Have not missed it but I admittedly do not pay much attention. Its a three man race and there should only be three up there. Cruz, Rubio and Trump. But I like the the Cruz /Rubio exchanges because they really do represent two schools of thought on the right where foreign and border policy are concerned. I’m not a Trump fan, his platitudes bore me. But I will vote for him if he wins the nomination. Reluctantly.
I agree with having Cruz, Rubio, and Trump on stage. Everyone else is just a distraction. The GOPe does not want Cruz or Trump, so they are fine with having the other candidates in there to try to take them out.
