I'm not sure how it's a distortion. I remember watching that part of the interview and that appears to be what he said.

I'll look it up and watch it again if you say that the ad is false.

The booger incident turned Cruz into a laughingstock.

There are already photos and video all over the web this morning.

I have gravitated towards Trump of late, but I am horrified for Ted this morning.

Ted was the only adult on stage.
Trump and Rubio were 3rd graders on the playground .

It is sad that trump defenders always go for substantive attacks... As playground bullies often do

Yes, there is no reasoning with the American people, who are too ill-informed to discern.

Here’s the part that is ignored...

“for the most it’s going to be a private plan
and people are going to be able to go out and negotiate great plans
with lots of different competition with lots of competitors with great companies
and they can have their doctors, they can have plans, they can have everything.”

We can argue the merits but when Trump referred to be people being taken care of
he was speaking of the impoverished or destitute.
I don’t know but some folks says that’s what is now in place with Medicaid and Medicare.

“Cruz crushed a breath mint. Partially, at first, but eventually, he got around to crushing the entire mint. :)”

Cruz did that by claiming that Trump, by giving a few thousand dollars to Reid, Pelosi, and Cruz, funded Obamacare? Saddled the entire nation with Obamacare?

According to Cruz, Trump, not George Soros, has been running the government for decades.

Only democrats want to win elections. Everyone else wants to play with themselves.

Pointing out the obvious, even to otherwise well meaning conservative minded freepers, has no impact. The delusions run deep and infects all.

The “right” side of the establishment will do all in its power to throw the election to the criminal hag. Whether for Cruz or Rubio, such supporters will willing seek defeat. It is in their genes, it is their destiny, and no amount of truth or logic can alter their politically destructive ways.

Like spoiled children, if they can’t have their way, they want no one else to succeed.

Unfortunately, this will allow evil to continue its course in destroying America.

"they can have everything.”

Seriously, Trump was for the mandate last week and now against it, was for obamacare but now against it, was pro abortion now against it, was for gun control now against it. Was for homos in the military, oh wait, he's still for that.

Those are his own words before being spun by his advisors and reexplained.

Cruz's path is more challenging still. But tonight's strong performance can only help Cruz--both with voters and with the party regulars who would play a big role in deciding the nominee should there be a brokered convention.

Outsider Ted not so outside.

“The record seems to be clear that Ted Cruz is a top notch debater.”

After watching all these debates, I just don’t see Cruz as a top notch debater.

He evades questions, avoids questions, twists comments and actions beyond anything that is logical, as in “Trump funded Obamacare.”

“I would have come back with the fact that, in most polls, 80-85% have rejected Rubio and all he could win was MN and finish third.”

Trump pointed that out about twice, about both of them.
