That is why Fox begged Trump to come back?

Last time Me Gyn the Bimbo with the crooked nose was handled so well by Trump her ratings tanked and they sent her for a 2 week paid vacation so she could get over being depression.
Me Gyn took so much incoming that she was licking her EGO.

By all accounts, Cruz had a very rough night. Rubio came out much better.

Who thinks he could beat Hillary?

Every Republican running could beat Hillary.

As opposed to TRUMP(PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME!) who cant’ seem to state a single sentence without stumbling all over himself?

“Praise be to his name”???

You must be a crypto-Islamist.

Once upon a time Trump's dodge would be called what it was. A PR stunt. He barely gives a rat's rump about Vets. If he did this event would have happened several years ago when the problems with the VA were becoming known.

As welthy men go, Ross Perot did a lot more for veterans than Trump could ever hope to do.

You don’t know much about Cruz’s resume, I suppose. He’s been quite effective at every level. I guess winning cases in front of the Supreme Court is easy. I’d like to hear your thoughts on what other Senators have accomplished in the past four years that eclipse what Cruz has done. As a member of a minority Senate party, what exactly is considered ‘doing something’?

Oh, the Trumpster will get things done all right. For Trump Enterprises. He will never govern against the interests of his business.

Nice to see Cruz face the tough questions rather than cut and run. Cruz handed it well.

Cruz never entered the fight, so he can’t run away. He rode behind Trump’s wings to where he is now. Trump never laid a hand on him.

Trump never made Cruz take on a fight. Not Trumps’s fault Cruz looked weak last night.

Oh for God’s sake! Did any of you actually watch it?

Cruz stumbled a couple of times and you would’ve been proud of the way he bit back at Chris Wallace and the Kelly broad, but he did very, very well in the debate. He passed on multiple opportunities to pile on Trump and stuck to the policy questions posed to him.

He’s not friggin’ satan you know...

I’ll check back Tuesday on your prediction. But there’s no denying that Cruz and the other candidates got put on the hotseat and Trump avoided the whole media-driven inquisition.

Like Trump got tens of millions from George Soros to build his Chicago building?

really?

So whinning about it, and threatening to walk off the stage is

“handling it better” ?

Not exactly in my book.

Yeah. Whatever. I have had my fill of Cruz for the rest of my life. I just hope Iowa voters don’t fall for his speaking ability. I still haven’t found any evidence that Cruz is a good master debater. He sucks at them in fact.

Monday night when Cruz loses they will be playing “Canadian Sunset”.

Cruz / “Almost Born in the USA” his theme song.
