This headline is a succinct statement on what happened.
Both Cruz and Rubio were damaged, but more so Cruz.
Why Republicans continue to put up with this is baffling to me. Whether from CNN's Crowley or Fox's Kelly...or any number of "moderators" past and future, the media is intent on electing Democrats and killing Republicans.
All the Cruz supporters know this morning that Trump did the right thing by skipping this debate. And, they wish their candidate had done the same.
Cruz will finish 3rd in Iowa. He had a good shot at 1st.
Exactly why I've said... "he's NOT presidential LEADERSHIP material."
He DOESN'T assess the true situation. He's a debater who relies ONLY on his debating skill.
Trump saw what was coming.. Cruz was busy running his month and NOT assessing the situation.
