Thats the way you see it. We disagree. See you Tuesday morning. I know that the events of Monday wont change anything you are saying, but I also know they will definitely put me in a good mood.

Sorry about that.

Did you see that Megan Kelly had two scrips. One was for the debate without Trump and the other was for the debate is Trump surprises everyone by showing up. That tells me they worked out a strategy for their questions, scripted in advance. The script for last night had to be worked out withing a 24 hour time frame, because of the suddenness of Trump’s boycott. That may be the reason why last night’s script was not so biting. I imagine they had a real shark tank planned for Trump. I for one, could see that as a benefit for Trump. He could use the experience to toughen up his ability to campaign against the DemonRATs. My word for them describes how nasty they will be.

I wonder how many Cruz bashers on FR don’t like him because he is an evangelical. How many of the bashers are Catholic and just hate evangelicals. Napscoordinator for instance.

The only question is, which campaign most closely resembles this?

I would submit it isn't Trump's.

I think he can beat Hillary and Trump cannot.

Before you get your panties in a wad at that response, go look at some head-to-head scientific polls (i.e. NOT Internet polls) and report back.

Honestly, I didn't watch that part of the debate ( I was watching the Trump event at that moment)

BUT

I did see the cut of that happening that Fox has been running all day long... and it didn't come across as sarcasm the way they cut it and are running it.

It was wholly intended as sarcasm and a dig at Trump.

Then Fox is pulling a dirty trick in the way they are showing the cut of it.

They are leading the clip by saying things like Cruz got run over, lost, ect then showing that clip which makes it look like he did get flustered and actually seriously threatened to walk off the stage.

Meeting payroll hiring and firing people and being a project manager are qualifications to be what Trump is, not president.

If history is a guide, neither are the "qualified professional politicians"

I'll roll the dice on a business man and see what happens....if it comes to that.
