I think it is minor. Not career ending. Trump rolled dice and skipped debate. Cruz knew he was points down in polls and decided to go with what his paid consultants advised. I really do not think it is a big deal. No Dean scream, no Gary Hart girlfriend. Cruz will recover. If you really believe in him, do not give up. 2 more full days to go.
A handful of Cruz Freepers have jumped ship over this, and they were hardly what you'd call lukewarm supporters.
I'd love to hear from some in Iowa. Is this getting airplay in Iowa? Does anyone there seem to care? Is this news just swallowed up by everything else on the campaign?
Patton, I respectfully ask you to give Donald Trump a second look. I know he'd love to have you on the team.
