"If he hadn't inherited $200 million, you know where [Donald] Trump would be? Selling watches in Manhattan."
It was Marco Rubio's big moment, the one that was supposed to damage the GOP front-runner. It wasn't a bad line. The zinger illuminated that Trump wasn't self-made. It made him seem like the avatar of New York's worst values--a street hustler from pre-Giuliani Times Square.
Rubio's riposte got a laugh, but that was it. But he administered his blow too quickly, after a dizzying oppo dump of Trumpian facts--bankruptcies, lawsuits against Trump University, hiring illegal workers and so on. Like a hormonal teenager with control issues, Rubio blurted them out so quickly that the fusillade fell flat.

I enjoyed the parts where Rubio and Cruz had ‘STUPID’ written across their foreheads.
Why is it hate to express a negative opinion about Trump?
But love and sanity to be absolutely vicious about Ted Cruz?
Could you explain that to me?
Was that before or after Cruz threw in with Rubio?
He reminds me of the cabana boy in Legally Blonde.....”Don’t you stomp your little last season Pradas at me.”
Your description was completely accurate.
Amen. They Cruz/Rubio tag team were spitting and frothing at the mouth so bad I couldn’t even make out half of what they were trying to say.
I don’t know how many owners of companies I’ve seen whose kids couldn’t run a lemon aid stand.
They really reminded me of two yappy little dogs barking at a St. Bernard. They continuously went over time while Trump patiently waited his turn, only to be interrupted before he could finish a sentence. And since they were so busy “responding” to each other’s attacks Carson and Kasich barely got to speak. But that was the idea.
Trump was seldom “patiently waiting his turn” last night. In fact, he was often stepping on the other two while it was their turn to speak.
I bet no one knew Kasich’s father was a mailman.
Nice to see that the tediban is out in force. Their last hurrah before the end?
See you next Tuesday.
I tried to like Cruz. I just couldn’t. Something was off about him to me. There was a visceral distrust I felt whenever I saw him.
The more I see of him, the more I don’t like him. I couldn’t understand the feeling I was getting until the last month or so when his actions confirmed what my queasy gut was trying to tell me.
Cruz is just another tea party hero that is lulling the angry right into a false sense of security. He is selling out right before our eyes just like all the other tea party superstars did.
If by some freak accident he becomes the nom, I’ll vote for him against the beast but I won’t like it one tiny little bit.
All these consistent conservatives are only trying to conserve their phony balony jobs and keep the DC gravy train from going tits up.
I thought it was Trump’s best debate. He had taken it down a notch and was a bit calmer, but not too calm.
I think he missed a couple of opportunities to respond to the twits, especially when Cruz was badgering him about finances. Cruz has little room to talk when it comes to that.
This is the weekend Trump starts with Cruz’ eligibility issues — and Rubio’s.
I really, really want an American in the Oval Office. The other two will have diluted loyalties.
I’ve seen a few Chippendale’s shows, and the majority of the dancers were homosexual. Between shows you could see them backstage and they were way more interested in each other than with the ladies in the audience.
Of course that was about 30 years ago and maybe things have changed. (Does Chippendale’s still exist? I don’t know.)
And add to that list the photo of Reagan happily and brazenly flipping off someone. Annie might be interested in that as well.
And Trump is?
“As Cruz has said repeatedly, he recommended Michael Luttig over Roberts.”
1. He still supported Roberts strongly. He called John Roberts his “role model”. He said Roberts was the “best Supreme Court litigator in the nation.”
2. Do we have proof that Cruz recommended Luttig? Serious question because I don’t know one way or the other. But he does have a knack of pulling excuses and scapegoats out of his ass when necessary. (”I believed Mitch McConnell.” He fired Rick Tyler, scapegoat.)
How it all will work and actually make healthcare affordable.
“explain the mental crashes, the sweating, the very fast talk”
Another poster mentioned speed/uppers because of all you mentioned plus extreme thirst.
