So in the course of the interviews they went from Trump, to Huckabee to Carson to Cruz. LOL. Ugh....okay.
Plus a Harvard Med School psychiatrist.
He has an impressive intellect.
Although a few years ago my daughter said he was on Fox so often they must just toss a sheet over him between shots. She felt bad when I said he was in an accident.
Kasich looked like such a puffed-up phony.
Well GOOD
Luntz doesn't like Cruz either!
LOL.
I'm watching CNN & MSNBC
I despise Luntz, so I always switch channels.
Hate to burst your bubble and I don’t support Trump, but he is going third party because of mistreatment of the press and the GOP. They will do everything they can to basically knock him out and he will not be quitting. The guy is narcissistic and he will be going tjhird party to ruin the GOP. I can sense it that coming.
Just my own opinion of what I saw. It’s early in the season and my views have already changed a few times.
I’m with you.
Trump bloviates and blusters, but that’s it. It’s time for the adult in the room to take charge, and that’s Ted Cruz.
Cruz stood out tonight; he was absolutely presidential, and he knocked his few questions out of the park.
I understand that people are angry and that they want a candidate who speaks the truth. That person is Cruz. He has the brilliance, the ability, the moral clarity to do what needs to be done to get this country on the right track.
and when it’s after the “bewitching hour” folks get even more testy. I still get unnerved sometimes at the rudeness going on. Turns me off to FR and I have to take a break.
Read more carefully.
"Well, it’s over for all us Trump supporters. Frank Puntz and his audience have decided that Trump was terrible and they just can’t support him."
Many comments from me and others about what a joke the Puntz audiences usually are.
Hey Steve and I have batted 1000 on our predictions for a long time. Trust me ;)
After a month you’ll kick yourself in the ass. I ditched TV altogether in 2001 and never once regretted it.
I should add Cruz should be the nominee and not Trump. Trump will not go third party if Cruz won the nomination.
I was not home and missed the debate but the post-game show is all about how “women will be offended by his horrible treatment of Megyn” and “he apparently intends to win the election without women”.
Such crapaganda.
Let’s wait two weeks and see what RCP polls show.
Right now they are:
Trump 24.3
Bush 12.5
Walker 9.5
Huckabee 6.8
Carson 5.8
Cruz 5.5
Rubio 5.3
Paul 4.5
Christie 3.5
Kasich 2.8
In two weeks my predictions are:
Trump 29.1
Walker 10.6
Bush 9.0
Carson 8.4
Cruz 8.1
Paul 5.5
Rubio 4.8
Huckabee 4.2
Christie 1.8
Kasich 1.2
Yes....Krudhammer hates Trump, I think Trump called him a idiot at some point.
I’m a useful idiot, that is what I was told by the latest Trump email, I get all of these guys emails. We will have to see how all this shakes out.
Still a long way to go... my prediction is the MSM (other than Faux - fair and balanced- not) will say Trump won knowing he may end up being the 3rd party spoiler. I’m not calling it for anyone at this point - the debate was poorly administered, biased and certainly “unbalanced”.
Actually, I think it was a big blunder for Trump.
I would have said something along the lines of, “I refuse to give the Republican establishment a blank check.I certainly hope to support the eventual nominee, but just like a hundred million voters out there, I will demand that they earn my support.”
Instead, what he said seemed to have a subtext: “Vote for me, or I just might throw the election to Hillary.”
Fox has now jumped the shark. Suddenly Trump is an enemy to all women! Because Megyn Kelly made up a question that Trump is part of the “war on women”! They out Stephanoplused the democrats!
Yup Dump Trump night. They’ll appease real conservatives for now by saying they like Cruz. Then they’ll run a hit on Cruz once Donald is out. Sooo predicatable
Well put caww!
