In last night’s Republican debate, Jeb Bush tried to revive his campaign by attacking Marco Rubio for missing Senate votes, poll leaders Donald Trump and Ben Carson did not dominate and Ted Cruz led the way in criticizing CNBC’s debate moderators for asking questions that he thought were disrespectful and slanted.

Republican strategist Paris Dennard singled out John Kasich and Chris Christie for staying on-message and above the fray. He joins Here & Now‘s Jeremy Hobson to discuss the debate.
