My guess is that when you add up all the numbers... those who watched Trump’s event on the several networks that showed it and the people who watched FOX that the controversy generated a lot of interest. Probably the combined numbers would be almost as high as the first debate. But these numbers don’t mean that much... it is whether they translate into real votes that count. We won’t know those numbers for a few more days.
Anyone who watched the Trump event on CSPAN last night probably will tell you that it was one of his very best appearances. I doubt whether all the sniping a the debate hurt him a all. I have no doubt that the gamble paid off.
The Des Moines Register the largest news paper in Iowa had a headline this morning that said Cruz stumbled last night. I was a little shocked to hear the booing on clips this morning when Cruz complained about the questioning. With Trump MIA from the debate last night Cruz took the heat from both the “moderators” and the crowd and it wasn’t pretty. Ted definitely seems to do better when Donald is around. It is a little like an old Lewis / Martin movie... It is too bad that they are currently going nuclear on each other. I thought it was an act to begin with... but it seems like there is some genuine animosity going on at this point. I think the two sides would be better off calling a truce.
” Ted definitely seems to do better when Donald is around. “
Ted wouldn’t be where he is today without the Trump Candidacy! We would already be at the “Boosh Anointing Ceremony,” with a separate anointing for Rubio as VP.
