He also didn’t say he would.

CNN did a good job. I’m getting to like Dana Bash.

In the general the candidate who is nominated will be offered RNC support. I believe Trump may accept this, as it in theory would only have strings to the party apparatus. His comment that he is not sure probably is related to whether he likes those strings or not.

It will take a lot of money to run in the general.

If he does not want to take money, all he needs to do is ask his supporters, we are willing to help.

Seemed more of an uneasy laughter to me. Like the Rubio audience couldn’t tell if he was trying to be funny. Personally I don’t understand the appeal of the candidates trying to outdo one another on who’s father was poorest. Meh. Not bad. Thought it was the calmest most substantive debate I’ve seen.

“If he had said “the son of a successful businessman,” it would have humorously made an important point about Trump’s resume. “

That was his meaning and that is the way I took it.

...No, but he did tell FEC he was ignoring their request...

He doesn’t want to talk about that Goldman Sachs sweetheart loan in 2012. No wonder he quit asking Trump about his tax returns.

Or he may be in it because he loves this country and hates what the politicians have done to it

Some steelworkers are single moms. It doesn’t always work out all that well but sometimes it’s okay, even good. The experience I’m basing this on is as a HR manager at a nickel smelter. Plus, more steelworkers means job openings at other businesses.

Ted is a great man. He’s young. Even if he doesn’t win this time around he can give it another go in four years against Hillary.

Ted doesn:’t seem to know that most disposable diapers are made in the USA. P&G has a Plant in MX that does have some distribution in the US. They also have plants in PA, and WI.

Yeah but this author said Cruz will win Florida. No way on earth will that happen. First of all 2 million have voted already and few have Cruz on them. But the good news was he said last debate of the primary. I like hearing that.

If he loses against Hillary he shouldn’t get another chance.

Mr. Trump often presents the idea that he is more virtuous than the other candidates because he is self funding but I am not sure that logic holds. It is simply a fact that he is financially able to do so while the other candidates are not. Virtue or honesty has little to do with it.

It could be argued that Mr. Trump is less accountable than the other candidates because he is funded by one billionaire. If any of the other candidates received their complete financial support from a single super rich businessman, they would be pilloried to no end.

If we have reached the point that wealth is a determining qualification for the presidency, we might need to look for one of our really, really rich individuals such as Bill Gates or Warren Buffett.

Look at the recent Forbes. In this world billionaires are what millionaires once were: very common. Of those who used to work for the four Bass Brothers, all of whom are billionaires, there are at least five former employees who are billionaires. You ought not to measure him against me, or yourself but against the many others.

So Cruz is now not only an establishment candidate -,but the GOP-D’s last hope, eh? My, my how the propaganda mill has changed its tune ! And in just the last day or so, too. It’s as if the entire last year’s worth of all the “Cruz is an outside insurgent the establishment powers hate with a passion” just got tossed down the rabbit hole. Okay, Ministry of Lies, which is it???
