I give Trump lots of credit, and as you point out, Cruz is direct and clear in opposition to even subtle bias. But they aren't the only ones who are comfortable telling off a moderator. Christie has been bombastic forever, and Huckabee knows the game because he's played inside the media playground for years.
-- Preibus is at fault for allowing this debate in Colorado hosted by Liberal vermin. --
His mistake has cost CNBC tons of credibility, got "Hillary is a liar" out in the open (in spite of the media's black-hole on that fact), and was another experience where the candidates got to practice teamwork in exposing the press as Democrat shills.
Give me more failures and mistakes like that one!
Meanwhile, Ryan, the RINO, is what we have to barf over today!
