Well we know Cruz has no plan to help people with pre-existing conditions and want's millions to only have catastrophic insurance that would be useless for treating most common issues.

I don't like Trump, but I think as a general rule, it's rather unfair to hold a candidate accountable for people endorsing them when they weren't actively seeking that crowd. And that's simply because it is impossible to control that endorsement- you can insult the one giving the endorsement, you can repudiate the person who endorsed you, but you can't force them to take back the endorsement because the other person freely gave it outside of your control. That's a hard standard: holding candidates accountable to everyone that decides to endorse them.

That said, it seems clear to me that as the white supremacists are often concerned about the destruction of white culture and the low birth rate of white people, then a candidate is very appealing that is advocating a ban on immigration from people of a religion that tends to have a lot of brown people. So to, building big walls to prevent more brown people from sneaking in. But that's also where you get the Venn diagram overlap between different interest groups. I suspect Trump's policies have the biggest overlap in the Venn diagram.

Then stop calling it insurance and call it what it is: Free healthcare using government mandates to obfuscate taxes.

Cruz is getting nailed by the moderator over immigration. Literally everyone hates him, I guess.

....and he ducks.

He's the front runner on the stage, standard fare.

I'm pretty sure free health care is tantamount to murdering people and genocide. I mean, there's that mandate and we know that if you're not willing to kill somebody for not following a law, paying a fine, or paying taxes, then it's not a real law. I'm sure historians will look back on Obamacare and rename it "Obamagenocide."

Why can't politicians admit that they either made a mistake, or that with changing time their opinion changed? They seem pathological in insisting that when they said A and then not A a bit later that they are not contradictions.

I'm consistently surprised how many smart people don't understand this poison pill idea. Is this not a tactic people have seen in their own lives? Have parents not done this to their children? Pretty amazing.

Because they are weak and she senses weakness.

Should help him in NH this is not going well for Cruz or Rubio though.

How did that turn into an answer about terrorism?

I like dulce candy. I don't have a clue what she said, though. Carson and I were both mesmerized by her eyes and slight lisp, because he also has no idea what she said.

Do you mean the one when Rubio was talking about amnesty, or the one when Carson was talking about immigration?

Pretty sure if "Not Hillary" was an option it would win the nomination and possibly the general.
