I predict that that first debate is going to be an epic, jaw-dropping laff riot. Many candidates will head for the exits or be relegated to obscurity way before Iowa and New Hampshire. This isn’t 2012 or 2008.
Some poor Southern Church has got to be missing their Preacher about now.
He is a big illegal supporter. And a shyster preacher to boot!
Now he is trying to trump Trump!

Don’t know where Paul is. Don’t follow him.
Trump is forcing discussion and debate to the right.
*************
Yes and in doing so he is already performing a valuable service that most of the worthless GOP does not have the political courage to do. In a way, Trump is already leading.
I agree Vet.
Cruz and Trump are going to corner these clowns.
However, I predict they will first trash Trump, then LIE about their own
positions on National TV.
What else can they do but lie?
Yes and release murderer’s from prison.
True enough, but Treasury writes the checks. Just because the money is appropriated, does not mean it has to be spent.

He has set this election on fire and I hope the fire burns deep and long
Paul, who has always called for open borders, is now flipping to pretend he is tough on immigration. Too bad he was in on the gang of 8.
I told my husband tonight, The ship has sailed, the only two on board are Cruz and Trump and Trump is blowing the horn as they pull away from port!
Well done.
