AND THE PUBLIC LOVED IT – AT 9:18 A.M. ET:  The exchange (related below) between Ted Cruz and a CBNC questioner apparently electrified the public, according to Frank Luntz.  From RealClearPolitics: 

A Frank Luntz focus group aired on FOX News' The Kelly File after the CNBC Republican presidential debate agreed: Sen. Ted Cruz hit it out of the park with his warning not to trust the media. Luntz said he's never tested a line that scored as well as Cruz's.

"Megyn, I've been doing this since 1996. This is a special moment. I've never tested in any primary debate a line that scored as well as this. It was all about what was wrong with the CNBC moderators and wrong with the media. The best line of the entire debate," Luntz said.

"The questions asked in this debate illustrate why the American people don't trust the media," Cruz at Wednesday's Republican debate. "Everyone home tonight knows that the moderators have no intention of voting in a Republican primary."

"This is exactly what the media wanted to do and it actually turned out well," one woman said.

Nearly the whole group had positive feelings for Cruz after the debate.

"It was the Newt response from the last election," a man said. "It hit right home."

COMMENT:  At one time, political people were afraid to take on the media.  There's an old saying in politics:  "Don't start a fight with anyone who buys ink by the barrel."  I think those days are over.  The media will be Hillary's enabler, as it was Obama's.  By exposing the media/liberal axis, the Republicans can electrify our side, and get the good masses to the polls.
