Cruz Easily Won the New Hampshire GOP Debate
Red State ^ | February 7, 2016 | Dan Spencer

Posted on 02/07/2016 6:29:19 AM PST by GodGunsGuts

Sen. Ted Cruz won the New Hampshire GOP debate. Cruz managed to stay above the hand to hand combat between the desperate governors and Sen Marco Rubio and Donald Trump. He gave great answers to the ABC News moderators, some of whom spent the night fishing for sound bites that could be used to help the Democrats' eventual nominee.

Gov. Chris Christie went after Sen. Marco Rubio early and seemed to rattle him. Unfortunately Christie came across as...

Interesting after Iowa, Cruz is now in third place for NH. Iowa was a very short victory. I was for Cruz first. Now, I still like what he says, I just don’t him anymore…

Trump could have hiccupped through every answer, and his robots still would have obligingly gone to every poll in the world to carry him to the top.

Certainly, but I’d dare say they are feigning interest in Cruz. The whole media on a whole just sux, imho.

Cruz won the debate? You have got to be kidding. We hardly knew he was there. He didn’t lose, but he certainly didn’t win either.

Trump’s comment on North Korea was right. North Korea does not make a move without the approval of China. To get to North Korea you negotiate with China. Once again Trump is short and to the point. No wasted political BS. That’s why he’s leading in the polls.

Yes I do know. The article that I read yesterday said that it hadn't been signed by all of the trade ministers so it wasn't a done deal then.

An article that I just read said that it has now been signed by all participants.

As you said it will be ratified if Congress doesn't vote it down with a veto proof majority.

I agree that is an evil, horrible agreement.

Has anyone asked Cruz about his vote?

I did not watch the debate and only read the transcript.

If you take the "reality TV" influence out of the rating, I think Cruz handily outperformed the others by staying above the fray. He did dodge Trump's come on and I am glad he did. No need to get in the mud just let them rant on.

Lil Jeb acted like a mommies boy saying, "He mentioned my name" many times

And of course Trump talked about how great and fantastic he is. Did he tell you how great he was?

Marco went on and on about Obama knowing what he was doing and really needs to graduate from High School before running for President.

Christi has the one line zingers down pact and knows how to use them. He needs to wash his right hand from that hand shake with Obama before I would even ever consider voting for that blowhard.

Kasich also stayed focused and on point. I was impressed but will not vote for him because he has turned way to left for me

Carson was bypassed so many times that I believe he was profiled out of the debate. Hate to say it but they singled the black man out and he was bypassed over and over on important issues. He got softball questions but on important ones, swish right by him.

Sum it up, Cruz looked more Presidential and his answers matched what I want in a President 85%. He has my vote.

You missed his McCain theory of torture and waterboarding. Trump had the answer of the year on that one.

I guess I missed it because when I read the transcript of the debate I kinda had a good laugh at his answer because no one could be serious with that answer. Right?

Well, whatever it is, you were inebriated on something to think that Cruz won that debate.

Perception is just a view that one believes to be true in ones own mind. You may want to have your rose colored glasses adjusted fairly soon though.

You sure lassoed the Trump-bots with this!

They are all here in deep burning, butt bleeding pain.

Very predictable.

Absolutely right. Being politically incorrect is not the same thing as being vulgar and rude. Political correctness is trying to tell us we can’t speak truths about “protected” groups of people.
