Had Cruz and Carson pulled out and joined Trump’s Vet’s Show, the debate would have collapsed.
Cruz, not realizing that he would be torn apart without Trump, shows he is not ready to lead the nation. The Senate, yes, but he needs seasoning and needs a great mentor, like Donald Trump.
I am saddened because I see Ted Cruz as a critical part of the team that takes apart the DC Uni-Party and disposes it.
come on? how could he not know? i knew and i’m a halfwit.
i think he figured it didn’t matter as it was a last ditch attempt to get votes from trump.
but it DID matter because it hurt him.
KEEP the integrity. it is NOT gonna happen this time. he is young and brash, even in our 40s, i should know, we men are still brash.
he will recover and learn and be around to fight in until 2024, when he will win.
trump and he will patch things up.
if that jerkoff bush, who invented the voodoo economics term, got on Reagan’s good side again, these guys can too.
I HATE meagan, ailes, murdoch, hume (who it is rumored meagan slept with to get her own show) and a number of others at fox now.
used to love them. stopped watching 10 months ago when i realized what they were.
couldn’t put a gun to my head and make me watch now.
where’s CHarlton Heston when you need him?
Damn them, damn them all to hell.
Trump as a mentor....lol....wait, you are serious, let me laugh harder.
I think he knew but Trump pretty much boxed him in. There was no way he could drop out of the debate and not look like he was following Trump. And then he compounded his error by basically saying Trump was too chicken to debate. He would have picked up a lot more votes if he had simply said "You know what, I have to give credit where credit is due. Donald is right to skip this. These debates are nothing but an opportunity for the left to try and take out anyone who is not a moderate or liberal member of the establishment. I'm going to go. I don't expect I'll get fair treatment. I expect I'll be beat up. But the thing to take away from this is that the process is broken. "
If DT really wanted to dismember the DC cartel he’d hold Ted close to him. He’s jealous.
You are right, that is not leadership. That puts a single press outlet as superior over the command decision of a leader.
And it's not as though Trump has cut FoxNews out altogether. The stakes were only one debate.
--------
Cruz should have realized his time was not this time - Trump is a tsunami - Cruz should have kept to his earlier strategy of deference for Trump and set himself up for the next race.
I really wanted a Trump/Cruz ticket all along, which is why I was so sorry to see them tearing each other down over the past two months.
They’ve surely damaged each other, and I don’t see repair at this point.
