I no longer believe anything that Donald Trump says.

He says too many contradictory things.

[Luircin]

Thing is, if they educate themselves, they have to stop being snugly self-righteous, and that is a sacrifice too big to make.

Cruz really turned me off tonight. Ugh. The overly-religious campaigning in Iowa made me cringe, and I’m a minister. It sounded like someone cynically using Jesus just to win a contest. And the lies upon misrepresentations upon lies tonight have confirmed that he’s either sleazy or letting this Presidential desire go to his head.

[Just mythoughts]

So Cruz was not answering Rubio in ‘Spanish’? Sure was not English.

[gg188]

Jeb took five days IIRC to answer the question—first, he had to run it through focus groups and polls to determine what his position was.

[Right-wing Librarian]

Well, I’m not Catholic, and I don’t care to be.

GO TRUMP 2016!

[huldah1776]

He has no pro-life statement on his website. After tonight he may go ahead and put it in writing.

[SteveSCH]

Trump was a bull in a China Shop tonight and I absolutely loved it. I disagree with the man on some things(GWB did a great job post-911) but he speaks is damned mind and has the guts to stand up when a room is stacked against him!

[FreeAtlanta]

Sort of like TWO Corinthians and waving the Bible saying this is his favorite book.... and his second favorite is the art of the deal.

Sorry, don’t buy it.

[Luircin]

I said this before, I’ll say it again.

Those exceptions aren’t perfect, or even good, but they’re a LOT better than what we’re stuck with now. If someone is genuinely against abortion other than that, then they’re a good enough ally for me, though I’ll be constantly trying to bring them around to the truth.

This is a battle for literal life and death here. I want to save as many unborn children as possible, and if that means allying with someone who’s got it mostly correct, I’ll take it.

[annieokie]

GOOD PERFECT ANSWER

[Syncro]

“I cannot believe Rubio was so foolish to think Cruz does not. That was a horrible mistake by Rubio.”

I’m sure he knew, he just wanted to get out of explaining why he was pandering to illegals by telling them the opposite of what he was telling us citizens.

Fox News thinks Rubio did great also.

As they did when he came in 3rd or 5th.

He’s there guy unless Jeb sitcks out.

Watching Fox now they are showing Rubio clip with giant applause.

Cutting out Trumps intelligent comeback.

[FreeAtlanta]

The problem with his mind is that it appears to have multiple personality disorder.

How can @JebBush beat Hillary Clinton- if he can’t beat anyone else on the #GOPDebate stage with $150M? I am the only one who can!

[Political Junkie Too]

I think there is merit to that thinking. Whether it was an intentional strategy or a continuation of what happened before, I can't say. I don't think the public will care.

The risk for Trump is still that the establishment will do whatever they can to make Trump "stink" to the public', to make him offensive to everyone. You can see it here tonight with the concern trolls who say "Trump lost them" tonight. The psyops war is starting now that voting has begun.

...."Trump loves his guns and is incapable of being politically correct. How many liberal judges do you think would fit that bill?"........

Trump Said His Pro-Abortion Sister Would Be a 'Phenomenal' Supreme Court Justice...

[TigerClaws]

He had Rubio show up after one!

Turns out Luntz was a paid pollster for Rubio.

All part of the Murdoch set up for scamnesty.

Heh...

[gg188]

Cruz IS a bad person---bad for the USA. Google his life and his wife's life over the last fifteen years. They have worked tirelessly in the fields of globalism to get the USA involved in terrible trade deals. Collaborated with people like World Bank Pres and Goldman Sachs Robert Zoellrick (Heidi was his adviser on "free trade" during her years at the White House.)

These are the ULTIMATE Washington insiders and are TRULY the Bill and Hillary of the 21st century. Their work for the Globalist Elite, their resumes, their shady connections, will blow your mind. They PEDDLE INFLUENCE. Heidi zoomed up Goldman Sachs just after they got a gigantic chunk of the $700bn TARP.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Cruz just threw the anchor in with the chain wrapped around his ankle. The Dems would carve him up in the General with his flat tax position.

Wait a minute.

I thought Cruz spoke of his 16% retail sales tax, which eliminates all the other taxes...and is NOT a VAT.

That's not a "flat tax".

[Luircin]

What, did Cruz do that? Oh wait, you meant Trump.

Huh.

Did I mention Trump at all in my post?

Hmm, looking back, no I didn’t. How about that? You can’t defend Cruz’s sleaziness and so you have to go deflect.

Oh, and you know what? I’m a minister and I’ve said ‘Two Corinthians’ more than once, especially when I’m reading off of a card.
