Here’s a really strange idea; how about stop telling the voters that their whacked out idiots, and maybe start taking positions and campaigning for things that voters actually care about.

Oh, no, instead, the powers that be have instead decided that they must ‘expose’ how ‘awful’ Trump is.

I don’t agree with all of Ted Cruz’s positions, but at least HE campaigns on those positions and while will contrast his positions to others, he doesn’t resort to random attacks.

Imagine a world in which the GOPe spent half as much energy attacking liberals as they do conservatives.

instead decided that they must ‘expose’ how ‘awful’ Trump is.

That's the price of being #1 in politics, everyone else is targetting you.

Trump knew this getting in, he's a big boy and can handle himself.

In a way it's kinda good, cuz it's sorta like an "equipment shake-down", in that we get to see what Trump is like under pressure (the kind of vetting that we never saw in the Democrats 2008).

As President, anyone will have to face a lot more pressure and ruthless opponents than these debates offer; let's see if they can handle this first.
