Fox Business and moderators Neil Cavuto and Maria Bartiromo had one main goal: to do better than CNBC’s disastrous handling of the previous presidential debate that had the candidates, the audience, and the RNC complaining for days.

In the lead-up to the debate, the network ran ads assuring viewers that unlike the previous debate, this time the “real issues” would be discussed.

In his opening statement, Cavuto made sure to clarify the purpose of the debate — to discuss “the economy and what each of you would do to improve it. No more, no less.”

And they did — for the most part.

This debate focused more on policies and less on petty personal arguments and lashing out at the moderators.

The candidates talked about taxes, job growth, wages, and higher education reform.

The candidates were allowed to have substantive discussions about their differing plans, such as Marco Rubio and Rand Paul’s exchange about their tax plans and military spending.

In our view, Rubio and Paul were both winners of the night.

Rubio stood out with comments on higher education reform and the need for more vocational training.

Paul had his strongest performance in a debate so far. He got plenty of speaking time and was able to make his points. He even got the best of an exchange with Trump, correcting Donald’s mistake when he said China is part of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement.

The biggest losers of the night were Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who got quite a bit of airtime by interrupting everyone, but failed to make good points when he was given the opportunity to speak.

Kasich solidified his position as a moderate, calling Trump’s immigrant deportation plan “silly” and unrealistic. However, he was booed by the audience after an exchange with Sen. Ted Cruz in which he defended his willingness to bail out banks in the event of a financial collapse.

Pollster Frank Luntz said that Kasich received the “lowest score ever” in his focus group for that comment.

Another loser was, once again, Jeb Bush. Bush stumbled out of the gate at the beginning of the debate and didn’t pick up any momentum as time went on. He didn’t participate in several of the multi-candidate conversations, only really speaking when he was directly questioned by the moderators, and generally failed to stand out from the crowd.
