He was national debating champion while in college

[PennsylvaniaMom]

I think Trump realizes that (and he’s clearing a path).

Cruz again!!!!

INCOMING!!!!

[stars & stripes forever]

Rubio was rather lack-luster. He looks like he’s aged since declaring his candidacy.

[cripplecreek]

Cruz not backing down from the Washington cartel at all.

[cripplecreek]

Bold colors, not pale pastels.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Cruz is awesome. And Presidential. Most of the others are vying for VEEP and Cabinet positions.

I KNOW HE DIDNT READ MY REAGAN QUOTE....but just DAMN! he used my favorite Reagan quote!!!!!!

Cruz or Loose!

[South40]

Cruz is the conservative choice and he is showing why.

[cripplecreek]

I sent Cruz a tweet suggesting that he start calling the EPA the “Economic Prevention Agency”.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

I wish Cruz got the climate change question. He’s not PC.

Rubio talking national security. He looks tired. The fight on PP must be grueling (or his security info must be scary.)

Now Dr. Carson.

[stars & stripes forever]

[Cruz or Loose!]

If I could get my hands on some TED CRUZ yard signs, I’d plaster them up and down our property line.

CRUZ! CRUZ! CRUZ!

(I noticed the shot of the other candidates during the second CRUZ interview. They look like the Junior Varsity.)

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Wish Mr. R would us a “like” button. That is an AWESOME suggestion.

And I think Cruz/Carson (Veep to unravel ObummerCare) is doable.

[Does so]

Thanks. Watching and listening presently. :)

[fatnotlazy]

Rats, I missed Ted Cruz.

I like Ben Carson. But he’s just not suited for the job.

[Rona Badger]

Rubio was rather lack-luster. He looks like he’s aged since declaring his candidacy.

Rubio has a very smooth and confidential way of speaking. He looked a little low key comparatively. Perry, Santorini and Graham sounded so rushed and oddly angry. I do like Cruz and Carly. We have some choices! Walker not too good for some reason. Early musings....

[prisoner6]

Was able to catch a little but Cruz smoked them all!!!!

Of the rest Jindal had a little...little fire but Cruz was the only one presidential!!!!

Smooth but forceful! His confidence shoiws in his speech!

[PennsylvaniaMom]

I think that’s why he met w/Trump. The Donald is no dummie...I think he sees what we see in Cruz.

Still liking Walker (2ndary choice). But...

CruzOrLoose!

[Duchess47]

Funny, I did not think so. He went on about the Washington Cartel, never did say what he would do about Iran, just what was wrong with the current deal, unless I missed it.

[mtrott]

Geez, did you hear that question for Perry? LOL!

[Duchess47]

Rubio is not going to deport aliens, at least he did not say he would.

[ObozoMustGo2012]

Perry didn’t even answer the question....
