Trump proved tonight that he can win the General. He took continuous fire from both sides as well as some from the moderators and he stayed calm, answered his accusers and stayed above their mud slinging.
Neither Cruz nor Rubio would have fared as well in Trump’s place. In fact, they both sounded like children at least part of the time and they were part of the attack team.
Did you notice that he ran out of patience finally after Wolfie seemed to be singling him out, “Answer me these questions three ..”.
At that point Frik and Frak were on either side of him and looking at him like he was food.
So he said, “Hey, wait a second!” That made him human I thought. And Blitzer backed off.
The numbers say he can’t win the general.
He got battered heavily and didn’t do well in response to it. Cruz scored a couple of good points when he talekd about the media eating up the Republican nominee having to defend himself on a fraud case and when he tlked aobut how Donald can’t prosecute the case against Hillary because of his donations to the Clinton Foundation.
Rubio scored with the hit on The Don for employing illegal aliens (completely true, BTW) — although that would have been even stronger had he noted that Trump is currently using illegal workers to build his hotel in DC.
I guess when he says he’ll let the “good ones” back in, he means the ones who work for him.
Every candidate but Trump promised to release their tax returns — both Ted and Marco said they’d do it within the next few days — but Trump falsely claimed he “can’t” release his because he’s being audited. (Being audited does not prevent him from releasing his returns.) That he’s been audited for 12 years in a row, as he said, doesn’t speak well of him. What’s the red flag that has caused him to be audited, and why doesn’t he want us to see it?
His responses on most everything else were either repetitive, weak, or both.
I came away thinking the same thing. If an independent were watching, they saw a far more reasonable candidate in Trump and a couple of of petulant children at his sides.
Hilarious at one point they were talking at the same time, and he’s in the middle. Funny.
