I was really impressed with how much better Trump is at these debates, even though I think he won them all. That was a brilliant bit of jui-jitsu saying I might want to pick Cruz as VP, but how can I if I don’t know he’s eligible? Even if it’s a 5% chance, you can’t do it. And then he acknowledged that Cruz’ rising poll numbers were part of why he is talking about it. Why would he make an issue if Cruz had no chance at all? Really disarmed Cruz’ attack preemptively.
Trump has improved in the debates but he is still better in one-on-one interviews and paradoxically also better in his rally speeches. Trump has improved his debate performances but in the debates you are still not seeing The Best of Trump.
No one wins in New York Real-Estate jungle without being super intelligent. Especially a developer of buildings. One has to weave a path through local regulations, unions and liberal politicians.
Some of us here have been saying this all along..including that Cruz needs to try for a declaratory judgement.
