If anyone watched that filibuster, they had to be impressed with Cruz' strength, wit and knowledge of his subjects.
There were no teleprompters that guided him, just true belief and knowledge.
I can't wait for the debates, because, regardless of the subject or the slanted way that the "moderator" will pose the "question" Ted will turn it to his advantage and whip both the opposition and equally important, the "neutral moderator".
If he kicks the moderator in the "virtual crotch" often enough, they will whimper off to the side and not try to bust his chops again.
The News and Observers’ motto is famously:
