It’s my theory that the people voting for Trump may not have watched the debate. Trump was not outstanding in a way that would have increased his support.
I think his base, which is considerable, simply voted for him because he’s their candidate.
Anyone who actually watched the debate would have voted for Cruz.
Precisely. Even if one supports Trump, objectively, Cruz won that one by a mile.
I disagree.
Trump was asked about his tax plan and even after they tried to compare Trump to a cartoon character, he covered his plan pretty well...
Kasich then verbally sucker punched Trump and then Trump 'lit him up'...With facts as well...We probably won't hear from Kasich again...
Trump was not asked any other questions that had anything to do with the Presidency...
Trump maybe didn't pull ahead further with those couple of minutes of speaking but he certainly didn't lose anything...
There wasn't a single winner...There wasn't even a debate...
Cruz had one big moment when he attacked the moderators questions. The crowd was with him and showed it.
Trump opened that question up in responding to the first question of the night when he was treated to disgusting, infantile insults like being accused of being a Comic Book character and flying off the podium by flapping his wings. I have NEVER seen such disgustingly inept and totally unacceptable behavior! Trump handled it smoothly, did not lose his temper, but appeared very presidential in his no nonsense response where he had the higher card and trumped the attack.
His other strongest point was in his closing statement when he claimed to have lowered the time of the debate. He left the moderator blubbering and practically speechless, finally managing a feeble denial. I was ecstatic!
1.Trump 2 Cruz Rubio didn’t show me anything but a politician topolitician squabble....besides a kindergarten kid could whip Bush.
Beg to differ. Cruz had one big point. Trump had at least two. More subtle and not as brusque as usual, but well handled rebuttals and very presidential. He showed his CLASS!
What is telling to me is that in all the after polls, nobody is talking about the good Doctor. I expect his so called lead in Iowa to evaporate and people to realize that his so called lead nationwide never even existed.
Hopefully, Cruz finally got some attention.
GO TRUMP/CRUZ
