The Debate: How It All Went Down "It's also about persuading the roughly forty-two percent who don't self-identify as conservative or liberal – the centrists. "What did they see?" Candidate by candidate:
Ted Cruz makes Donald Trump his Mitch . . . "Cruz also made the point that Trump was relying on Harvard Law professor Larry Tribe, a far leftist who supports Hillary Clinton for president.
"Trump was made to look small and petty as Cruz came out as the first candidate to challenge Trump in a debate and beat him." Relating to the discussion: Alan Grayson Explains Why He'll Sue Ted Cruz Over Presidential Eligibility
Out of touch Jeb! says Trump's Muslim ban is out of touch . . . "Jeb represents the worst side of so-called "multilateralism", the feeling that building coalitions at the UN or resolutions produced by the Arab League will accomplish anything. It won't. Protecting our borders, using military power, and showing terrorists we mean business is the answer, and on this subject, Jeb is wrong and Donald Trump is right"
Report Card: Trump, Cruz Dominate the Debate Stage . . . "Front-runners Trump and Cruz dominated the stage, Christie and Rubio asserted themselves as establishment contenders with flair and muscle, Bush and Kasich gave earnest, fluent presentations. Two extended scraps between Trump and Cruz defined the evening, but were unlikely to change the contours of a race that is just days away from seeing real voters vote." More on Trump/Cruz here.
Bush donors await green light to jump ship . . . "the donor class believes it is just a matter of time before the candidate they threw so much money behind drops out of the race.
3, maybe 4, takeaways from the Republican debate . . . "But clearly under pressures of the looming votes, they're sliding right on quadrennial schedule, into a familiar Republican fratricidal mode. Trump vs Cruz. Bush vs Trump. Rubio vs Cruz. Christie vs Rubio. Be assured, every one of those verbal shots already resides in Democrat video libraries, curing for autumn use.
Crowd boos Donald Trump during epic showdown with Ted Cruz over Canadian birth issue
The Skinny on the GOP Debate . . . "Jeb Bush’s PAC seems bound and determined to make its consultants rich by running attack ads against Marco Rubio; those attacks don’t even offer the probability the votes they’d shake loose will go to Jeb. And his debate performances continue to be woeful.
PJ Media: GOP Debate Wrap-Up: No Clear Winner, But a Couple of Losers "If John Kasich makes it to the next primetime debate stage, just stand him in a corner and have him hold a sign that says "OHIO."
"I said there were a couple of losers (Kasich and Carson) in this debate, but there were three for the night. Rand Paul did himself no favors by sitting out the earlier debate. It made him seem petty, which no one ever accused him of being before this campaign. I didn't even think of him until someone tweeted me that he was learning a lot watching Paul on Periscope. That was just sad. At this point it's probably a tossup between him and Carson for who exits next."

"Kasich. Simply. Will. Not. Stop. Flailing. His. Arms.
"And Ben Carson, who is a wonderful man and an inspiring figure, just doesn’t have a suitable command of policy to hold his own in this talented a Republican field.
"As for Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, Carly Fiorina and the rest — if you’re at the kids’ table, you’re through. Ditto for Rand Paul, who opted not to be a factor tonight.
"At this point, a four-man race is where we are. It’s Trump, Cruz, Rubio, and Christie. And any of the four ought to be colossal favorites over whoever the Democrats might belch out of their primaries."
But I feel Carly Fiorina should have been on the main debate stage. I like this candidate and want to hear more from her. TD
GOP Debate Winner: Ted Cruz . . . "Tonight’s GOP debate was Ted Cruz’s night. He went right after Donald Trump multiple times, but in a way that came across as forceful and informed, but not nasty. He also fended off a pretty vigorous attack from Marco Rubio. His strongest points came early and against Trump, when the audience would be the largest."
