I see it the same way. This is a windfall for Cruz. I plan to watch the debate, rather than follow the herd. Trump's presentation tonight is laudable too, support the veterans, but his presentation is not going to have any surprises, seeing as how he controls it!
I predict tonight is more of a windfall for Rubio and Rand Paul to trash team Cruz. :-)
It ain't over yet. Trump's rally is 3 miles from the debate stage. Rush said he believes that Fox is still working to get Trump into the debate.
I thought so when Trump made his "final" statement, two days before the debate, leaving him two days to negotiate with Fox. It's deal-making brinksmanship.
I'm afraid that Fox will cave. Even if they don't, Trump will declare victory and show up tonight. His ego won't allow him to skip the debate.
