Cruz pointed out how the moderators were treating everyone, and contrasted it with what they did with the dems. By making it a universal observation, he kept it from being a whine.

Bravo to Senator Cruz!

The criticism of Ted Cruz this election cycle has been that he’s been too canned and too rehearsed, and he uses his talking points. And when he does that, he can come over as a bit unctuous and oleaginous. But when you just let him rip impromptu like this, as you say, what gave it force was that he remembered with absolute specificity all the stupid questions that these boneheads had wasted America’s time with. And that’s the Ted Cruz that is absolutely great, and he transformed that debate

...

That’s what Trump’s been doing all along. I saw an interview where he said the energy of the audience is so much greater when he speaks his mind.

Its interesting - last week’s candidate of the week - Carly Fiorina - actually had the most time to speak at the debate yet no one is talking about her at all.

Pardon me for criticizing the writing style of the Great Mark Steyn, but he is being redundant.

I always love Mark’s take on things. He is great! So funny, as well, most of the time.

the ones who lost were the ones who didn't participate in that ...Jeb Bush and Kasich and Rand Paul.

Paul in particular, since he was up next, could have tag teamed the moderators, but instead chose to deflate the energy of the moment.

Kasich was this week's designated Trump killer so of course he wouldn't join in.

Right. That should be obvious. I guess.

C'mon Mark, you made that up. I've never seen that word in my life.

“unctuous and oleaginous”

Now there are two words you don’t hear every day!
Had to look em up.
