Trump did what he needed to do, look presidential, he deflected a couple blows from Cruz. Stayed on message and hit it out of the park by not stooping to Cruz’s level
Cruz, was trying to turn it back into a mud flinging contest but Trump wasn’t biting. Cruz seems to just ramble. Says a lot but accomplished nothing

If by ‘turn it back into a mud flinging contest’ you mean discussing anything in detail you would be correct. Trump has shown himself incapable of discussing any issue beyond saying he would do a better job cutting a deal.
Trump is the king of generalities.
Actually that is leadership
When Trump builds a tower, he doesn’t personally design the electrical system or the fire alarm system, he hires qualified people to do that.
All Ted Cruz proved is that he is a good senator, because arguing the minute details is what being a senator is about.
