It wasn’t the best because the first one had about 24 million viewers and the 2nd one about 12 million.

It was worse in viewership than all other debates except the prior Fox Business debate.

However, this one was extremely high visibility and a challenge match. It was the super bowl of struggles and over half the people of the previous high tuned OUT. Not IN.

I watched about 10 minutes of it.

Rubio came up quite a bit, IMHO.

Cruz gets more slimy, needy, and pompous as time goes by.

Trump/Rubio is my ticket choice now. There’s good balance there: a Northerner and a Southerner; a WASP and a Hispanic; an older man and a younger man; a good businessman (the Donald), and a good executive (Governor experience).

Except that Rubio is pro amnesty the very opposite of what Trump is all about.

My current favorite is some steady, knowledgeable, articulate conservative general past or present.

Jack Keane maybe.

It doesn't make sense.

It's a head scratcher, that's for certain.

That really is the heart of the matter. FOX News is literally lying. Their propaganda relies on comparing debates on two separate networks. This lie is breathtaking in scope.

People should consider the gravity of this. Imagine a true earthshaking event: a Constitutional crisis, an Electoral war, a Constitutional Convention raided by the Feds, a Waco type siege, Nuclear detonation in the USA, martial law, Second Amendment repeal, etc. In such an event how could Fox News be trusted to be reporting news and not government propaganda?

I'll note that there is precedent for their deceptions. They went in the tank for Barry in 2008 when the network all but banned his middle name "Hussein" and also neutralized any discussion of his Moslem ties and of course his foreign father ( first candidate ever! and that is by definition newsworthy ). There were meetings between Axelrod and Murdoch and others and discussion of these meetings was also muted ( where were you Sean Hannity? ).

This all amounts to clear evidence of collusion between news agencies and the government, and it is all in plain sight. That rat Cronkite was more independent by comparison. This is almost Soviet sponsored television when the larger picture is considered.

The propaganda machine would make Goebbels and Pravda green with envy. There is no news in the mainstream, it is all spiked with commentary and spin and the sheeple believe it all. They don’t filter or discern ANY. The sheeple just suck it all up as truth.

Cronkite was a rat but at least he gave the facade of objectivity and told us when he was editorializing.
