That's one of my big issues with Kasich.
Kind of like Rubio has hinted he wants US ground forces in Syria.

It's sad when the two most reasonsable candidates don't get a word in edge wise because of the three other buffoons.
That's what happens when you let the crazies in your party take over.
Well the reasonable people don't even get on the stage with the Democrats. You only have the two crazies.

So you are asking him to be a totally different person?

What state is he going to win? If he goes 0 for 12, he's done. Cruz is still alive if he wins Texas.
Minnesota. Possibly Oklahoma if Trump trends down over the weekend. Rubio doesn't have to win big on Tuesday if he finishes 2nd and picks up delegates, and Trump trends down. If Trump remains steady or rises from current polls then it could be over.

The moderators should have never allowed that. On 2 different occasions, he shouted through the entire time alloted to Cruz and Rubio to make their argument and then moved on to Kasich and Carson. The middle of the debate was good when the top 3 were making their arguments until the moderators lost control. They need to cut the debate to 3 and let let them argue, speaking for 3-5 minutes at a time each. Cut Trump's mic off if he shouts over the other two during their time.

I think that pretty much sums it up.
Rubio just didn't leave a good impression last night. He nailed Trump but didn't do anything for himself. He didn't say much about what he would do. And he came across as kind of smarmy. Cruz seemed serious when he attacked Trump. Rubio seemed like a smart aleck kid with a big smile on his face.
Rubio wrestled in the mud with a pig and got dirty while the pig enjoyed it.

You got a full blown commie and a psychopath running for the Dem spot, but yet the crazies are in the Republican debates. Go figure.
And yet I will still blindly vote for either of those fools
So true...
Misrepresenting what someone else wrote should be a bannable offense.

and representing what a person is actually saying is considered free and truthful speech.

Rubio can't just keep finishing 2nd and calling it a win.

Why not? We seemed to have slipped into an alternate reality here.

Yeah, he talks fast. While Cruz, I feel that I have to fact check every word he says especially when he starts a sentence with "Never in the history of the United States...."

I like Cruz...but sometimes his intelligence is his downfall. For instance, that exchange with Trump about people dying in the street. I understood where Cruz was going, but given the line Trump was using, it was best just to move on. In fact, Cruz had won the point just a few minutes before...but, then he kept going.

Agreed. Cruz and Rubio had Trump dead to rights on his lack of a health care plan, and Cruz gave him an out with the "dying in the streets" BS. It allowed Trump to change the subject and run out the clock with that whole narrative.
They should have just shut up, and allowed Trump to talk in circles.
