Rubio will be sent back to his playpen.
There was a another guy there tonight.
He was a guy that has told us for years he was a master debater. He tried to make Trump look bad for not attending the Des Moines “set up” by FoxNews. He implied Trump was afraid to debate, and tried to call him out for a one on one.
Tonight he got another shot at Trump. Again, he came up with a big fat goose egg for his efforts.
There’s something really fishy about a guy that continues to brag about his debate skills, who never seems to win one against the other, by comparison “inferior” debaters.
Trump didn’t have to win tonight. He only had to hold his own. He did so. And strangely enough, the master debater failed to do any damage or gain any ground.
An amateur is standing right there waiting to be taught a lesson. Where’s the supposed teacher?

This guy didn’t do a terrible job. He wasn’t the worst there. He simply didn’t convert the extra point. At all...
You fail to understand the strategic thinking here. Cruz got exactly what he neede from the debate. He knew Trump has a lock on first. His goal was to keep Rubio out of second, and thanks to Christie, he got that. No point in taking on Trump. Smart not to.
Anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear, who isn't pathetically b l,ind and deaf by biases, could see this for themselves.
I was looking at Cruz very differently as well. He says the right things, but he can’t inspire or connect as he is saying them. He rattles them off in a singsongy cadence, maybe that’s why some call him Preacher.
I always knew he couldn’t get liberal, independent, or even low info voters. But he kind of is losing me. I’m a conservative. I agree with his positions. Yet something is not resonating, and I was stunned at his defense of himself re Iowa. It went on so long and was so defensive as to be, once more, tone deaf.
Martha Raditz (I think that's her name) ate his lunch on the NK missile preemptive strike question. She closed, "the missle has been on the launch pad for days."
Tonight he got another shot at Trump. Again, he came up with a big fat goose egg for his efforts.
**********************************
I suppose you’re referring to Cruz. I watched the entire debate, keeping track with +/- and x regarding their replies that were good/bad and slams on others. I scored Cruz with NO x’s because he didn’t slam anyone.
X’s I counted: Trump 10; Rubio 9; Christi 6; Bush 5; Kasich 8; Carson 3; Cruz 0.
“There was a another guy there tonight.”

Oh, so cryptic!
Though goaded to attack by Muir, the master debater instead demurred, giving a solid yet generic answer that clearly answered the question without bringing the discussion down to the Twitter-level competence of the so-called amateur.
Just maybe, there was political strategery to the master debater’s method?
