The moderators did have a trouble look on their faces. They wanted to get out their agenda of questions. The outbursts by the audience was eating away their time. It was the most out of control debate I have ever seen. I am sure the DemonRATs were rubbing their hands together on this. Can you imagine them stacking the audience for the presidential debates? They wouldn’t be so stupid to do that. Only the GOPe is that stupid.
The RNC is nothing but a group of wanna be's that never were. They have shown US time and again what lengths they will travel to play to win. Cheat, lie, and make the rules as they go along. Finished, washed up, the RNC will be history but not soon enough. They should have been put out to pasture 15 years ago.
you really need to verify that with a link or quit making unsubstantiated, obviously false claims. Cruz much?
The GOP helped get some states to pass new election rules to stop candidates from switching parties. If Trump goes 3rd party he would not be allowed on the ballot in certain states. I think ohio is one of them. I would have to look it up, but if anyone has more details, please post..
I read one post that told about states that put restrictions on how third party candidates get on the ballot. Some forbid write ins for the national races.
Until this election, I never knew the depth of power the elite have over us. They shape each election by tweaking the rules while the game is being played.
Funny how one who will not look can claim he did not see, and consider it a compelling argument that something isn’t so because he didn’t see it....
So you had a ticket as well.
The audiences have become part of the debates like hired "extras" in bad comedies.
These continual GOP debacles have outlived their usefulness....they are degenerating into street brawling.....and are hurting all GOP candidates. Are these men too dense to see this?
A very large segment of the audience last night was a pack of hyenas, screaming banshees, adolescents of all ages.....and programmed robots.
Rather than control unhinged audience participants, eliminate audiences altogether. They serve NO purpose whatsoever except as dumping grounds for favored ticket holders with agendas of their own....or with orders how to react to certain candidates.

Trump is the only man that’ll break up the good ole boy system in Washington. The only one not beholding to special interest groups. The only one that has said he would build a wall and keep illegals the hell out of this country. The only one that actually wants to protect Americans from raping, murdering hordes of Muslims that are streaming into this country. Ted Cruz is a lying POS that has not shot at winning a special election, who like any typical lawyer, lies every time he opens his mouth.
These current primary debates are organized by TV show biz producers and directors in cahoots with the RNC.

Why can’t you be positive about your guy (who is also my guy)? You are doing exactly what Rove & Co. want to see happen. They don’t want their candidate to win in a direct contest against our candidates. Instead, they want their candidate to be the last one standing, so that on Election Day (election month?) we feel that we don’t have a choice but to vote for the Republican instead of the Democrat. And after the death of Scalia they are right. I will vote for the GOPe candidate over Hillary or Sanders.
So let’s say that Trump goes down. For whatever reason. If you agree with me and would vote for the Republican in that case, what is your preference? Would you rather vote for Bush, Rubio, Kasich, Carson, or Cruz? Bush, Kasich, and Rubio each would be a disaster because of their ideology. I think that Carson’s heart is in the right place but he has not been able to present himself as assertive and decisive. That leaves Cruz as my second-choice candidate as far as I am concerned.
If people are disgusted with Cruz, which is what you are trying to accomplish, then one of two things will happen. Either they won’t vote at all, as happened with Romney, leading to Obama’s second term, or they will go so far as to vote for Hillary to make sure that Cruz doesn’t win.
If that happens, then we will have gone down for the third time and it will be over.
If you are flaming Cruz because you honestly believe he is a bad candidate, ask yourself who — besides Trump — would be better.

Cruz has no chance of getting the nomination and if by some miracle he did get it he has no chance of winning. He’s too polorizing. He can’t get along with anyone and will do and say anything to get a vote. He’s a fake and fraud of the first degree. When I found out that he caters to homosexual same-sex “marriage” advocates to beg for a dollar I was done with this phony. The old “I’m a Christian” act is BS of the first degree. Christians don’t act like this character. If he opens his mouth about another candidate you can rest assured it’s a lie. He wanted a permanent green card for illegals living in this country and that is AMNESTY, no matter how slick talking lawyer boy Cruz wants to spin it. Former prosecutor Greta VanSustren called him out on it in an interview and said “Senator, that sounds like amnesty to me”, and he still tapped dance around it. She finally got disgusted with him evading questions and ended the interview. Just another greasy lying lawyer. She still has no use for him.
If Trump is not the nominee which candidate would you favor?
One that win. Just don’t think Cruz can. Hate to say it but it would be Rubio. I don’t like him though because of his immigration stance. Just don’t think he would do a thing about illegals taking over the country. Even if republicans can keep Obama from appointing another radical leftist to the Supreme Court to replace Scalia, if Hillary Clinton is elected she’ll be Obama in a Madame Butterfly jacket, who’ll appoint at least 3, may 4 justices, then this country is effectively finished. I’ll vote for whoever the nominee is but I just can’t see any of them being able to get enough cross over votes to win, except Trump or Rubio. If Rubio is not on top of the ticket he’s almost certain to be selected as VP because he’s young, can speak fluent Spanish, and he’s from Florida, which the republicans absolutely have to carry. And speaking of Trump, it’s not that the GOP thinks he would lose to Clinton and has to be defeated at all costs, they hate him because business as usual is over if he’s elected. He calls them all crooks, which they are, and is hated by both parties for telling voters the truth about politics in America.

Great mind think alike.
