"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton

 

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan

 

"A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792

 

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams

 

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

 

" Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost." - John Quincy Adams

“I don’t know how he knows what I said on Univision because he doesn’t speak Spanish,” Rubio retorted.

I wonder if anyone has ever told Rubio that there are people that are known as “translators”???

That was my favorite moment of the debate. He didnt let Rubio’s lie stand. Rubio got nothing from that exchange.

All anyone will remember is Rubio’s refusal to engage in spanish after trying to float a lie expecting to go unchallenged

Cruz had a very weak debate in my opinion.

Rubio did better. But I suspect that Jeb will take votes away from Rubio.

Won’t be surprised if Trump finishes first and Kasich second.

“Cruz then responded in Spanish, taunting Rubio.”

Ooh, that’s gonna leave a mark...

That was funny! I don’t think Rubio expected it at all. What a silly comment, anyway, that Cruz wouldn’t know what Rubio said in Spanish...as though Cruz (and everyone else) couldn’t have it translated if need be. Silly.

A few years ago, two Tejanos were running for the Democratic nomination for governor. They had a debate in Spanish. One of the candidate’s forest language was English and the other guy’s was Spanish. The second taunted the first for his imperfect Spanish. Cruz is not fluent on the language but he knows Spanish. And his Father could talk rings around Rubio in Spanish.

"I don't know how he knows what I said on Univision because he doesn't speak Spanish," Rubio retorted.

Was that supposes to be a slam? Meaning that people who do not speak Spanish are somehow inferior?

Either that or he is not aware of translators.
