Where is the dam bell for Kasich? And how much time has he been given? He’s 7 of 7. Why so much time?
Right, it was a joke, and a good one. He was playing up the likeability factor more than making a point
Cruz better get it ruled on now or he won’t be Trump’s VP pick.
Kasich sounding like a liberal. No surprise.
That’s why the GOPe made sure he was on the stage.
That’s very true !
Bill Clinton is fair game ?? Carson asks do we have standards?? STRIFE!! Judeo Christian ethics matter.. Carson pushes courage
Hillary was the first to raise the birth issue.
Why does Carson (who is squeaky clean) get the Clinton sexual harassment issue? Deflecting well...but he’s not a mud slinger. Applause for recognizing our JUDEON CHRISTIAN ROOTS!!! We need right and wrong! GREAT ANSWER!
I think Trump is inoculating Cruz on this issue. He’s bringing up the “birther” issue to show he (Trump) is consistent - he did it on Obama.
It also makes it ‘old news’ if the Democrats try to bring it up later.
it’s a smart play on Trump/Cruz’s part and likely they worked it out beforehand.
Listen to the last part of the exchange.
Trump basically said, just get it done, now instead of later.
John McCain had to do the same thing.
Trump wants Cruz as VP.
I’m liking Carson’s answer and he’s making an excellent point about the incivility on public internet forums. Even some of us hear should take Carson’s words to heart.
Oh yeah, Trump and Cruz really do like each other and they will be the ticket -— if Cruz would just get that adjudication thing. The feud is media BS, don’t fall for it.
Trump is the only one with a chance. Admittedly a small chance, but a chance. The rest will just completely fold in the general election. I have no confidence in any of them.
Cruz will never win because the independents won’t vote for him.
There in lies the rub.
again it was all planned these debates are stupid only want fights for ratings and money from advertisers...its all a sham
I vote for Cruz being a liar.
Exactly. Very strange. Carson did good bringing up values, though.
