No, that proves that he thinks even Rubio would be a better president than Trump. That’s all. You do too much reading (between the lines).

Thanks, I didn’t catch that part.

Since the question was directed to Cruz, I think it was incumbent upon him to do it, but he didn’t.

CNN got just what they were looking for last night. There is nothing left to discuss after all these debates and the only option is for the candidates to attach each other.

We fall for it every time.

Teddy Cruz telling CNN last night he would back Rubio over Trump. That’s all you need to know about Teddy - he just torched himself.

Basic Marketing 101

“Never sell your competitor in any form or fashion, for any reason.”

Cruz has proven he is no great shakes as a debater. Pffft.

That myth is dead. Worse, he is for deporting NO ONE but for the occasional “felon” who is “apprehended”.

Vote for whom you wish.

The fact that Cruz is endorsing Rubio means Cruz is GOPe.
He is no better than the rest of the hacks.

I agree with you somewhat, but I believe that the appearance of a biased forum was off-putting especially to people who favored Trump going into it but also to undecided people of which I suppose there are still a few. Overall Trump held his own and his trajectory was not changed which was the goal. So the effort can only be described as a fail for the two Cubans.

Overall, I would say last night was ¡Yeb’s! least humiliating debate so far.

Last night Trump said that the form you've posted threatened voters with legal action if they didn't vote for Cruz.

I don't see that anywhere on it.

Could he have been lying? Or maybe just exaggerating a bit?

Thank you very much.

A few Cruzbots on here think otherwise, but you can guess what I think of them...

It is certainly implied: “We’re watching you! Now go out a register to vote and vote! Remember, Cruz is watching you! Who do you vote for....riiiight....who’s watching you!”

I’m totally surprised that I’m not seeing the Trumpers using the phrase “peace be upon him” whenever they mention his name.

“Ted endorsed Rubio over Trump last night. That proves he is owned lock stock and barrel by the Free Labor Express donors and NCOC.”

He sure did. Cruz really jumped the shark with that statement.

I’ve always admired Cruz for his conservative positions. But I think this style of attack-dog campaigning is proving to be a detriment for him. I had more respect for him when he was campaigning as a gentleman.

Yes, I feel the same way. While I blame Trump for changing the tone in many ways to a street brawl and being thin skinned, that's his style and if he gets the nomination, I hope it's a style he takes to the Democrats instead of the usual Republican swoon.

However, it's not Cruz's style to go back at people in the same manner. He's a great debater when he's debating and he can take your words and beat you upside the head with them, but when he's slinging mud back, he's just another guy in a suit getting his lunch money taken. I've seen Cruz abandon answers just so he could attack Trump which does nothing but miss an opportunity to say something substantial. The low point last night was when Cruz demanded that Trump release his tax returns. That's what the RATS always demand because it paints that rich, fat cat picture in the minds of LIVs. To have one of ours, the guy I'm supporting no less, do it, left me bitterly disappointed.

I know it's not easy to let things go especially when Trump then calls you out for not responding as he did a debate or two ago, but you have to be able to recognize that your message has disappeared into the ether of attack, attack, attack while your communication staff has completely let you down. The Cruz campaign looks to be on the wrong track.
