Everybody has a bad day.
His intentions were good, to avoid a loaded question. He should have avoided it more head on instead of looking like he was avoiding a question.
To extrapolate that to your thread title is silly and almost certainly agenda driven.
How would he have “avoided it more head on”?

I dont think Cruz just had a bad day, it was a calculation. He knew he would be asked that question and that was the way he wanted to not-answer it. He should have just told the truth about what he believes (which I believe is what he said in 2011) and taken the heat. He is probably desperate at this point given that he isnt doing too well in the polls generally.
Cruz should have avoided Megyn Kelly.
When it comes to loaded questions, nobody can load them quite as heavily or destructively as Megyn Kelly does. She would do a fine job of rigging IEDs as roadside bombs.
That aside, I rather LIKE Megyn, as she is FEARLESS when it comes to confronting power in whatever form. This, dear people, is what vetting the candidates is all about. It takes an equally fearless opponent to come out of such a face-off still standing up and moving under one’s own power.
Ted Cruz probably acquitted himself reasonably well, and if he can withstand this kind of withering fire, he has it so much easier when facing most of the “competition” that is out there.
Just once, I would like to see how Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless, would bear up under the kind of scrutiny that is routinely dished out to Republicans. And Megyn is just the kind of person who would open up these hidden pools of corruption that fester just beneath the surface.
Ain’t pretty, but DAMN if it would not be interesting.
I like Cruz. If we allow Kelly to take him down, we get Graham or Jebby as our nominee.
Kelly Bad.
