Ted should have pulled out too. Proper title for this thing would have been The GOPempire Strikes Back.

-------------

But Cruz fans said it took courage to walk into the ambush. Courage but not so much on the smarts.

“One thing was apparent, which is that Trump is FAR BETTER at handling these types of attacks that Cruz...I’m not disparaging Cruz here, no candidate should be attacked as he was by moderators, but that is what happened there.”


BINGO!

The real opponent is and has always been the biased media. Trump’s slapping them silly, the rest come off as weak and apologetic any time the media targets them. Trumps deliberate and effective strategy is to hit back, as exampled by the Megyn Kelly saga. His response is not kneejerk it’s deliberate. And it’s working. A winner

Yes, agreed, the GOPe proved that they think they are relevant again.

I like Cruz, smart, but bad judge of circumstances and a bit of a tin ear. The early ‘joke’ regarding Trump’s rhetoric which fell completely flat; earlier debate and ‘New York values’ the latter particularly a huge softball for Trump to emasculate him - and that’s how Cruz appeared when Trump had him clapping like a seal in embarrassment.

The MO by the establishment was to try to embarrass Cruz and also that Cruz would use his own rhetorical weapons to attack Trump and hurt him for his non-appearance. The latter didn’t work but I thought held his own from MK’s pathetic attempt to embarass him. Here again he was being used and manipulated.

They should have all boycotted. These old style debates stink - time for a fresh new format with NO moderators for starters.

Who gives a rats ass what the Blaze has to say, anyway. It promotes the drivel of a gibbering fool.

Man Redleg Duke, what a difference a day makes. I posted to you at 10:33 last night. You responded back at 6:20 this morning.

TC advisers are not equal to DT advisors.

Cruz has been spending too much time with Glenn Beck.!

New Beck/Cruz Three $ bill?

Crazy Beck swearing in Ted Cruz as Faux President. Another critical Waterloo event!
