I’d vote for Perot again if I had it to do all over again...And with what we know now, so would most everyone else...

”Ted Cruz, among the more serious tier of candidates, had staked out probably the hardest line on immigration,” says Rick Wilson, a Florida-based Republican consultant. “He touches the same deeply angry, populist, and extremely vocal segment of the GOP that is furious over immigration, illegal and otherwise.

Trump is so funny. He thought everyone was getting their knife out to play mumbley peg. Now he hs media knives in his chest, GOP knives in his flank and Rat knives in his back. He shoulda done a “shock and awe” on the enemedia immediately.

All according to plan. Just like Perot in 1992 and 1996.

Only if the rest of the field isn't smart enough to follow the trail Trump is blazing. Only Senator Cruz was smart enough to say the Donald is right.

Cruz wants that 15% Trump tapped into. All the rest are telling that 15% to learn Spanish. Or FOAD.

Clown Car, right out of the DNC playbook. If not for Trump there would be no discussion about illegal aliens.

Pray America is waking

“...he has the potential to prevent other, more serious candidates on the right from gaining traction.”

In Geraghty’s little mind, I wonder why he would consider Trump so blemished that he cannot possibly be considered a serious candidate. That is the standard meme from liberals in the media. When Reagan ran, after he had been a successful governor of California for eight years, he was a non-serious candidate because he was a Hollywood actor, and too old, and too conservative. As Rush pointed out, (and others on this site also have), these Trump detractors NEVER challenge what Trump is saying, they, (along with a lot of people on this site), just attack Trump.

Dr Ben has said he is right and even Rubio said this afternoon the message was correct. He just questioned the delivery and its results

"That's an incredibly stupid comment."

Classy. You should learn from your boy Cruz on how to handle comments.

“Cruz knows Trump is driving the clown car so when he implodes...”

Just interested — what has Trump said or done that would qualify him to be called a clown? Just one example would suffice.

I realize you are a Trump supporter and were a Perry supporter before that, but how many times do I have to repeat myself? I agree with his comments on ILLEGAL aliens. I repeat...I agree with his comments on ILLEGAL aliens. You can comprehend that simple comment, can't you?

With that said, he is still a LIFELONG LIBERAL DEMOCRAT and as such deserves no serious consideration for the Republican nomination.

If you remain confused in the future please refer back to this post.

He just questioned the delivery and its results.

The no holds barred delivery is part of the winning formula. PC is a turn off for conservatives. Cruz said he does not talk that way but The Donald does and that is OK. Cruz then praised Trump for bringing this important message to the debate.
