Agreed except they were not tough questions as much as it was an attack.wallace and kelly are leftist and nothing more.
Bush > Trump?
Sorry, but I can’t see how Trump was #1 in this exchange by any objective measure. (Won’t call it a debate.)
“Ive been Cruz-Walker for a while, but I would also love Cruz-Carson.”
Cruz needs to take a picture with Fiorina and leak it to the media. Hillary will be gone the next day.
The questions were not Constitutional in nature. The whole debate was absurd and disgusting. Two mamby pamby men and one silly woman asking the most ridiculous anecdotal baseless questions. The Republic is done. Its over. I predict we will have a brutal dictator ruling us within 10 years.
Strategically, I think Rubio makes the best V.P. choice.
Rubio is a RINO... clear concise completely.. to the bone..
He needs to get nowhere near the Presidency..
He can be a turncoat.. sneakier than John McLaim.. smarter than Linda Gramnesty..
Has no idea that democrats are traitors.. ALL OF THEM..
Wears a bipartisan Hat..
Being bipartisan with TRAITORS.. is also Treason..
Therefore Rubio IS A TRAITOR.. a poseur.. shill.. mole..
I actually didn’t think anyone put in a really amazing performance. The debate didn’t have the energy of when Gingrich, Santorum and Romney were really going at it 4 years ago. No answer here came close to getting a standing ovation. Gingrich really made everyone step up their game last time and it doesn’t look like we’re going to see any of that energy this time.
Cruz - smooth, reliable, unflappable but lacking in passion
Huckabee - relaxed, confident but his canned gag lines were a little annoying
Walker - clear spoken, but a little stiff
Bush - seemed confident and at ease, but spinning hard to defend his conservative credentials
Rubio - not much more than Obama-style emotionalism, vague promises without much policy
Kasich - seemed unfocused and not well-defined in his views
Christie - went full “Peter King” in his assertion that we need to spy on everybody to find the bad guys
Trump - mumbled, stumbled and lost his cool, talked more about himself than about ideas
Paul - seemed like he might be on drugs
Carson - totally unpresidential, has no command of the issues
Cruz was the giant on the stage.
Cruz has the intelligence, vision and strength to do all the things that conservatives want a President to do.
I am firmly convinced that Ted Cruz would lead America back from the Obama abyss.
Trump did fine in tbe debate considering the bombing he was enduring. His behaviour afterwards has me questioning if I could ever support him. He had it in the bag for enduring the media bias (fhe polls) but he needs to get a grip and recognize what it means to be king of the mountain.
Whining and temper tantrums is very unbecoming, to most men anyway.
His temperment is in question as far as I am concerned. If he thought the moderators were his friends he is just plain too naive to be president.
I would have like to have heard more from Cruz last night. I liked what I did hear. I’m still undecided.
“Paul - seemed like he might be on drugs”.
Paul needed some drugs. Perhaps Xanax would have helped.
He and Bush need to go home.
Trump had 67%.
Let that sink in.
Paul seemed amped up and it flowed all the way out to his hair. No one with that haircut will ever get elected President. I know it’s a superficial thing but that doesn’t make it less true.
Trump won the debate in the same way a star football player who yells, “ROCKY MOUNTAIN FOOTBALL RULEZZZZ!” at commencement has the “best speech.”
Has anyone charted how many question each candidate had?
Cruz had 4 I believe.
I thought the format sucked with the individual separate questions to each candidate.
What a bunch of crap.
That would bd a problem for all of them though, as Cruz would have mopped the floor.
Cheers!
Team Spirit!
Gooooh team!
Ted Cruz 2016
I agree with the exception that I think Kasich and Bush both performed a bit better. I can’t remember if it was Rush or Back who pointed out that to a low information voter who isn’t familiar with Bush’s weaknesses on many issues, Bush probably looked very good.
No, Bobby, you’re wrong. Trump was the only one who was smart enough not to fall into the trap. He didn’t play FOX’s game. He told the truth which is what the people want to hear.
