Here we are halfway through the week and the day after the Republican debate.

The fourth Republican debates will be talking all about the Republican debate.

The latest from the University of Missouri Plus,

a very interesting TV appearance that I had with Huffington Post Live.

We'll get to all of that.

I'm Ben Shapiro, and this is the Ben Shapiro show.

Tend to demonize people who don't care about your feelings.

All righty, so the big fourth Republican debate happened last night.

It was not as interesting as the previous debates because the moderators did their job.

They stayed out of the way.

The previous debates were sort of like watching a food fight.

It was entertaining, but didn't really accomplish a lot.

Last night, you sort of got a better picture of who the candidate's word. They were given time to talk. The rules were that you had 90 seconds

to answer the questions and 60 seconds for follow-ups. That's a long time to talk. Most people don't

think of how they speak in terms of time length. For those of us who are in radio or TV,

you do think of how much you're talking in terms of time length.

90 seconds is a very long time.

My words per minute ratio is extremely high.

So in 90 seconds, I could probably do about three paragraphs of text.

I mean, that's a lot of room to expound.

And for some folks that's good and for some folks that's bad, to give kind of my brief debate grades, I would say the big winners last night were Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. I thought both of them did very well. I thought the big losers were Jeb Bush, as always, because he just is a big loser, and there's no way around it. And we'll get to all of what everybody had to say in just a moment. but Jeb Bush was a big loser. He's a dead man walking. He doesn't know it. He was joking with Lindsey earlier that we should really just, we should recut Jeb Bush's campaign trailer as the Sixth Sense, where he's just walking around and he's actually dead and everybody in the world knows it, except for Jeb Bush. He's kind of wandering around and interacting with people, but they're not really interacting

with him, but he thinks they are. That's Jeb Bush's candidacy at this point. He needs four more exclamation points, I think, to really put the oomph into his candidacy again. So Jeb Bush did not have a good night. Rand Paul didn't have a good night. He had a couple of great moments, actually, around Paul. But then he proceeded to actually blow them wide open with his isolationism.
