My pleasure!
Sounds like the toughest debate Trump faced yet.
Referencing your post here ...

Best line of the night:
CRUZ: Relax.
TRUMP: I am relaxed. You’re the basket case.
[unquote]
Quoting you here to both reference a debate summary but also to point something out ...
‘Rubio and Cruz can make all kind of technical points but no one seriously thinks Trump is weak on immigration, or the second amendment.’
[Right. His immigration policy [copied in its entirety in post 139] is not only sound but a riveting read despite its length.]
More about your remarks coming up.
Trump likes to buy solutions on the cheap and refuses to buy trouble.
You posted:
‘They have a bit more to go on with abortion but even then Trump has signed on to defund planned parenthood over abortion and promised evangelicals that he will not betray them and I frankly believe him.’ [unquote]
That is buying a solution on the cheap. Planned Parenthood is an Unholy Grail to the left. And how much does it drain our budget? Peanuts.
So he cuts Planned Parenthood in half while keeping them from cutting any more babies in half. Solution ... avoiding the ‘war on women’ minefield while saving innocent lives.
Here’s how he refuses to buy trouble ... GW in Iraq.
How does it help Trump’s campaign to carry GW’s baggage with him? He refuses to buy it. Doesn’t mean he’ll be an isolationist. Doesn’t force him into any goofy campaign promises. Just keeps him clear of trouble.
During key presidential elections, winning comes first. But during all other elections, informed patriots can afford to be more educational about history. That’s something Trump is teaching me.
I see that subtlety is not wasted on you.
Addressing a complaint about Trump supporters ...
Yeah, all conservatives should look down on the riffraff that supports Trump. Drive them off to the DNC. Let them vote democrat.
Who cares that a crossover vote to Trump is almost always out of true support rather than primary mischief?

Copying another debate remark here. Unknown poster.
‘I thought the funniest line tonight was when Rubio was doing his upper cuts... He said ‘you hired illegal immigrants,’ people without documentation
...and trump says ...
‘You’ve never hired anybody.’
Cruz just bought all of Rubio’s political baggage ...
Cruz: Rubio would be better president than Trump

Trump and his Evil Polish Immigrants
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3402588/posts
Trump hired Polish illegal immigrants thirty years ago and that is unforgiva-bubble.
He should have had the foreshight 30 years ago to predict that some illegals might be terrorists, and cried, “Citizen’s Arrest!”
/sarc
How evil were these Polish illegals? Did they flee from the Soviet Bloc? Shouldn’t they have been allowed to defect to the USA legally in the first place?
I mean, maybe he could have called David Booth to have pyschic dreams and predict that we need better immigration policy. So with that lack of vigilance I can very much understand his critics.

Calling people ‘brown shirts’ tends to not only alienate but also to make the other side look inhuman. Nazis did the same with the Jews — call them dirty vermin.
Now that Nazis are the dirty vermin, the best way to dehumanize? Call people nazis.

McConnell Says Republicans Will Drop Donald Trump ‘Like A Hot Rock’ If He Wins GOP
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3402814/posts
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has assured Senate candidates running for reelection that they can run ads against Donald Trump even if he wins the GOP nomination for president.
According to the New York Times, senators attending private lunches with the Majority Leader have been advised to take the position that Donald Trump will lose badly in the general election and should prepare themselves for a Hillary Clinton presidency.
People sense that they can trust Trump while Cruz supporters have trouble trusting anyone ever period end of story.
So they can only support someone who has every base in order, nice and tidy like Joxer the Mighty who always guards his rear.
And then to justify their position they need to villify Trump or claim that we are ‘immune to information’.
A lively and insightful discourse on Cruz, Trump, Trade, and the Establishment

Quoting you here for reference purposes ...
Despite Cruz’s attacks on his party’s donor class and establishment, the Texas senator Ted Cruz’s GOP campaign has received $37 million from just four donors.
The Wilks family of Cisco, Texas, New York hedge fund tycoon Bob Mercer, Texas energy investor Toby Neugebauer and Illinois manufacturing moguls Dick and Liz Uihlein.

Is Trump a monster? That would mean the following:
1. Herman Cain is in on it.
2. Chris Christie is in on it.
3. Phyllis Schlafly is being duped.
4. Jerry Falwell, Jr is being duped.
5. Michael Savage, probably the most paranoid anti-establishment talk radio host around, is also being duped.
6. And last but not least — Sarah Palin is ‘in on it’.
7. Sheriff Joe Arpio is being duped.
8. Will Robertson [Duck Dynasty] is being duped despite his father’s support of Cruz.
9. Sarah Palin is in on it.
10. And Jeff Sessions knee-deep in it. [via his top aide]
