"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.

Trump is an expensive yet empty suit. He speaks over people at a 4th grade level. No details, just simplistic glittering generalities that his band of Trump Chumps eat up.
Cruz and Rubio had no choice but to attack. I can’t blame them nor their advisors. It’s desperation time for them.
>>>You are as hilarious as the Cubans
Should I respond with: “as hilarious as the German Trumpf?”
Go Nationalist!
you can add beck to the list of people Trump has lied about. He said when he came in to the NV cacus that Beck got all huffy and stormed off...
Beck has the video proving he continued on with his message and hung around for a long time after he was done speaking..
But Trump says he tucked tail and ran off like a little girl.
Trump was having fun, your tv color must be off...
Whoppers,n. -- Truths told about Trump.
Cruz or Rubio will get up on a debate stage with Hillary and it will be two lawyers debating what the definition of is is. She will slip n slide right past either one of them and straight into the oval office.
Donald Trump will give Hillary the ghetto beat down. He will say stuff to her face on TV that Teddy would never dream of. Trump will tell her she belongs in prison. He will launch a Twitter campaign and kill her with death by a thousand cuts. Its the only way to win.
It appears that you are going to get to watch it happen as Trump is about to start wrapping up the nomination on Tues.
Do tell.. what is it they are lying about?
But he’s still going to clobber the field on Tuesday.
Yep, Don got hammered pretty hard...But none of the punches landed above the knees...
Cruz and Rubio spent the night beating themselves up...The one I especially liked was where Cruz accused Trump of siding with the Democrats on his healthcare plan...
Trump says there won't be any veterans dying on the street...They are going to have healing healthcare...And Cruz responds, 'well who's going to pay for that Donald??? You're going to make US pay to heal those sick, homeless, dying veterans??? You're nothing but a socialist Donald'...
Every veteran or relative of a veteran or friend of a veteran in Texas should have cringed when they heard Cruz say that...
It's real. Look here and scroll down:
They’ll take it to her on substance. Trump can’t because there is no substance, and that was pretty well exposed tonight.
>>>Trump was having fun, your tv color must be off...
Yeah that’s it.
No idea why.
:D
You do know that Chippendales has a residency at the Rio in Vegas. Maybe that's why Rubio offered no concession speech after the NV caucuses on Tuesday: He ended up giving a few lucrative lap dances there, taking a break from all the political fund raising he's been doing! :)
Let’s see if you can say that on Tuesday night...because if you are right, Cruz will coast to victory in TX and he or Rubio will win several other states and maybe Trump comes in 3rd in a few. Otherwise, tonight didn’t mean much.
Personally, I think that most people already know who they are voting for, and will say that their candidate won the debate. All that matters, though, is the results.
You must have been watching another program. The two children one cute and one homely attacked and behaved childishly and got their tushes handed to them. They acted like they.did not hear a word trump said,I was clearly upset by Marco being so juvenile,you expect that stupid crap from Cruz.
That is true.
In the first debate, Trump praised socialized medicine, famously saying that it worked well in Canada and Scotland.
Recently, he has said that everyone will be covered and "the government will pay for it."
and recently on MSNBC with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzenski, Trump said he supported the individual mandate.
That sounds like substantial agreement with Democrats to me.
I don’t think it was a bad night for Trump at all. He looked like grandpa being badgered for a new car by two competing spoiled brat nephews. Rubio bringing up a union lawsuit against a Trump contractor that happened when Rubio was 9 (did he still have a green card then?) or a lawsuit filed by some obscure Los Angeles attorney who wants to start a class action to get more money (cause you know in class actions it’s only the lawyers that make money), fell flat on their face for anyone with a brain. Cruz melted down so badly he resorted to an ‘off your meds’ comment - how classy for a lawyer. And his comments afterwards? wow. Billionaire businessman being badgered by two sleazy attorneys was the image taken away by many.
Rubio is a disgrace and Cruz supports him???
>>>A pretty bad night for Trump.
Yes. Because someone decided I’m gonna talk over you and insult you like you’ve been doing to others all along. Respectful discourse doesn’t seem to work against you, so we’ll do it your way.
It’s really sad it’s come to this. But, it seems, when one makes it a circus - and the folks seem to love a circus - this is what it takes.
