to ben carson's point, his adviser was on our air and acknowledged that ben carson doesn't do well in debates. it doesn't play to his strength. to the point of what voters are looking for, they're not looking for policy but they're looking to see how quick you can think on your feet. i think if you looked at the other night and saw marco rubio, there wasn't a whole lot of substance in that debate, no doubt about it but marco rubio proved to voters, he can think quickly on his feet. that's an attribute. >> and one of the things that pops is his ability to take testing. how he answers it directly or does not, what he counters with you, what his tone is. aren't these meaningful things? anything that happens that doesn't go well for you when i ask a question is a gotcha. >> don't press us. this getting together, do they want to vet the questions?
