No one looked particularly good. But Cruz is the only one who lost.
It might not be the exact moment that sinks Cruz's candidacy. Donald Trump appears to deserve the credit he's taking for that. But it was definitely the moment when the bitter animosity people feel toward Cruz — his fellow candidates, his fellow senators, and even, apparently, Fox News — broke out in the open.
At the heart of the attacks on Cruz is that behind his claims of conservative purity, he is, in fact, no better than the establishment candidates on the stage. He may not flip-flop as often as they do, but he's just as interested in doing what it takes to get ahead.
That attack, especially when applied to such a touchy issue as immigration, robs him of his key appeal to the conservative base. And it leaves his chief nemesis — Donald Trump — not only with an uncontested claim to immigration hard-liner cred, but as the only Republican candidate who actually speaks from the heart.

So Ted can’t hold his own against a girl lawyer, an anchorman, and a geek?
[Or lack of sleep. He did a wonderful rally in NH without any sleep this morning]
So he has a stamina issue? He should ask Trump what his secret is.

My own prediction, for what it is worth, is that Amnesty will happen and the jihadis will keep coming in. Even when they start acting as they are acting Europe we will not stop them coming or throw them out.
Well, except that by definition, amnesty would be period with a definitive end date. So eventually the laws/wall would be enforced built and there would be no more amnesty. We’ll see.
I agree. That was pretty snarky.
I feel for you, Ted. You took the wrong fork in the road, ol' boy.
Wherever you meant to go, Ted, you can't get there from here.
I didn’t watch any of the debate.
To this day I do not know what Ted Cruz intends to do about illegal aliens in this country.

I don’t know if he intends to do anything about them at all.
I don’t see Trump picking as VP anyone who has lost an election. He doesn’t respect that
But both those gentlemen would be valuable cabinet members or advisors
eeyore is that you? :)
Was that the highest and best use of 2 hours of his time?
Theatrics arranged by intellectual and professional lightweights, to show he could outlast them?
Since when has Jim Robinson become a megaphone for George Soros’s sponsored rag, Vox? After they began beating the drums for Trump, Vox has had a lot of exposure on this site.
He was Smarmy last night, IMO.
If Trump had been on that stage he would NEVER have made those kind of lame remarks. Because he would have known Trump would have nailed him right on the spot. IMO, the remarks were cowardly.
The media and the GOP do not want Trump or Cruz to win the nomination. Had they somehow managed to eliminate Trump, you know they were coming for Cruz next. They are totally in the tank for jeb and rubio. They are under the illusion that they are going to win the hispanic vote.
