Stuttering And Defensive


  I did not watch the debate as I have virtually no interest in any of the remaining candidates. However I'm surprised that it has taken this long for candidates to go after Trump. Up to this point they have been gingerly walking around him, and the question is why. I've said from the very beginning that Trump would crumple under an intense assault, now it's probably too late.

Trump, who has emerged as the Republican frontrunner with remarkably little vetting, was consistently attacked for employing foreign and illegal workers, for his business record and for his lack of policy specifics.

It left Trump stuttering and defensive.

Too little to late? Maybe. A weakened staggering Trump going into the general is better then one left untouched. I do not want to see Rubio win. Cruz is ok, he's so repulsive and reptilian no way does he appeal to the public in the general. Rubio is a real danger to Hillary.

You're right, Rubio has that handsome guy thing that America loves so well. It will be interesting to see if Rubio's attacks on Trump last night have any legs. If they don't have legs, Super Tuesday comes long and Trump is triumphant. Unbelievable.
