The Republican establishment has already tried to take down Donald Trump unsuccessfully.\u00a0 \u00a0They failed miserably.\u00a0 The problem was that the things the Republican establishment considers to be outrageous are the things that people have wanted to hear for a long time.\u00a0 For example they slammed Trump of being too mean about letting Muslims into the country.\u00a0 That sounds terrible to the tone deaf Republican establishment but is music to the ears to people sick and tired of political correctness substituting for common sense.\u00a0 These kind of silly attacks just made Trump look better.<\/p>\n

Cruz, on the other hand never played that game.\u00a0 He avoided making personal attacks on Trump.\u00a0 While everyone else was attacking, Cruz was watching.\u00a0 Cruz has discovered that Trump\u2019s Achilles heel is his ego.\u00a0\u00a0 While Donald is good at throwing a punch, he is terrible at taking one.\u00a0 He nearly came unglued when Cruz beat him in Iowa.\u00a0 Trump cannot stand to lose.\u00a0 He cannot stand to be laughed at.\u00a0 Cruz silenced Trump when he laughed at Trump and said that he actually enjoyed watching Donald get upset.\u00a0 Trump may be stepping into the lion\u2019s den again.\u00a0 He is accusing Cruz of lying and it is Trump who has his facts wrong.\u00a0 The following article in the Blaze is excellent at explaining this.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/stories\/2016\/02\/11\/ann-coulter-accuses-ted-cruz-of-lying-about-donald-trumps-position-on-health-care-but-did-he\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Ted Cruz is a highly experienced trial attorney capable of arguing cases before the U.S. Supreme Court.\u00a0 He is extremely precise at what he says and that makes him a dangerous opponent.<\/p>\n

Trump has won most of the prior exchanges because he is brilliant at trading insults.\u00a0 He is gifted at getting under people\u2019s skin.\u00a0 He is particulary good at intimidating Jeb Bush.\u00a0 But Cruz doesn\u2019t have thin skin and this tactic doesn\u2019t work with him.<\/p>\n

Here is how that is likely to go down.\u00a0 One of the moderators is going to ask Trump if he really thinks Cruz is a liar.\u00a0 At that point, Trump has to put up or shut up.\u00a0 That is a major problem for Trump, because he does not have the facts to back up his accusation.\u00a0 If Trump is smart, he will try to dodge the question.\u00a0 But I don\u2019t think ABC will pull a Chris Wallace and stop Cruz from responding. \u00a0\u00a0One thing is certain, Cruz will be more than ready if given the opportunity.<\/p>\n

The main stream media tends to down play Ted Cruz\u2019s debate performances.\u00a0 One reason is that he is rarely attacked by the other candidates.\u00a0 They have learned to avoid that.\u00a0 Cruz throws a mean counter punch.\u00a0 So they tend to attack each other and they suck up a lot of the air time.\u00a0 Cruz is not all that good at the 25 second rehearsed speech so it has been difficult for him to showcase his talent.\u00a0 \u00a0This debate may be very different.<\/p>\n
