The Fifth Republican Debate Ends In A Nine-Way Draw

The Republican debate in Las Vegas on Tuesday night had the feeling of a soccer match that ended in a nil-nil draw. It was a tactical and defensively minded affair, full of technically competent but predictable performances. The only candidates who broke form were those who didn’t have much to lose.

This is interesting considering that no Republican candidate should feel all that secure about his or her position in the race. CONT.
