Interesting, how fast he got this website up...just another opportunist pol.

I think Cruz is taking advantage of any opportunity, same as Trump would. And Trump looks very petulant and thin-skinned by dropping out of the debate over Megyn. Good grief! How is he going to be tough on Isis or Iran or any of our enemies if he can't handle a girl! Also, I noticed yesterday you said this in an another thread:

With all due respect, I understand your argument, however, you do know that Cruz worked on Bush campaign and worked in Bush Administration

So you are bashing Cruz for supporting the same person you supported at the time? Pretty sure that is a safe assumption, just going by your screen name.

Hmm, guess we are going to agree to disagree on this one.

You know, Reagan pulled out of the last debate before his Iowa Caucus? So there is precedent. You can’t tell me Reagan could not handle foreign bullies! Oh, and isn’t it interesting that really no one made a big deal about Rand Paul pulling out of last debate...but oh the feeding frenzy over Trump is something to behold.

There were leaks from Fox that indicated they were going after Trump etc. I try not to watch Meghyn Kelly since the last debate, but I did catch some of her program or heard clips from it over the past couple weeks and it seems to me she had plenty of anti-trump guests and stories. She (and Fox) is not neutral—which is what I would want from a moderator if I were a participant. So I don’t blame Trump for pulling out—why debate when a moderator is a known attack dog? I would think everyone would want neutral moderators (remember what happened to Mitt with Candy Crowley in 2012???), and clearly Kelly is not neutral—oh and don’t tell me she is going to be professional because she was not at the last debate.

Frankly, I think the argument that Trump will not be tough on ISIS is a red herring—Trump has been the candidate pushing for toughness on immigration, the border, on terrorism, beefing up our military, etc. I don’t think he is afraid of Kelly—he is just not going to put up with the crap and most people would have cheered this in the past (i.e. Mitt). In fact, I think there have consistently been calls on FR over the years to boycott the debates.

I welcome and look forward to some type of Trump town hall where true Iowans can ask real questions in an atmosphere that is not stacked against the candidate. I have heard a donation will be made to Wounded Warriors, which I think is wonderful—far better than taking soccer balls and teddy bears to the border for illegals.

Let the other candidates have their rehearsed speeches and responses. I actually went to a rally and watched Trump talk for over an hour—not rehearsed, no note, and no teleprompter—oh and no “loyalty test” at the door either. I liked hearing what he had to say—unfiltered and in context.

Screen name...Uh, wrong...my screen name is due to the election fraud taking place when I signed up for FR—remember the fraudulent hanging chads vote counts going on 24/7 in Florida?—it was not my grand support for bush. I held my nose and voted for him—he was the best of the worst at that time. I did not donate, volunteer, or have a paid position with him either during or after the campaign. Cruz did, and his wife did—they enthusiastically supported Bush and the neocon agenda. I have seen footage of his wife fondly, passionately recalling her days in the Bush administration how she influenced policy in South America, etc. Bush was no conservative—he was the most liberal president we have had since Reagan. Reagan, who I liked very much.
