Ted Cruz levels blistering attack at history’s worst debate moderators

Lowering the boom

If you watched last night’s debate, you witnessed the media at its absolute worst. The debate moderators were combative, biased, insulting, and agenda driven. Their questions were mostly designed to get candidates yelling at each other (a strategy that didn’t really work) and they often stemmed from faulty research.

In short, it was a long, embarrassing, night for left-wing talking heads.

The fun part was that, almost from the outset, the terrible questioning united the candidates against the moderators rather than pitting them against each other. Eventually the whole thing devolved into a bizarre display where CNBC’s “finest” tried to prove they deserved their paychecks, while the GOP candidates tore them to shreds.

Cruz has begun his rise to the top, as I knew he would. His organized ground game in the Iowa counties may/should put him over the top there. No one knows how this candidate contest will come out in the end, but I know he is running the best organized campaign of any I have ever seen. Put that, along with his brain knowledge, together, and he has an excellent chance to win.

I did not watch it. The left has decided to destroy all the Republican candidates, now that they have absolved Queen Hillary of all her crimes and crowned her the First Woman President.

They are bastards, and will only get worse.

I have been watching the announcements from his campaign regarding who is being put in charge of campaigning for him in this or that state, and i've been watching the minor endorsements for him which have been coming in, mostly in Texas, but elsewhere as well, i've been watching the announcements regarding Donors to him, and I told myself "Cruz is quietly putting together teams in all the states and doing the nuts and bolts work necessary to make things happen."

While people like Jeb run their mouth and say stupid things, while the establishment is panicking about Trump, Cruz has been masterfully engineering his own victory.

He is demonstrating brilliance, decisiveness, and strategy in what he is doing, and I shall not be surprised if he overtakes Trump and Carson. He appears to know how to play this game very well.

I keep saying this. The media are our enemy, and we need to be figuring out ways to destroy these people. We need to be thinking of ways to bankrupt and arrest the liberal people who run these media companies and we need to disrupt the liberal monopoly on the information control systems such as broadcast, cable, satellite and the internet.

We need to pry all these communications systems out of liberal hands, and it ought to be our number one priority.

The debate moderators could not have done a bigger favor for the republican candidates and the general public.

They were everything FReepers have known for a long time. Biased, dishonest, incompetent, unqualified, shallow, immature, they epitomize everything that is wrong with the media.

In other words, perfect democrat candidates for high office, which they are interchangeable, as they are one and the same.

“He appears to know how to play this game very well.”

You’re correct about Cruz. He did the same in Texas to win the Senate seat. Every county in Texas was covered with his people but the polls showed him losing the day before the election. The next day, he won with a commanding lead. He knows elections are won in every county, not in stadiums/auditoriums making speeches, although that needs to be done as well.

I, too, read those announcements of his people being in charge of this state or that state and workers in those states/counties. I actually copy and paste those lists on my computer to keep up with those appointments state by state. He also knew he had to have “x’ money to do that so he entered the contest early to gather money while there were not any other candidates. Maybe he won’t win, but he’s doing everything required to get there.

Ted Cruz confers with his most important supporters during a break in the debate.
