It does not show the poll afterwards.   That was the link I was looking
for.
I did not watch the debate.  I have my mind already made up.

About an hour after the debate, I decided to use my search engine
to search for "Republican Debate New Hampshire Poll" and ABC
news cane up. They had clips of the debates followed by a
poll with the lists of candidates.

Somebody please spell it out for me what the problem with Cruz is.  That's who I am leaning toward.  I know his wife works for Goldman Sachs.  But he doesn't seem to be as much of a jewhawk as Bush, Graham, or Rubio.  Why is he not the right choice?  I have seen insinuations too unclear to recognize what they are getting at.  And throwing Carson's campaign under the bus is not going to be very persuasive with me.

Arab Christians Boo Ted Cruz for Pro-Israel Remarks

Cruz tells them " If you will not stand with Israel, I will not stand with you."

Weather he would attend a gαy wedding or not.

All he had to say was "no". It would be a sin to say anything else.

Ted Cruz Flip-Flop Compilation

Another issue about Cruz. He forgot to report a $500,000 dollar
loan from Goldman Sachs to the FEC  for his 2012 run for the Texas Senate Seat.
I did hear a replay of the debate from last night and the exchange between
Senator Rubio by Governor Christi was fierce.
These debates are no way gentlemen like as it was between Kennedy-
Nixon Debate of 1960. The problems of the country is now a million times
worse than it was in 1960.
A tactic of the mass media I heard is that from now on they will ignore
Trump and pretend that he does not exist. This is the reason the poll
from ABC news disappeared.

 

Trump's pro life credentials aren't great, but if you never want Roe v. Wade  to be overturned then don't vote for trump......then all the Mexicans (who largely vote democrat) can come here freely and vote.
I don't see how any of the other candidates are viable options.
As for him strongly hinting that Israel is behind Isis, what more could he say? He's trying to become the president of America....he has to have at least a bit of tact.

That is the question. Are immigration and globalization and Islam, and just generally bulldozing all PC scruples, etc., of such immediate concern that they can override a weak pro-life platform? Or in other words, do Americans have to work those out first - stop the bleeding, as it were - before turning to the more fundamental moral illnesses? I tend to think yes, but I'm not 100% sure and the situation looks hopeless from most every angle. I don't think that Americans need to ignore their nation's legitimate secular problems (which do have a moral dimension, in the final analysis) and just be single issue voters going to the most pro-life candidate no matter his other faults. I could be wrong.

I honestly even believe Trump would do more to stop abortion than any of those other snakes.

That's a case that can be made based on him being a doer at heart. Who is better, the candidate with a strong pro-life platform who likely won't get it done, or the one with a weak pro-life platform who may well get it done? Anyway, it's a case.

I'd like to know what suggests that he'd get it done.

He's a doer who has done a lot in his time. He's forceful and gets what he wants, or close to it. It's the same thing that suggests he'll get the wall built and repeal Obamacare and so on. He does things. That's a big part of his appeal vis-a-vis the other candidates.

He seems much more adamant about Israel and yet can't bring himself to say it. If it's a given that you can't be anti-Israel and be president, why beat up these other guys for their pro-Israel positions?

I don't think that's a fair or informed assessment on either count. He doesn't seem more adamant about Israel, and obviously some skepticism and criticism is better than none. That shouldn't have to be pointed out.

Trump is only pro-life because he knows someone who might have been aborted and turned out to be a good guy. What happens next week when he meets someone who killed their child and then went on to be a great gal?

That's what he said publicly, at least. And a lot of people become pro-life over things like that, rather than by learning about natural law and ensoulment.

There's an abortion issue at the US Supreme court right now. Which of the candidates has made a statement to the court or to the public on the issue?

I don't know. Cruz? I said that Cruz is more solidly pro-life than Trump.

Thanks to everybody for the info about Cruz.  I suppose if Trump isn't nominated, I will vote third party or write in Buchanan.  The David Duke piece was very persuasive that Cruz is beholden to the tribe.
