“All” great leaders must have the capacity of listen to “genuinely” good advice ...
Rush and Mark Levin are trying to HELP Donald Trump ...
THIS EPISODE is the “first” real character test for Donald Trump the candidate ...
I pray to God that Donald Trump passes the test ...
Donald Trump needs to apologize to Ted Cruz and Scalia ... and THEN reap INCREDIBLE political rewards ...
Period.

Does anyone know where this debate will be live-streamed?
I doubt Cruz is dumb enough to take the MSM bait ...
I think if Cruz doesn’t respond, and Donald doesn’t attack...there cannot be a battle.
I really think Cruz’s strategy is to take the punches and appear to the be the “grown up” without responding.
If he responds, it becomes a pissing match and both lose.
What the media wants:
If they are smart, and they are...What should happen:
More hype to build viewership.
Doubt a Cruz vs. Trump bout tonight. No, instead it will be everyone else taking on Cruz. My guess is everyone will avoid Trump as they’d have to disagree with his call to halt Muslims coming into the US, which puts them aligned with Obama, Clinton, and others against 60% of the public that agrees with Trump. Cruz is safer and easier target. Cruz steps up to this challenge or loses. My guess is he loses.
I think whatever occurs, Cruz will direct the attack towards the Democrats and Trump will follow.
Cruz is too smart for that.
Political ‘reporter’: “It’s a cage fight! He insulted him! This can’t stand!”
Political ‘pundit’: “Oh these candidates are so shallow!”
There will be no rumble. It’s a media driven conflict to increase interest. Hype that benefits all DT CRUZ and the various media articles
It’s a side show. The Left loves sideshows that deflects the real substantive issues of the Left’s failed dogma of big government and less freedom. The stupid Right allows them to do so. The Right has more integrity than the Left but the Left is more cunning than the Right.
The whole “debate” in it’s current, non-substantive format is a side show. Kind of a waste. One wishes somebody on the Right would take the reigns of some kind of broadcasting capability and actually hold an debate with an actual debate format where agreed-upon substantive topics were discussed and debated by ALL participants, the “moderators” totally in the background.
Battle of the Titans
It will be muted but the media will try to stir it up and claim it’s something else
Neither has a lot to gain being nasty with the other
Trump needs to show restraint
Cruz keep on being erudite
Bigger challenge for Trump but he is way ahead
Their support groups overlap a lot....like me
Why alienate
I hope neither candidate falls for this set up, the media left, right and in between are playing the roll of instigators they don’t want to hear where each candidate is coming from they want a Tuesday Night Fight, based on what we are reading on these Cruz Trump threads that is what freepers want too, why would any freeper want to see conservatism shed its own blood at the pleasure of the enemy, this is not a sport it is our Free Republic already hanging by a thread that is at stake.
If this BS keeps up, in the end, we are going to lose, we have seen this all before in 2012, only difference is it will be Jeb or some other Rino instead of Romney who is the last man standing and ultimately Hillary will be president.
Eh, whatever. I like both Trump and Cruz. And I hope they continue to be a bulwark against any unwelcome incursion by the corrupt Establishment guys. Same reason I’m still glad to see Carson in there (although I have big, big problems with him on issues), as he’s provided yet a THIRD buffer, stymying the plans the GOP-E creeps.
Trump and Cruz are competitors, and obviously should tussle a bit. But I don’t want to see them tearing each other apart, and creating an opening for some Establishment tool to rise up and grab the gold ring in this merry-go-round.
Trump just say teddy bears to illegal aliens with glen beck, then drop the mic
I would hope a battle is indeed coming, though preferably on Trump’s terms. With the GOP plotting machinations, gutting Cruz in Iowa reduces the chances of a Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio upset due to RNC rules designed to divide up delegates in states conservatives are likely to win, and then giving 100% of delegates in states the GOPe expects to do strongly.
Cruz is my #1 guy, but it is my deepest hope that he not fall for this kind of skullduggery. Trump would be an acceptable #2, especially if he arrives at the convention with Cruz as his running mate; I’d rather these two guys not provide the Clintons and their media lackeys with ammo against each other later on. Either one of them would be eons better than the unacceptable choices pushed by the establishment.
