Here are my observations from not watching the debate but reading the comments on here:
Trump continue to whine and whine and whine. He and his followers blast Fox for “gotcha” questions and rudeness...and yet, he KNEW this was coming. He seems to lack thick skin and class.
You don’t hear Cruz supporters carrying on this morning like all of the Trumpers. While Trump might have received “hard” questions, at least he GOT questions! Cruz went for almost an hour and a half without a question. If you want to know who the media and the left TRULY FEARS, it ain’t Trump...it is the person they ignored.
I laugh when Trump people cite the Drudge poll as some sort of vindication for Trump. The poll is bogus as you can vote MULTIPLE Times. I did. Funny, at one point, the Paulies bombed the poll as well...even though Rand didn’t do so well in the actual debate.
Trump won’t rule out a third party run if he is disrespected. Call it “leverage” or “negotiation” if you will, but his continued flirtation with a 3rd Party run should give people pause.
Finally, the Luntz focus group. He laughs at Luntz for doing his job. He might not like the results, but as someone said in an earlier post, did the whole focus group lie about Trump? Media perception is EVERYTHING in politics and Trump isn’t looking good...fair or not, this is reality.
I have long been a Cruz supporter. I know that right now Fox wants to “Dump Trump” and that was clear as a bell last night. People like you and I should not fool ourselves. After Fox dumps Trump, they are going to go after Cruz. After they “Dump Trump” they are going to “Push Bush” and they will try to destroy anyone, including Cruz, who gets in their way.
