Trump would get killed in a debate with Cruz and we all know that. And, more importantly, Trump knows it as well. So I’ll give him a couple of points for inventing a reason to avoid the Cruz Trap.

Trump is avoiding the Kelly/Fox trap. You can act like he is trying to "duck" Cruz, but love him or hate him, Trump is one over-confident SOB. He isn't scared of Cruz even if he should be.

But it's clear the debate moderators were rigging the game against Trump. Avoiding the rigged debate is the smart move, and doing it in a brash way keeps Trump in the headlines. Trump's probably getting twice as much press coverage as if would have gotten going to the debate.

Cruz is the one being disingenuous here. He knows Trump is dodging the Fox ambush, not him, but he's making it about him to try to tag along with Trump in the headlines. Trump's move was a jack ass move, but politically it was pretty savvy. Cruz is scrambling to keep up.

If Cruz wanted to do the principled thing, he'd step out of the debate, too. Show some solidarity with your fellow Republican candidate. Make this a liberal media vs. Republican candidates fight, and lift your whole party up, rather than tearing each other down (which, of course, Trump is guilty of, too).

We need more than ever to have a viable Republican nominee (someone without any noticeable deterrent issues), and one who can win. So far, Trump is leading, has no impediments so far to his running, so will have my vote. If any other “viable” Republican candidate can knock him out of lst place, he/she will have my vote. This election we must pick the one that can win. Not an original thought, another Freeper already stated the fact we must pick someone who can win. If there is another George Washington, Abe Lincoln, or Ronald Reagan out there, and decides to run as one of the nominees with a Republican bent (and I don’t mean Bloomberg) who outdid all the present nominees and had a tremendous shot at winning, that’s who would get my vote. The word du jour being WINNING. So far it is Trump.
