So, Cruz has gone over to the dark side!
What I noticed about Trump last night is that he talks over people and interrupts them so that they can’t make their arguments until the time runs out. It’s the same tactic liberals use on news shows when they can’t win an argument.
Guess immigration isn’t as important as Cruz thought it was.
Rubio is nothing more than Obama-lite.
He’s for massive immigration (including the false claim that it would be unconstitutional for us to limit Muslim immigrants), amnesty with not only legalization but citizenship.
His “replacement” of Obamacare is really just Obamacare clothed a little differently: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/431935/marco-rubio-healthcare-individual-mandate
Rather than a GOP-type cut in taxes, he’d have only the slightest of trims—with a big child-care tax credit added in.
He was the 60th vote for TPP, leading to TPA.
He’s for the Obama-advocated expansion of government lending for college—with the Obama-style limits to the length of time and percent of income that any borrower would have to extend themselves to pay their loans back—largely dumping it on taxpayers—both for previously contracted and future student loans.
Trump’s healthcare plan is far more free market oriented. As is his tax plan and his immigration plan.
Trump is for defending our national sovereignty over the supernational “trade” agreements that Rubio has advanced.
That Cruz says he’d support Rubio over Trump (and that Rush spent a couple of weeks this month plumping Rubio as a “conservative”) says a lot about Rubio and Rush.
WHY? What happened to Cruz?
Is this another creative media editing? 24/48 hour rule?
This is getting real interesting. Cruz knowing Marco should drop out first (no primary wins and Trumped in Florida) is pining for Marco’s voters and donors. Smart move on Ted’s part.
If Cruz believes that, he should drop out and throw his support to Rubio.
I think Cruz is losing it - better to find out now than later.
I agree with him. The Donald doesn’t even make a good person, much less a President.
Luntz made a surprising comment this morning on F&F regarding his focus group after the debate last evening:
‘According to the focus group, Rubio won the debate. But Trump is likely to win the nomination, because the meter didn’t really move against Trump.’
Well, he’s probably right about Rubio being much better than Trump. However, as we know, this is all relative.
Sad Ted, you have lost ‘it’. Rubio is pure trash.
Ted Cruz is destroying himself. Robot Rubio is part of the Gang of 8 and is determined to push amnesty down our throats. Cruz is smart enough to see through that empty suit, and yet he feels Rubio makes a better president than Trump!? It tells me that Cruz is at heart an amnesty supporter.
Wow Cruzaholics really ought to read this. Cruz just lost any anti-establishment votes he might have been courting. He’s put a stamp of approval on Rubio and he and Rubio are now the same...professional politicians who put party above country.
What Name Can Generate the Most $ for the FR? Trump? Cruz? Rubio?

So far ...
Trump 40 [by two pledges]
Cruz zip. [not one dime by anyone.]
Rubio zip. [not a dime by anyone.]
Healthy competition to help get this forum over the budget hump.
NOTE: number of pledges will also be counted as a separate and more significant IMHO.
Sounds like a very reasonable and accurate statement to me. I think the first hundred names in the phone book would make better presidents than Trump.

Last night Cruz embraced the IRS and amnestio in one fell swoop. Color him over.
