Trump going “911 truther” again was totally off-putting. The statement that Bush lied about WMD also makes him sound like an MSNBC “Bush lied, people died” leftist and therefore a lot like he used to in all his interviews from 2010 and earlier. I was surprised Trump didn’t mention deportation in his immigration answer. Getting ready to “walk that back” already in time for the general?
I thought Cruz defended himself well and got in some of his best attacks on Trump. However Trump constantly rudely interrupting Cruz took away valuable time from him. The moderators should’ve put a stop to that. They should’ve had some enforcement mechanism in place for candidates who interrupt and steal time.
Trump’s answer on the 3 questions he would ask his situation room was a joke. A totally generic, thoughtless, non-specific answer.
Overall it was a debate that showed the worst of Trump, his rudeness and his lack of depth on the issues. The fact that he had to seriously answer a question about his profanity was just embarrassing. Made him look like an immature schoolboy in the principal’s office and as unpresidential as it gets.
After that crazy performance, Trump is finished. There is simply NO WAY this nutcase is going to win the GOP nomination, let alone become president. He needs to seek psychiatric help.
