I didn’t watch or listen to the debate, but did read much of the FR live thread.
My impression from the comments, is that the ‘debate’ was little more than a playground brawl, and that neither Cruz or Rubio scored the sort of game changing knockout punch that would catapult them into Trump’s territory.
For his part, it sounds like Trump took their pounding like a man, then dusted himself off afterwards. I hear he even backhanded the youngsters a time or two.
In short, nothing that happened on the stage tonight, will make a difference in the voting. Everyone left with something, and no minds were changed.
Wow - just from reading ? Not bad!

Exactly, when you go after the King, you have to kill the king, otherwise its over. Neither Rubio or Cruz killed the King tonight. With Cruz going on how Trump donates to crooked politicians, Trump replies “I gave you money.” Boom down goes Cruz.
Rubio came off as a yippy dog wearing a very nice collar. I knew about the Polish worker thing reading about it last summer. A nothing burger. If I remember correctly, it was the unions that were upset cause they didn’t get the job so some money had to slipped to the unions to make them happy. The Poles were paid minimum wage of the day ($5/hr) whatever. Were they brought in as illegals or on a visa type thing. I don’t remember one way or another.
Oh my mind was changed.
I had thought I could vote for Cruz as a Trump alternative or a Supreme Court Justice. However, after seeing him two/tag-teaming with Rubio against Trump (marching orders of the GOPe), lying, and then endorsing Rubio over Trump, I am so done with Cruz.
Oh and seeing some of the comments by Cruz supporters on this and other threads—their “Christian” actions and insults have not helped me either. They, like Cruz, say they are Christian, but their actions fall far short of the mark!!!!!!!!
