Sounds like the media is waking up to the danger Ted Cruz poses to John Ellis Bush, Marco Rubio and Hillary Clinton.

[Gamecock]

he wouldn't name names

[kevkrom]

A debate or candidate forum is going to be where Cruz can make the biggest impact. He absolutely has to kill it.

He also has to be prepared for any attempt to marginalize or sabotage him. They’re going to be either gunning for him or trying to push him out of the spotlight. Or both.

Whether one likes him or utterly despises Cruz, I cannot see how everyone cannot easily see that he is BY FAR the most skilled on his feet debater. Everyone who tries to take him on verbally looks like me playing some one on one against Michael Jordan.

That Medea Benjamin intimidates the whole capital. And he invited her on stage when she heckles, and then chews her up and sends her home humiliated. And how many journalists has he destroyed almost with a smirk. Its effortless for him.
And now hes going up against the amateurs of he GOP.
Id like to see him on stage against Hillary. She would be in deep over her head.

At least he’s in the top 10 that do the actual debate tomorrow night..

regardless of how good any of the “kiddie’s table” group are the fact they are not in that first debate will go against them...

what happens then ???

will the 2nd debate be the 10 who got the most points from either group ???

or will it be the top polling candidates again ???

the kiddie table ones will have strikes against them..

then again Jebbie, Kasich and Walker might be so bad they get washed out for the 2nd debate...leaving room for at least Jindal..

[Tennessee Nana]

oh and due to what Rubio said today and all the other days, I hope he goes down tomorrow...

The poor bastards have him surrounded.

Tonight we begin with a man who i believe is the most dangerous politician on the american right. In october 2007 i sat in the media gallery of the united states supreme court and watched the solicitor general of Texas argue on behalf of the state that he should have the ability to put to death a mexican national, Jose Ernesto Medellín , who had been convicted of raping and murdering two teenage girls in Houston. he won that argument and Medellín was executed by Texas on august 5th , 2008 , despite the objections of the united nations and the international court of justice . at the time, i had no idea who this man arguing on behalf of texas was but all i could think was holy crap, this guy is good. it was one of his nine times arguing before the supreme court and he was witty, incredibly fast on his feet and clearly had a brilliant legal mind. It is to this day one of the most impressive displays I have ever seen before the court.

Uber lefty, Chris Hayes.

The best thing Cruz can do is understand that in a POTUS debate Facts and Data don't matter much.

Ideas and demeanor are everything.

“Prepare”? Well, by just showing up!
