Megyn Kelly = MK.

And she cleaned his clock on immigration.

The point is Cruz did not have a breakout performance.

Rubio is now nipping at his heels.

“All these Trump worshippers who claim that Cruz got pummeled didn’t watch the debate. They were busy watching the Trump.”

I just watched the debate on YouTube.

Cruz got pummeled. Chris Wallace, in particular, went after him like an attack dog. It was pretty ugly.

Cruz was excellent in the second half. So good that Meghan Kelly admitted afterwards that her video ruse was just that because the facts support Cruz!

Must be. Plus, If she is in the Army, how does she have the time to post non stop here?

Actually I think he handled the debate well. He met with his attackers after the debate and was very gracious to them. He was, in a word, presidential. Trump, OTOH, handles criticism like a two year old child, throwing temper tantrums and calling people names.

A president must be first and foremost a diplomat.

Trump does not have a diplomatic bone in his body. He is a megalomanic, narcissistic demagogue. And those are his finer qualities.

..uh no, as a matter of fact, Megyn Kelly had to admit to Cruz that he was right and they were wrong on the immigration legalization question.

They tried to barbecue him, but Fox ended up in the fire...

He might have handled the incoming fire that was allegedly reserved for Mr. Trump, but I wouldn't call that "pummeled".

He stood his ground, knowing that was coming, and that in the absence of Mr. Trump, it was likely coming his way.

IMHO, that takes something that not being there doesn't have.

Ashamed2BeWrong, actually he made the right decision after all was said and done and he raised 6 million for veterans in the process AND Cruz tanked. Guess where Fox ratings were without “The Donald”? haha

Yeah, why show up for the battle when you are ‘winning’ the war? Someone else will take care of it, right? </s>

Cruz was hurt last night. This leaves the door open for Rubio to take 2nd place.

I didn’t watch the debate. I searched in vain for the Trump event but couldn’t get it in time. However, the overwhelming consensus today is that Cruz hurt himself. I know a strong Cruz supporter on Twitter who admitted as much.

I’m not seeing Guy Benson, a Twitter head rabid anti-Trumper/pro Rubio guy NOT disagreeing with posters who are saying that Cruz’s internals show he is now in danger of falling to third in IA. Again, this is a pro-Rubio guy, but today Cruz began running a bunch of anti-Rubio ads, not anti-Trump ads. Telling, no?

Cruz should have told Megyn—”I have heard from God, and you’re in trouble!”

RNC should cancel all network moderated debates, run their own and pocket the ad money.

No.

If we've learned anything its the media will try to control the dialogue. And their objective clearly is to take Cruz out then concentrate on Trump.

I watched the debate as well and while Cruz did take some shots, he also gave detailed answers to difficult questions and appeared confident while doing so. It was not his best performance but by no stretch of the imagination was it the disaster some are making it out to be.

We'll know for sure on Monday.

I believe she is simply a loyal supporter like many of us.

However, I would not object to seeing some biographical material on her about page, nothing that would identify her unit or personal self, but what branch (infantry, AG, Intel etc) and past units. Stuff like that.

How about it BFAC?
