“Trump smacking gun question out of the park.”
YES
You could probably sit down and write twenty questions, and 15 of them would be the same as the moderators. This isn’t brain surgery.
yeah but $68 million and the Qs ahead of time are not going to help Jebbie...
Trump gave a great answer on guns/mental health/executive orders.
the courts dont work that way.
It’s up to the congress to decide the issue.
Trump is right. We have a huge mental health issue. We are closing mental wards. We need them. For Bush after he finally pulls out of the race. He is going to be effected/affected. No question about it. He will need help.
The Bush family have never stood up to the press.
It may not be favorable to cruz, but it is not underhanded. Cruz will get challenged by the Dems, their lawyers and judges if he wins the nomination. We need it settled and I am surprised Cruz did not handle it a long time ago with the courts.
Oh shut up.
Rubio doing well with this easy question. Still talking way too fast.
Cruz is saying that he is eligible to be the POTUS because he has an American mother.
He’s wrong. And he knows it.
Best debate for Cruz and Rubio yet.
What does that answer even mean?
For so long as Jeb! is in the race, the lead debate will feature him and one or two who poll below him, so it’s not so obvious he’s just being allowed into the adult debate. Sort of the way they let John McCain graduate from the USNA around 5th from the bottom of his class. Those fortunate four below him got to graduate because they gave him cover.
This is true. And I like both trump and cruz. And would love a ticket with both of them on it. But Cruz torched him there.
I said the exact same thing when this first reared. Good to see my thoughts validated.
Ted Cruz is a solid guy and I’d vote for him in the general election without hesitation.
That being said, I don’t see him doing very well. He’s not retail. He is selling features of conservative philosophy. People don’t buy features, they buy benefits. Both Hillary and Bernie will be selling liberal philosophy features.
Cruz is big picture and more cerebral.
I would hope that after seven years of Obama, the country would be hot for a principled conservative. I see no evidence of that, honestly. I’m not happy about that, but I think it’s true. Maybe I’m wrong.
Rubio steps into the breech again.
This is a set up.
Problem still remains with Cruz.
