You’re right. You are confused. Cruz was a National Debate Champion two years in a row and has a debate event named for him at Princeton.

What has been pushed on us as debates for the past several decades are not DEBATES!

They are nothing more than shows geared to advance an agenda.

I want a Thunderdome type of debate. Neutral questions participants must answer directly and challenge opponents.

The debates now are wussyfied pieces of programing poo.

He is a debate expert. What you watched last night was not a debate. Perhaps a candidate forum, but not a debate.

What are you taking about? This article has nothing to say about his debate style or skill, pro or con. It’s taking about how Cruz is well positioned to take the disillusioned Trump supporters when (not if) his campaign implodes. And I tend to agree with that analysis.

When it is a debate. These debates are not.
You are of those who reminds me not to be tacky with dissing other candidates. I guess it gives you joy, so go ahead on. But your attitude will not change a single person’s position.
I have heard Cruz speak concise positions on policies important to me and I am with him.

If Cruz doesn’t start showing me something in these debates I will start having second thoughts on Cruz as VP. Cruz is too submissive and that’s not what we need in a future President.

Truth is Cruz was not given much time. He has played it well.

He has stayed out of bashing fellow candidates.

He slowly moves and that is not all bad.

Now if he could just work on being more flashy and personable to the people.

Of course you are confused because it was not a debate. It was a Q&A like a press conference. Plus, he was rarely called upon.

He is. These cattle-calls we watch every few weeks are not debates.

It’s hard to be an expert when you aren’t given the air time, and aren’t rude enough to constantly interrupt everyone.

Well Nappy, stick with Walkman and this winter you can help him shovel snow this winter, which will happen before Cruz goes home.

Obviously, you're not familiar with how a real debate is structured.
