Hannity is the exception, but all others on Fox and elsewhere seem to have received a memo to downplay and basically ignore Cruz. As someone else pointed out above the headlines talked about the Rino backup Rubio instead of Cruz who had the best line of attack all night.
By the way, as I said, last night was not the emergence of this is ignore Cruz strategy. A few days ago I saw a pundit discussing who Jeb! has to deal with. The pundit named Trump, Carson, Rubio, Fiorina, even Paul, Huckabee and Christie. Absolutely no mention of Cruz; this can’t be mere coincidence.
Fight for Cruz because he fights for us.
It was Cruz who started the rally against the moderators. His ability to describe so clearly what the moderators were doing was genius. The total recall of the events of the debate was a sign of that Cruz has a brilliant mind. Later Rubio said the following, which was also brilliant:
“The Democrats have the ultimate super PAC; it’s called the mainstream media. Last week Hillary Clinton went before a committee. She admitted she had sent emails to her family, saying, Hey, this attack on Benghazi was caused by Al-Qaeda-like elements. She spent over a week telling the families of those victims and the American people that it was because of the video, and yet the mainstream media is going around saying it was the greatest week in Hillary Clinton’s campaign. It was the week she got exposed as a liar. She has a super PAC helping her out, the American mainstream media.”
Calling the media a super PAC was the best hit on the media since Sarah Palin. I think I almost choked on my popcorn.
