Sorry I will not censor ANY of my opinions to suite your delicate RINO sensitivities.

Snarly is annoying, robotic, and was being an attention whore butting in and talking past the bell. This is what she’s doin at every debate.

Sorry you can’t handle it, actually not sorry...deal with it pal.

He would have done even better if the audience had not been packed with Bushies. It was quite obvious when major applause lines were barely acknowledged.

Cruz doesnt exist outside of these debates. His media coverage is non-existent.

Dont crow so hard about mentions on social media. He will go dark, with only supportive blogs talking him up. That is why he consistently polls at a far 3rd or a tied 4th....or worse. Trump is his own media, and Carson is a slow-motion car wreck, so they will never not be in the press.

Cruz has no (old or new) media strategy. I would not be shocked if the press buries him in a pile of Bush/Rubio stories by Monday.

First, the Drudge poll is not scientific and measures intensity not depth of support. If you believe these polls Ron Paul should be President.

Second, even if you actually put stock in these unscientific metrics, Trump's dominance of them (including the Drudge poll) is slipping away. In the Drudge poll he seems to lead Cruz by only 10 points. The earlier Drudge polls often showed Trump winning the debates with 50%+ support.

Trump has tried to build an aura of inevitability by pointing to polls to suggest he is unbeatable. Now the polls are getting closer and he is even losing some to Carson - and it is clear Cruz and Rubio are moving up. If/when Trump starts coming in 2nd, 3rd, 4th in some of these polls, I wonder if he will even stay in the race. The man hates losing and being tagged a loser. If it looks like he won't win Iowa or NH, I think he will bail and be happy to have helped likely knock Jeb out (something we can all agree was a worthwhile endeavor).

The headline of post was changed to insert “tops Trump” by the poster so I was replying to that to show that is not true in all cases. We all choose to believe what caters to our biases.

I see the media is getting behind the establishments/Globalists last best hope of stopping Donald Trump, the recent Canadian citizen Ted Cruz.

Anyone catch the seconds after the debate concluded? While some candidates ran right to the spin room and some moved to shake the moderators’ hands, Trump and Cruz were shaking hands with each other and having a quiet conversation.

I admit, this always floors me on here. I try to be nice and respectful. But that said, if people are willing to bypass principles and the character of the candidate and be swayed instead by anonymous people were mean online, I would have to question their seriousness on the whole process to begin with. Cruz himself has been first class throughout. He is the one running, not us. That is all that should matter.

I did not say it was scientific but that’s also the case of the one referenced in this post. The fact still remains he is leading and we will just have to see where he is come next year. I know you hope he isn’t.

Offering an opinion at no charge to you.

Carly F. has heard entirely too many of o-puppet’s speeches. Her halting, sharp clip is much too reminiscent of what WTP are now enduring. Please....NO TO 4 or, GADS, 8 years of this. Go be a teacher or something. Lecture with a sneer.

Ahhh let them have their fun in the sun and their little party, they don’t know it yet but that onion peel will start to peal off very soon, right on time and right on que.

They don’t know yet that the Trumpet Cookie is about to crumble..

They are being set up and are oblivious to it.

BTW ? Hillary, the media, the left with have a field day of him being married 3 times.

Nominationing Donald Trump WILL be a sure bet that Hillary wins.

the Drudge poll is not scientific and measures intensity not depth of support.

When Trump got into the race FReepers were cheering him clearing a path for Cruz, and then they deserted Cruz. Its a fickle electorate who won't hold.

An old timer gave me some advice once. "If she'll leave him for you, she'll eventually leave you for someone else". Boy was that the truth.

Not that he was in the same league, Gov. Jindal was impressive last night. Admire the man - he has come a long way from the official introduction...his rebuttal of the State of the Union Address years ago.

Ohio gov K really knocked himself out! Belligerent,cranky, tooting, and rude. And many think of TRUMP as having a big ego?!! Please!- there is at least a reason for that. As to John’s, not so much.

That’s not precisely what I’m talking about.

That’s more like “fan service”. I’m talking about the raw news cycle. Getting into it, controlling the direction, and controlling the narrative. That is something Cruz has yet to demonstrate.

Just read the snarky comments on the NPR story. Those are the people you have to beat. Those people dominate so many outlets that do control the news cycle that you have to have a dominating command of the media to offset that.

Wishful thinking.

And complete ignorance of how Cruz campaigns. To win.

"the recent Canadian citizen Ted Cruz."

Cruz birtherism...as stupid as you can get.

But you liberals are feeling comfortable enough right now to let your flag fly, aren't you?
