Wallace attempted to turn Cruz into a piñata at first but things settled down after the first round. It was a good debate.
It was a mistake for Cruz to attend this lynching!
Who gives a rats ass what the Blaze has to say, anyway.
It promotes the drivel of a gibbering fool.
..Fox tried the nuclear option with Cruz, and would have with Trump. The only damage was to Fox News IMO...
Ted should have pulled out too.
Proper title for this thing would have been The GOPempire Strikes Back.
I’m actually surprised that the GOPe played their hand with Cruz at this stage. A lot of us were thinking that were just using Cruz to take down trump, and then would unload on Cruz.
Well, we got the second part right, they HATE Cruz, and if Cruz thought getting Trump out of the way would clear his path to the nomination, he learned a BIG LESSON last night. I think a lot of Cruz/Trump supporters (people that are ready to vote for Cruz, but also like Trump) also learned the same last night.
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.
Of course Cruz took the arrows.
And based on what I am reading and the few clips I’ve seen,
Cruz did not hold up well.
That was nothing compared to “The Treatment” he would get in general. He showed he can’t stand up which is why he is “No Longer Surging Ted.”
I say Wow!
They should have all boycotted. These old style debates stink - time for a fresh new format with NO moderators for starters.
