The last debate was borderline policy only.

Lincoln-Douglas style would just be Trump vs. Cruz.

Would be a WONDERFUL way of getting down to the policy differences between the two men.

They should stipulate that only those with a mathematical ability to win the nomination can participate. (Suck on that Kasich!)

Alas, it will never happen. Trump is too nervous to rock the apple cart I think...

But mathematically, its a long road for him with Cruz in the race, each candidate needs to get the other to screw up to have a shot at winning outright.

Cruz is a drag on a TRUMP ticket, certainly in a General Election.

After TRUMP succeeds in breaking the Establishment, the RNC and Cheap Labor Express in half, it seems a shame to be forced into taking on the dead weight of Cruz who is literally owned by the CLExpress, and Wall Street enablers, and hated by the senate.

Cruz brings nothing to the ticket that TRUMP has not already won without him, but in spite of him.

Maybe Jeff Sessions is the answer. He is honorable, supports TRUMP and has kept his head down, has no enemies and is a sage on the very issues that TRUMP has centered his campaign around.

Sorry to be so cranky but these remaining kooks have lost on their own, are the antithesis of everything TRUMP has in mind to do, and neither are trustworthy.

Who does Kasich staying in hurt? Speaking mathematically.

I think no one much, but Cruz for sure, according to the howling coming from Cruz, Fiorina, and Beck today.

Did your read that thread that from some unheard of source claiming Cruz campaign operative is saying that Cruz is dealing now with TRUMP? Seems he wants on the Supreme Court.

I don’t believe it, but then Cruz is a climber and wants what he wants. Supposedly he wants to “deal” now from a “position of strength”, knowing it will soon “evaporate”. Who knows...

Cruz is the last one to talk about being intellectually honest.

I see Lyin’ Ted accepted a MARCH 21ST invitation to AIPAC.

Oh, yeah, that was the scheduled date for the next Fox debate.

Trump committed to that date long ago—what’s the Canadian-come-lately’s excuse?

If the 2 of us know that kasich is helping trump and hurting Cruz, then so does Kasich. If Kasich wants the VP slot then I don’t want him to have it. If Kasich wants anything, then I want the opposite.

The Fox debates are just star turns for Twinkie Girl and serve no purpose other than ratings. They have been an embarrassment from the get-go. Trump oughta tell them to go away for good.

The end of the contest was getting Marco out.

Its all over now.

No debates necessary.

Hear that? You know what you are hearing? Deals being made behind closed doors.

The fact that Trump is not tweeting should put everyone on notice that things are happening behind the scenes...

That’s his tell.

Cruz is becoming the guy who never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity. I was in his column but he’s just another Republican with a tin ear.

Hey guess what RNC set up 12 debates max on January 16, 2015. Therefore, when Donald says its over...its over.

They would need to get the consent of the remaining participants.

They only agreed for up to 12.

End of story.

Kasich is playing a spoiler role

There is always this idea that one more debate or maybe the next state primary... or maybe some alignment of the planets will change the ongoing status. The media cheers on the ridiculous point that Ohio changes anything.

Cruz and Kasich had their debate opportunities - result was nuthin'. Cruz has even tried running to the left of Pol Pot with his blaming of Trump for the mob violence - result was nuthin'.

So now what - another 40 million of negative ads, or maybe 100 million negative ads run in the expensive eastern media. Can't wait.

It should have been a no-brainer, nobody wants any more useless debates other than the network that wants to host it.........

Every other breath from Team Cruz is an attack on Trump. Pathetic.
