Rubio knows he is finished after Florida, this debate was to prove that he isn’t a little kid. That he can be civil and hopefully for him, electable to another office. That is how I took Rubio’s performance. He wasn’t up there to destroy Trump because he was actually destroying himself more.
Trump did what he needed to do, look presidential, he deflected a couple blows from Cruz. Stayed on message and hit it out of the park by not stooping to Cruz’s level
Cruz, was trying to turn it back into a mud flinging contest but Trump wasn’t biting. Cruz seems to just ramble. Says a lot but accomplished nothing
Kasich Ohio must be the best place to live on the planet, I think I am going to cancel my vacation to Hawaii this year and go to Ohio instead
My view is that both Rubio and Cruz did serious damage to themselves during this campaign—Rubio with his middle school antics in going after Trump and Cruz with his comments on Trump’s supporters being “low information” and “unengaged.”
Wonder what the GOP-e promised them.
I, as a low information uninformed Trump supporter, am not buying what Cruz has to offer.
Trump’s my guy, but, he needs some Debate Training before he faces the witch in the General Election. Cruz/Rubio killed him on Israel and Cuba. You can’t handle a Communist country 90 miles away like a Real Estate Deal.
Re: Islam, he should have told the 3 politicians: “It’s been 15 years since 9/11, where are all these Muslim nation allies whose help we need? Where have they been for the past 15 years? Cruz says we have to understand the problem. We’ve had 15 years to understand the problem Ted, and you politicians are still trying to understand the problem with no results. The problem is either we kill them or they kill us.”
My man, Donald, needs to brush up a bit. Every Debate he misses some golden opportunities.
As an elitist junior Senator ... isn't that really his job?

If by ‘turn it back into a mud flinging contest’ you mean discussing anything in detail you would be correct. Trump has shown himself incapable of discussing any issue beyond saying he would do a better job cutting a deal.
Trump is the king of generalities.
