“Cruz needs to eviscerate Rubio with the Gang of 8 deal. Can’t let him slither out of it.”

Well he has tried 3 times now. If he is going to try again Saturday, he needs to stop the lawyering and pastoral way of doing it. He needs to be brief and give reasons it would be horrible for the country. His trying to be the most intelligent in the room is not making Rubio look terrible. In fact, Rubio speaks on about a 7th grade level which is about what passes for Americans today and that is why he is rising and possibly getting the nomination. Only 1 in 4 have Bachelor’s Degree. Only 3 percent have a Master’s Degree. So why is Cruz speaking above everyone especially when debating the opponents?

Maybe Cruz declines to do Trump's dirty work for him. Maybe the rudeness factor is catching up with Trump. Maybe Trump polls better than he gets out the vote. Fact is Trump must win relatively secular New Hampshire. He has a polling lead but, as he knows, it can narrow. He probably has spent no more effort building an organization on the ground in notoriously finicky New Hampshire than he did in Iowa. Unlike many well-heeled candidates, he does not try to make up for that with incessant paid advertising like Moral Monster Mitt Romney did. Trump is soooooo vain that he apparently believes he will win by force of personality and media licking his boots.

As to the education factor, Rubio and Cruz are attorneys whose law degrees are at a level of doctorate, without foreign language requirements. Trump has at least a Bacheor's Degree from the quite Ivy League Wharton School of Finance at Penn, probably the finest school of finance in the nation. Cruz graduated Princeton undergrad and Harvard Law (generally considered the finest law school especially if we ignore the special case of Obozo). Rubio's education was more modest as to institutions at which he studied. His immigrant dad was a bartender, his immigrant mom changed sheets at Motel 6 as a maid. Is it a crime to be poor? If you were his parents, would you be proud of him? I would and I would be proud of either of the other two as well if education and profession are the standard.

You apparently don't like Cruz or his style. No one says you have to like either. What I have heard from Cruz does not sound like he is talking down to anyone but opinions are like, ummmm, noses and everyone has one.

The ultimate Establishment GOP elitist banker David Rockefeller recently said that we don't need more thinkers only more workers. That translates into an open expression of desire for the demise of the middle class and a desire for the cheapest of labor.
