The death of Scalia has completely changed the importance of primary.

The survival of the Constitution is now at stake. imo.

I think Cruz continues to look more and more presidential.

I think he blindsided Rubio when Rubio asserted Cruz did not know Spanish. Cruz began to lecture Rubio in spanish. Rubio had no response.

I do think Rubio bounced back from his last performance.

I also thought Cruz was quite strong to confront the moderator on the first question. He was able to correct his false claim about the Kennedy nomination as made by Reagan in 1987. I doubt anyone else on the stage could have done that on the fly.

I think the Trumpertantrums are going to continue.

I honestly believe that his microphone should be turned off when he speaks out of turn. I did like Cruz’s calm explanation that adults know how to not interrupt others when they are speaking.

I also thought Jeb’s line about Reagan tearing down the Berlin wall rather than other people was a good line.

I continue to be annoyed at the refusal to defend the Iraq war.

We won the iraq war. There were NO lies leading to the war. There were WMD in Iraq. Refusing to defend the Iraq war is surrendering to the Anti american left and jeopardizing our troops.

Withdrawal from Iraq caused the current developments with ISIS.

First, I want to congratulate Jim Robinson...his site is awesome. That debate thread went like wildfire without any pauses or glitches.

Wow.

I was solidified in my loathing of Trump. What a petulant little baby.

Cruz tried to help. “Adults learn not to interrupt,” he said.

Apparently, Trump is not adult. The mods should have done something about his constant rude interrupting.

What a disaster he was. I liked everyone else, even Rubio, more than I did Trump tonight. Well, except Ben Carson.

I gotta say though, it was a pretty entertaining debate.

The drudge zone may say Trump won but he did not. Cruz won. I don’t know how he kept his cool. I wanted to hit Trump sooo bad.

..The behavior of that packed crowd was shameful. Ridiculous treatment of both Trump and Cruz. The RNC was behind it and CBS helped carry it out.

I want Ted Cruz to win, but if I were a Trump supporter I would be livid...

I’m hearing a lot of huffing and puffing to reinflate Willard, the hollow candidate doll. I’ve said before that I expect the GOPe nomenklatura to push him as the ‘compromise’ candidate at a brokered convention.

I’m even more persuaded now.
