Trump kept repeating his simplistic generalities, which actually endeares him to his simplistic followers.

Yea, because things like making illegal immigration illegal again is too straightforward for liberals and career politicians who prefer "comprehensive immigration reform" as a slimy way to avoid getting results.

Career politicians want to repeal the 20,000 page Obamacare and sit with lobbyists and craft a new government boondoggle which will probably be 40,000 pages and even worse yet.

Trump explained during the debate that it is a civil suit that he can easily settle out of court. On principle he is allowing the suit to go forward. We only know that a suit was filed. We do not know both sides of the case. We do not know if there was fraud.

His lack of any health care plan (or really any plan) made him look very shallow.

Why is it suddenly a given that big government has to be in charge of everyone's healthcare and insurance?

And what plans of substance has Cruz or Rubio put together???????

"Comprehensive" this, "comprehensive" that... translated into English means "sit with big money backers and craft enormous new laws and regulations that will further screw the people"

What I heard from the other candidates for their plan details for domestic and foreign policy was nothing new for decades now. The only thing different was said by Cruz, he will abolish the IRS which I favor but I doubt he can do it. Trump in office will review every issue and determine the best course to achieve the goals just as he has done so successfully in business.

Cruz looked maniacal last night. Especially after the debate, when he accused Trump if tax fraud. Even Chris Matthews said Cruz was guilty of McCarthyism, with no proof whatsoever. His true dirty politician colors are showing.

Wow. I'll be glad when all this is over. It seems like everybody, from the candidates to the electorate is trying to out low-class one another.

Let me know when this circular firing squad runs out of bullets. I'll vote for the sole survivor, but I'll need a long hot shower afterward.

If you are talking about the Polish construction workers, they were undocumented, illegal, no work permit, etc., and Trump lost $1 million because of it, should have been more.

If you are talking about the seasonal workers for his FL properties, no one has claimed that they were illegal.

Going after TRUMP!!!! IS going after a lifelong Demonrat. He has been a cheerleader for Planned Barrenhood and, only now, conveniently denies it and claims to have had an epiphany on the babies. He has (bribed), ummm, "financially supported" the candidacies of the likes of Her Royal Thighness and Rahm Emmanuel and Mitch McConnell (and Mitch's "moderate" colleagues) and Schmucky Chewmer and many more like them, but it is to be understood as just "the cost of doing business." AND, never forget, he STILL brags that he can "make deals" with any and all of them and Pelosi and others. He is probably right since TRUMP!!!, whatever his phony recent public image, is one of THEM.

Imhotep! Imhotep! Imhotep!....

The USA was a great country while it lasted. Our mistake was assuming that the low information voters were all Demonrats by affiliation. Little did we know that there were sooooo many willing to vote in GOP primaries to nominate trash like TRUMP!!!! He is every bit as "establishment" as El Jebbie but TRUMP!!!'s "establishment pals are Demonrats who desperately cling to power and $$$$ in competition with their "Republican" counterparts. One group of these hacks is no better than the other.

Last time, the GOP-E nominated Moral Monster Mitt Romney to lose to Obozo by using their traditional tactic of flooding the primaries with corrupt $$$$$. That did not work for El Jebbie this time and so they have an alternative in TRUMP!!! The beauty art for the GOP-E is that the marks hallucinate that TRUMP!!!! is somehow a tribune of the people and he is such an experienced media hound that he does not even have to spend much of his own money much less further drain Muffie's trust funds which have already been weakened by the amounts given to El Jebbie.

When this is over, whether Her Satanic Majesty or His Teflon Garbagemouth is sworn in as POTUS, the Uniparty "establishment" will be gathering at the Union League to celebrate their latest victory over the marks.

I believe the attacks against Cruz in the media are to insure that their candidate, will win. Regardless of whether its a D or a R beside the name, it’s still a DEAL made in the back rooms of New York and Washington. I thought better of Trump before he started calling Cruz a liar, instead of debating, and showing himself to be right by the words out of his mouth, all I see is name calling, bullying,and manipulation of the press.
That said, I can be persuaded by facts.

Trump provides a target-rich environment. It's fun to see the arrogant blowhard and fraud get hammered and exposed.

Hear, hear! Cruz/Rubio ‘16! Rubio can do the Veep stuff and enjoy it while Cruz rolls back all of Zero’s damage.

The cult’s bewildered now that their admittedly unconservative hero has driven away his opposition and their supporters. Now they have to defendDT’s scam all alone.

[The final step to beating Trump is that his rivals have to tie their attacks to a central idea of what Trump really is. As effective as Rubio was in torching Trump at the debate, Cruz did a better job of this tonight. Cruz used all of Trump’s problems to support the argument that Trump is a liar and a negotiator who is going to sell out his supporters the first chance he gets. (And believe it or not, that’s the most charitable interpretation. Throw in his squeezing grandmothers to build casino parking lots, his penchant for bedding married women, and his four bankruptcies and you can grope your way to much worse characterizations.)]

Trump is such a complete sleaze. This is why so many will vote for him under zero circumstances.

There has been lots of talk about Cruz & his eligibility to be President of the USA.

Time for people to look long & hard at Rubio-—

Rubio’s parents got their citizenship in 1975. I don’t know when they arrived in the USa from Cuba.

However—Rubio was born in 1971-—4 years before his parents got their citizenship.

IS Rubio eligible to be President??? Or is he an anchor baby only????
