would it take so long with so much damning evidence publicized?
