For what might have been the first time in the campaign, Jeb Bush clearly got the better of Donald Trump in a debate exchange (in this case, on eminent domain). But to repeat a question I asked earlier today: should Chris Christie, having been so effective against Marco Rubio earlier tonight, be attacking too? Their appeal overlaps more than you might not think — maybe not a lot on policy, but plenty on personality. And Christie will need to pick off votes from a lot of places if he’s going to make a last-minute comeback in New Hampshire.
