Trump didn't even treat Cruz as a threat anymore, which is a fact and probably the best way for Trump to handle it tonight.

For example, Trump never mentioned that Cruz had called Trump supporters "low information." Or that Cruz had lied about being endorsed by Chuck Norris.

No one challenged Cruz when he said incredibly farcical things like "We [the US] have never intentionally attacked/killed civilians [in a war or conflict]"...like EVER. WTF?

Then when Trump said we should be tougher with terrorists, Cruz and the others indignantly acted like that was terrible! Then two minutes later, Cruz said our problem in our military engagements is that "our hands are tied by rules of engagement."

Trump advocates peace in the mideast, the establishment trio become Israeli born-again hawks! Trump suggests going after terrorists families---which is what Israel does, they did it TODAY with a terrorists family, forcibly exported them---and they act like Trump is advocating a war crime.

They were all over the map---anything, any words or argument that could portray a Trump statement as extreme, crazy, etc.

Trump hung them out to dry tonight.

You mentioned Cruz flipping and saying our hands are tied.
Rubio said we can’t waterboard terrorists then turned around and said we’ll ship them to Gitmo and get info from them. How, Rubio’s Cube?

I picked up on that as well

I thought it also ironic that every other candidate said, emphatically .. like it was their own thought and words .. that they were going to build a wall and except I think Cruz said "finish" the wall

Well that is true as long as you exclude all the wars, conflicts, or foreign adventures that we have been in, or don’t know any actual veterans. I assume the italics in your quote indicate words Cruz implied but did not actually say. Cruz is a lawyer and debate “master”. The whole idea is to lie without actually lying. So what were his exact words? I watched the debate and couldn’t believe what I was hearing also. To me it was just another example of Cruz being Cruz... I no longer trust anything he says at all.
