Hey, I'll be honest here, love or hate Trump, he makes the debate fun to watch, even if he doesn't have any legit policies beyond "Building a Wall". With Trump out of the debate, it was a flat, dull, lifeless 2 hours. Not as bad as watching a Democrat Debate, but still as you said "meh". Ted Cruz just needs to go away now. He's been outed as a liar on National TV. But I doubt much will be said about it beyond today and his sheep will go back to following him blindly. Big mistake for the people of Iowa to do that. Overall, I don't think anyone won.....except Trump. He stayed out of harm's way and let everyone else take shots at each other. I still say Trump is a coward, but in this aspect, he comes out as the victor of not having to answer questions and letting his closets rival take the heat. Remains to be seen what happens when the first ballots are cast this coming Monday if he truly tanked his campaign by not showing up.
