This is a great article, except for the line:
“The Republican party will no longer be the party of Coolidge, lost in the cobwebs of history...”
Actually, being the party of Coolidge sounds just fine to me, and I bet old Cal would be mighty pleased with Ted Cruz right about now.
Timeless truths are timeless.
Rubio only "won" in the minds of the establishment pundits. Cruz only fared somewhat better.
Trump won the last 3 debates.
Time for Cruz to take the mantle. The only truly electable candidate the Conservatives have and who can actually beat Hillary. The Trumpoonery-Buffoonery needs to end and the others as well need to leave the stage.
Anti-Establishmentarianism is best delivered by Cruz.
Cruz is a once-in-a-generation candidate. Reagan was the last.
Trump could have pulled his pants down and mooned the moderators and those same people would claim he won the debate. Most of those people aren’t voting on the basis of things actually said.
An online web site vote is not a “poll.” They’re meaningless. Quoting them is a comical effort.
Cruz won the only scientific poll of the debate that I saw, the NBC News/SurveyMonkey poll. Trump cane in 3rd:

Thanks. You saved me a lot of typing.
Marco Rubio is now(buh bye Yeb) the defacto candidate of the Vichy Republicans and MSM so if he can fog up a mirror he will be proclaimed to be “ a fast rising candidate”
Too bad both Cruz and Rubio are running. They are splitting the same vote. If one were to drop out early enough, the other would break out of the pack. Either one would give the country a real choice against Hillary or whatever socialist the Democrats nominate.
The Survey Monkey is, in fact, an online poll, just FYI. But as for other polls, this one from OAN which matches the results on Drudge., et al:

This movie was, coincidentally, on one of the cable stations last night.

I think this reflects their status in the polls more than who actually won a debate. Winning a debate is really the delta between your pre-debate poll and post debate poll.
I’m not trashing Trump with this comment but using it as an example as the numbers are completely made up.
If Trump is polling at 30% pre-debate(and leading all GOP), Carson is polling 22% pre-debate (in 2nd place) and Cruz is polling 10% pre-debate(and in 3rd place).
After the debate Trump is still #1 in the polls but at 25%, Carson #2 at 19%, and Cruz #3 at 18%...then Cruz won the debate. But if you poll who won the debate Trump would still win because his supporters would still choose him since he didn’t do poorly and held his own.
Who does the OAN poll? I am loathe to give too much credence to a poll from a “network” that has only been in business for a couple of years, and has no track record on the accuracy of their poll results yet. That is not to say they are wrong, just to say that there is nothing to support the idea that they are right...
