“Hope he trims Bush into a topiary.”

When a dedicated left winger like Alan D. calls Cruz “brilliant”, it might be time to pay attention : )

Maybe Jeb can arrange for a timely illness ?

Maybe he'll come down with a case of Montezuma's Revenge.

Cruz will not be slicing up Trump. Why would Cruz go through the trouble of calling a meeting with Trump, and why would Trump accept, if they were political enemies?

Political enemies? No. Political rivals? Most definitely. At the end of the day, Cruz wants the nomination. Right now his biggest competition is Trump and Walker, people taking conservative votes away from him. He has to take both of them out early so he can build strength to finish off Bush. So why is Cruz meeting with Trump and defending Trump? As Winston Churchill said, "When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

Cruz can take Bush at any time and he knows it. But take out Bush now and his support goes to Christie or Graham or some other establishment suit.

Bush needs to be taken out ASAP. He is the most likely among the evil GOPe to gain momentum after Florida.

Chrisie or Graham are a joke.

If we can get Bush out then there is a much better chance for a Conservative to win.

Waiting to take Bush out is a dangerous move.

I think Cruz will be content with letting Trump shoot himself in the foot over time while RubioChristieBush highlight Trump’s more leftist history and Cruz expressing Trump’s better positions more elequently. Ted is in perfect position for these early debates. He won’t be the RINO target and the RINO contingent will be hit and Ted won’t have much blood on his hands.

We will see. I expect Cruz to take chunks out of all his opponents.

Agree, Christie and Graham are no threat to go anywhere. Aside from Bush, Rubio is the only other threat because the establishment likes him as a backup and women always want to vote for a pretty face, not to mention Florida.

Jeb girds himself?

Wearing a back brace to support his spine?

A pair of marbles in his pants to feel like he’s got cojones?

Or, sporting a pair of Depends for when he doodoos himself?

Hmmm, maybe that’s what Trump and Cruz met about. Trump will bait Bush, Bush responds. Cruz is all nice and above the fray. Nice.

At the end of the debate, you will need this tool to scrape the remains of Jeb Bush's political career off the floor of the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland.

Jeb Bush capitalizing off the family name when we’ve begun to realize the Bush family was neither patriotic nor competent. Why’s he in this race, again?

Nah, just a non-aggression pact, IMO.

“He’s going to bring a lawn mower for Bush.”

I think “hedge trimmer” would be an apter metaphor. Or weed whacker.

Better yet.. bring one of THESE -- a Bush Hog!

He would "gird his loins" - if he had any.

Instead, he can only generically "gird".
