Dude, he passed perhaps the largest overhaul to our healthcare system ever. He didn't have much time after that. Or much capital.
Overhaul? Overhaul implies coming out with an improved product. Not so here. On Trump, he's a genius. He's getting more face time, bagging on Cruz in a one-way conversation in which Cruz is not able to counter. AND, without Trump being physically present tonight the small dawgs will focus more on going after the next best thing, Cruz. Trump's numbers will rise after this. So will one of the candidates below Cruz, I'm predicting.
These debates need to be on the set of "around the horn" so that when the bell goes off the moderator can mute them.
