	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams " Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost." - John Quincy Adams

    CRUZ or LOSE!

[FreeAtlanta]

I didn’t feel like reading the article. How many will be on stage tonight?

If more than 4, I will not watch it.

[20yearsofinternet]

Gonna be a slugfest. I hope they can both manage to keep it civil. Probably gonna be tough with an audience full of bought-and-paid political stooges.

We’ll find out soon enough!

Does the Left so viciously attack their own the way the Right attacks the Right? Why is the Right kind of self-destructive? I think somewhere along the line, the Prince of Darkness, who is the Accuser of the Brethren, is in there pitching. I think he leaves the Left alone because he’s already got them, but I think he is VERY interested in defeating the Right’s values of Christian freedom and a strong America. I think Satan, like Obama and the Left, hates America.

You have to know among other things, that spiritual warfare is involved in America’s recovery or downfall. Satan hates America and has allies mainly on the Left, so he leaves the Left alone. His main adversary is the Right so he does everything he can to wreak havoc among those on the Right.

TRUMP/CRUZ 2016!!! 16 YEARS OF RECOVERY IN AMERICA!!!

[MortMan]

I, for one, hope they manage a spirited debate without sliding off into ugliness. Politico, and the rest of the GOPe cabal, simply want Trump and Cruz to damage themselves, seeing how the GOPe has proven itself feckless in that regard.

[heights]

Cruz will come across as a Snarky, Preachy, Condescending jerk, you know, himself.

[euram]

It would be nice if they all surprised us, and stuck to the issues, and reserved their attacks for Clinton, but that’s probably too much to hope for.

[usafa92]

Yawn..Nobody cares. Debate is on at 9:00 on a Saturday night before Valentine’s Day. What is this, debate 8? Many of us have better things we will be doing but just to annoy the Cruisers I’ll be voting for Trump on the Drudge and Time polls without even watching....Ted can attack Trump all he wants, but Jonas Nightengale Cruz is not going to win South Carolina...

[moehoward]

Trump will play rope a dope and come out unscathed.

[jimbo807]

I don’t think Ted will have a good night tonight. Just a hunch.

And the punches will not be coming from Donald...

[AuntB]

With the dirty fund raising tricks the RNC/NRSC/NRCC is pulling on Trump supporters, I imagine it might be a bitter debate tonight.

Mr. Trump isn’t pleased that these outfits are scamming his supporters to finance THEIR SENATE candidates.

From the RNC page you go to to contribute to Trump:

The RNC does not accept contributions earmarked for any candidate or other committee. Contributions are used to fund all RNC programs, and will be spent as the RNC determines within its sole discretion.

They actually tell us after you search for it, that none of the $$ will go to Trump, same thing with the NRCC & NRSC scams.

But Ted gets $$$ from them. From open secrets...top contributors to Cruz

2. Senate Conservatives Fund $315,991

[Kenton]

Yeah, all the pundits are saying it will be a real bloodbath. Sounds like a beer and popcorn night...

[River Hawk]

I hate to see this sort of thing, Trump and Cruz are my two preferred candidates. I’d hate to see them tear each other apart and pave the way for Rubio or the Jebster.

[Enlightened1]

Yep with another GOPe Pro Jeb and Pro Rubio loving audience to give the FALSE PERCEPTION that everyone loves Jeb and Rubio.

[IM2MAD]

I hope Trump asks Cruz what records are sealed and why.

Unseal the records!

[Beagle8U]

“As we approach South Carolina, Trump’s competitors will grow increasingly desperate,” said Seth Weathers, a Trump supporter who briefly served as the businessman’s George state director. “Trump’s tweet was a reminder that he doesn’t take attacks lying down. He never attacks first, but when he responds, he unleashes hell.”

Oh really? Unleashes hell you say?

Would that be like asking Mr. Trump about his connections to Jeffrey Epstein?

Has Trump ever visited Epstein’s pedophile Island? Would he deny it in court?

Face it, Trump will NEVER get the nomination!

[UnwashedPeasant]

The “moderators” do not want an exchange of ideas on the issues.

They want a mudfight, and that benefits Trump, because that is his whole shtick.

[alternatives?]

If the debate consists of each candidates painting their portrait of Hillary, it will truly be an ugly debate. (except for Bush’s and Kasich’s portraits of course).

[SoFloFreeper]

So says Politico.

But Trump just went “nice” on his ads, right?

I am so very SICK and TIRED of the political media and punditry telling us how to think.

[hawaiianninja]

I'm guessing (hoping? hopeful?) that Trump and Cruz won't really attack each other in any mean spirited way.

Love Reagan's quote, btw. :)
