Cruz was well-prepared. But his opponents need to remind the audience that Cruz was a national debating champion. I am amazed no one ever brings this up to increase expectations for Cruz. However, Cruz marred his otherwise strong rebuttal on NBC by bringing Trump's mother into it. Now Heidi Cruz is a big concern for conservatives, given her tenue with Goldman Sachas as one of only a few dozen managing directors, and career in the GOPe. But Trump didn't bring her up. Seemed a bit off to me.

Cruz lost on his NY slam. Trump could have buried him by promising to WIN New York...something only he has any hope of doing.

But he promised not to condemn Trump’s mother.

The whole ‘mother’ thing was a joke to illustrate how silly this birther thing is.

“One of only a few dozen managing directors”

Waaaaaaaaay off. I think there are between 1000 and 2000 MDs. There are also about 300 partners, who are the top tier of the firm.

Ummmmm........

Goldman Sachs just promoted 425 people to managing director - the highest ranking you can achieve before making partner - and the list of people chosen is very telling.

Goldman Sachs Group Inc., the fifth-biggest U.S. bank by assets, promoted 280 employees to managing director, up from 266 last year, as it begins making the selections every two years instead of annually.
