HERE IS JUST THE A- LIST…GO TO THE SITE FOR THE ALSO RANS

14. MARCO RUBIO: These two guys back-to-back were the stars of the evening.  Rubio’s strong positions on foreign policy are well known, but it was on a subject for which he is often criticized that he shined on Monday night. He had by far the most detailed and cogent position on solving the eternal immigration problem, which he broke down into three phases.  1. Complete border control that would have to be proven to the American public before anything else goes forward. That would include electronic verification for visas, a bigger problem in many ways than the border.  2. Modernize legal immigration by not basing it any longer on family relationship but on actual contributions to our society.  3.  Once this is established, offer work permits (not citizenship) to those illegals who remain and are not criminals.  Makes sense to me.  Grade: A-.

13. TED CRUZ: Cruz was on his game Monday night, crisp, intelligent, to the point in his opposition to what he he calls the Washington Cartel.  He also made clear his opposition to the Iran deal in strong terms, calling Obama the world’s biggest sponsor of terrorism for releasing over $100 billion to the Iranians to finance Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and who knows who else.  They say Cruz has lost the most from the Trump ascendancy.  Maybe he’ll come back.  Grade: A-.
