For some time now, people who believe in the theory of Donald Trump's inevitable demise have thought that he'd either say something so outrageous that voters would finally reject him or he'd perform so poorly in debates that voters would flee to more polished candidates. Well, it's safe to say that the outrageous comments theory had been discredited, and - after tonight's debate - it's clear that Trump isn't going to beat himself in direct competition with his colleagues. ...
The bottom line? Going into the debate, Trump had a solid lead. There was nothing that happened to dissuade Trump's followers. Indeed, he likely inspired the plurality that support him - persuading them that he's ready for more debates, including an ultimate confrontation with Hillary Clinton.

The money quote as the WHY people should be offended by Cruz’s NY comment.
‘— we can’t and shouldn’t write off any part of America.”
Trump won and one thing’s for sure, he gets better and better every time he debates. Bring on the socialist, whoever he/she may be.
I thought cruz flubbed.
At this rate, a Trump vs. Hillary contest could be a WWE pay-per-view event.
If so, I want to see them go at each other with the folding chairs. I’d pay good money to see that.
TTTT
Well in November you will be trudging to the polls to vote for Trump just like you did McStain and Willard. :-)
Wow! I believe he won too!!!
Oh Davey. You say the most controversial things. Stay edgy!!!
Go Cruz!

Do you think insulting people will make them support your candidate? The Conservative purity test is a little old.
Pray America wakes
I think I’ve seen about ten threads today that say the Luntz focus group proclaimed Cruz the winner. I wonder if someone set things up with a built-in bias.
Cruz never said anything about 9/11. Trump went bellow the belt on that one. Cruz the national champion debater choked
Yup......born and lived in NYC till age 15. Living in the far burbs most of the last 52 years. They are BOTH right. NYC and much of the burbs are horrible left wing $h!7 heads.
But those left wing $h!7 heads, for the most part, we’re NOT the ones running into buildings to save people. They were cops and firemen. Most NYC cops and firemen are NOT POS leftists. Many if not most bolted for the burbs long ago to get away from the slime that a leftist city attracts. My dad, an NYPD cop, moved us out to the burbs because much of the city was becoming a sewer in 1964. It has only gotten worse
Cruz missed a golden opportunity to straighten out the facts.
“At this rate, a Trump vs. Hillary contest could be a WWE pay-per-view event.”
I doubt we’re going to get that far, Hitlary is going down in the polls like a submarine with screen doors. Just saw a comparison chart of her polling now vs. 2008, and she’s falling faster now than she did then. I just wonder when the RATs are going to “pay her a visit” to let her know that they’re going to back Old Slow Joe or some other hasbeen.
DaveyB, going the way of the dodo.
Maybe we can build a static display of your generation and their thinking in a natural history museum somewhere.
TRUMP BABY!!
LOL
