All these articles on Cruz and debate miss the point entirely. The debate is unimportant- Ted Cruz has long since anticipated the questions, fashioned his answers, knows every opponent’s answer, his rejoinders– all the way down to what he says to journalists post debate. In his mind, the debate has already played out.

What is important in these articles is that Ted Cruz is characterized by all who knew him as an uncompromising conservative ideologue, who takes no prisoners, and is obsessed with completing his mission ---- and that’s what I love upon the guy.

Ted Cruz is the only one who will drive the McConnells, and Hatchs and Mccains and Boehner’s from power– and he will transform the GOP back to a limited gov’t party.

Incredible, on Cruz threads, when the trolls come on with the HB1 CRAP. What does it matter? If your candidate wont TRANSFORM the GOP, then no other issue matters!!!!

The GOP is a socialist party, that wants to create a permanent underclass. If one doesn’t stop the GOP-E, the middle class is headed for peasantry– HB1, free trade or not.

Its easy to be an awesome debater when confronting lies with truth.

That is all I ask of my candidate.

7. He's unnerving. "I remember him as a scary, driven machine who fought a protracted, bloody land war for total victory," Niblock said.

I can't help but like this one.

Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to slay everyone you meet Ted. And that he does.

Unlike Trump, Cruz takes a long time and a lot of words to make a point.

Yeah, but too bad it’s not a debate.

Cruz is by far the intellectual heavyweight and most competent debater. I wonder if Cruz and Trump have made a non-aggression pact.

I hope they pile on the biggest terd in the field- jebbush.

” If one doesn’t stop the GOP-E, the middle class is headed for peasantry– HB1, free trade or not.”

That misses the point. HB1, free trade, global bankers before country, THAT is the essence of GOP-E. If you are for those things, essentially you are GOP-E.

Cruz is not even the final candidate and we have old classmates talking about him to the LSM. Yet our current president was the editor of the Harvard Law Review and we still have not seen anything he wrote or have had any classmates come forward.

Hi VinL,

I’ve written before, Cruz plays three dimensional chess and the others are lucky to find the stage. He was born for this time. He was born for this moment. Cruz plays aggressively, with reckless abandon because he knows who he is; and whose he is.

“Ted Cruz is the only one who will drive the McConnells, and Hatchs and Mccains and Boehner’s from power– and he will transform the GOP back to a limited gov’t party. “

And that should be all that matters, not the nitpicking by a select few that use ONE article to get their ‘facts’ from.

I don’t know who I am looking forward to hearing most tonight - Cruz’s brilliance on conservatism or Trump’s taking on the establishment candidates who are shaking in their boots right now.

Good point about him taking on his own party.

As far as the debate...tonight is NOT a debate. It’s a bunch of mini-monologues. No real back and forth of substance.

I’m torn between Walker and Cruz...everyone else doesn’t have a chance for my vote (except Trump...that would be fun just to piss off the Washington elites).

Cruz screwed up with TPP. He was looking at how he could use that power as President. Walker has been a bit wishy washy on immigration.

Cruz will take on the GOPe. Walker will take on the liberals and win.

“He took all the fun out of it.”

Maybe it’s not so much fun if you’re on the opposing side. :)

By all accounts, Cruz is a star. Will the Republicans be savvy enough to see that?

Why, I have been told Cruz is a dimwit wimp with no charisma.
Are you sure of these findings?

I was very impressed by Cruz in a recent event regarding the Iran deal that was held on the Capital steps in Washington, DC.

When Cruz starts to speak, a group of Code Pink far-left loons, armed with their own PA system, starts interrupting the event. Cruz goes full jujitsu -- politely invites the Code Pinkos to his microphone, allows them to speak, and then hands them their asses with his superior rhetorical skills, grounded in logic and facts.

Exactly. Technique doesn’t make a master debater (though, ahem, it may make a difference in other kinds of baters). The knowledge comes first and that’s why Ted is scary. He knows what he is talking about, damn the technique.
