After last night, Cruz and Rubio will lose votes to Huckabee and Santorum in Iowa. They not only showed up to support Trump but he gave them time on the stage. JMO

the entire debate was focused on his agenda..

the arms of Trumpsters are getting awfully long - from all the stretching of facts they do - Trump is also, no doubt, responsible for the sun getting in the morning

No reading of The Art of War would be complete without Robert Greene’s *The 48 Laws of Power*. Good stuff.

To: The Truth Will Make You Free

That was my first reaction too

But Cruz was in the same spot as General Hood at Franklin after he carelessly let Schofields trapped army sneak by at night 200 yards away while his army slept exhausted and Cheatham who had night orders drank too damned much

The next day he had little choice but to try to crush Schofields army between fortifications and the Harpeth River

It was Agincourt for his army....the Rebel frontal assault heaved it’s last gasp unsuccessfully

Had he listened to Forrest and gave him the flanking forces he needed.....maybe....it was his only chance besides just luck

Cruz didn’t have much choice either

Had to give it a shot

We all knew he’d be the focus once they got Trump bashing out of the way

Trumps key adviser is Lee Atwater associate

Not a stupid man in the hardball game

To: InterceptPoint; All

Agreed.

This spoiled little rich brat would be NOBODY had he not had Daddy’s money to bully his way thru’ life -

He’s crude, rude, and ignorant - talks like a 5th grader - apologies to 5th graders.

He BABBLES - spouts off ‘I WILL Do” about everything - gives NO information on HOW he ‘will do”

He’s a Mutt: cross between Svengali, the Pied Piper and a Carny barker.

(But with the non-education/indoctrination camps of our schools these past few decades, he has the now ignorant masses following him over the cliff - and will take what’s left of our country with them. This, depressingly, includes a lot of FREEPERS - including moles. GOD, it’s time for you to step in! Please)

You see it as a brilliant trap. I see it as Trump wanting to avoid any more tough questions he doesn’t know the answer to.

Actually, you're both probably correct.

Watched the 1956 War and Peace movie a couple of days ago.

Into Russia with 1/2 a million men and out with around 20,000.
