Can Cruz derail the Trump Train?

The last debate illustrated that Cruz is best at debate, Trump is best at campaigning, and Rubio best at speaking. In the end I believe it was a draw between Cruz and Trump, with Rubio placing not too far behind. I think Cruz could’ve solidified a victory had he not given Trump a lay up on the “New York values” argument that allowed Trump to show his caring side. He should’ve framed Trump as a “New York Republican” which would’ve made more sense and stuck. I wish Dr. Ben Carson could figure out how to place his initial reaction into a soundbite and then explain himself – he’d gain more traction. He should definitely be in someone’s cabinet.
