Entertainment tonight --- Republican debate

At 8:30pm Eastern time another Republican presidential debate will be on air.  Now it's Cruz time, a supposed upstart who is a major challenge to the Donald Trump phenomenon.  Ted Cruz has been biding his time, doing his work in various important states, and planning for the chance that now approaches.  He is the far right conservative who speaks so well, and has few limits to his "facts".

At this point there seems to be no viable Republican candidate who  could remotely be called moderate.  Jeb Bush was supposed to be that candidate, but he has failed to excite anyone even as he moves his positions further to a right wing fringe.

Trump will get the ratings and Cruz may be the beneficiary.  Who can avoid watching this?
