Donald Trump was showing his gracious side after Wednesday's GOP presidential debate, saying he thought all 11 candidates on the main stage did well.
"I think everybody did well. Nobody did poorly," Trump told CNN's Chris Cuomo. "I was very impressed."
He declined to say who he thought did better than others.
"Carly Fiorina is getting good buzz coming out of the debate," Cuomo noted.
"I think she's a very nice person," Trump said. "I think everybody did very well, Chris."
Trump did get in a dig at the host network, CNN, for stretching the debate to three hours.
Earlier in the day, Trump tweeted that CNN was "milking" the debate, for which it reportedly raised ad rates from $5,000 for a 30-second spot to $200,000.
"Three hours is probably a record-setting long debate. But I guess you're selling a lot of commercials during that," Trump said. "But they were very professional the way they handled it. CNN did a very good job."
