Best: Did a much better job than at the Reagan Library debate in touting his national security credentials. He also communicated his stance on immigration with passion and specifics.

Worst: Still sounds like a House member, and not enough like a president. Offered no personal details or homey touches to allow voters to get to know him, let alone like him.
