good morning everybody. it s wednesday, december 16th. welcome to morning joe. what do you think? lindsey graham won the debate. i m with you. lindsey graham was fantastic. mike barnical with us. former communication s director nicole wallace. i loved watching rubio defend a world view that s been beaten up and kicked around. i think he got attacked more and had to defend. i liked his performance and i adore lindsey graham. i think the apology at the very beginning did a lot of good for the republican party. he was incredible. i thought jeb bush was really good. best performance but too late. chris christie again excellent in another debate and donald trump has to be the winner because nobody laid a glove on him and he s up 25 points. i started thinking after the debate this was an inside deal.
