Carly Fiorina was the  winner, especially in the first part of the debate. Her answers were clear and she won set, game, match in the brief exchange about Donald Trump’s boorish comments on her looks.
But Carly Fiorina lost some ground as the debate wore on. The exchange with Trump over her stewardship of Hewlett-Packard went to Trump. And Chris Christie beat them both in what was his best moment. “Stop playing the games,” he said of their back and forth about their respective careers, saying they should speak instead to “the 55-year-old construction worker…who doesn’t have a job, who can’t fund his child’s education.” E.J.
