Sen. Ted Cruz faced off with a group of Donald Trump supporters on live television Monday in Indiana. The state's critical primary is tomorrow.

"If you support Donald Trump, he's playing you for a chump," Cruz responded.

The full exchange from beginning to end:

At this point, every time Cruz opens his mouth, he is lying.

Pretty much; it is a fairly disgusting display.

“his is the man to take on Hillary”

While Ted Cruz is no doubt a smart and gifted lawyer, he is not a retail politician. You seem to equate him debating someone with no experience and lesser command of words to going up against a polished, ruthless politician.

You probably won’t admit it, but Ted got his head handed to him more than a few times during the debates. Go back and watch the debates again and you’ll find many instances of Ted dangling in the wind or giving us the “dear in the headlights” look. Trump, who had no experience at all in retail politics or debating scored on Ted regularly.

Donald Trump may not have debate trophies, but he knows how to slice his opponent, and whether by death by a thousand cuts or a well placed kill shot, he gets the job done. And he gets it done with efficiency and economy. Ted has spent $128 million to Trump’s $35 million; Trump has spent $35,000 per delegate to Ted’s $230,000per delegate. A 6.5 to 1 ratio.

And based on the polls, states won, votes garnered and delegate count, tell me again who is the better debater?

Cruz supporters are the ones who refuse to accept the factual truth; you hang on and on and one, as Ted gives up his last lying gasp of breath, which you all attempt to collect as a “holy relic”. Too, too funny for words! LOL

So do I !

If he REALLY was THE debate champion in college, then the rules and scoring, for such debates, have been dumbed down and GREATLY DIMINISHED, since I was on the high school debate team.....forget about being on my college team too!

In college ( Senior year ) I even judged local high school debate teams and those kids were BETTER than Ted is on a good day.

>>>Looked more like a free campaign commercial for ted cruz<<<

if so, it played badly. no one likes to be talked down to by some old scolding school arm. when asked “what are you going to do?” he responded with “i’m glad you asked Trump, Donald, Trump, Donald... repeat”.

what the H E double L is his problem that he can’t answer a question without the “Donald” repetition? it’s sounds freaking insane.

>>>Now my guess is that these guys were probably paid to look like protestors... Ted saw Trump get a big boost in California from the rioters... and thought... hey I could set up a more controlled “confrontation” that would give me a bump too...<<<

if so, it was lame theatre, he should pay them more to tip his bus over and burn some flags..... because this just ain’t cutting it..

The protester reminds me of so many of the Trump posters here on FR; Repeating the same tired statements again and again, unable to argue based on substance, and refusing to hear the truth.

The truth? LOL! I haven't seen Cruz speak in months without at least some straight up lie come out of his mouth in addition to several serious misrepresentations. Cruz tells often easily disproven lie after lie and his supporters eat it up without question and refuse to consider the actual evidence. I bet you even believe the most in-your-face lies, like "no one can reach 1237." How outrageous that he believes the average American is too stupid to see through his thick pile of B.S.

By the way, if you actually care about substance instead of Cruz's lies, I would encourage you to read:

Cruz was getting absolutely clowned during that exchange - following Cruz’ words “the question Trump supporters should be asking is ....” then you hear from the background “is Ted Cruz Canadian?...”

Lol

I completed LOL'd at that. There was another moment when Ted was taking one of his dramatic Shakespearean pauses midsentence when a "protester" filled in dialogue, and it was equally funny.

Some egghead from Club for Growth said that the protesters were "sent by Donald Trump to disrupt."

i don't think Donald Trump would even bother with such at this point.

Unfortunately, we have seen through the high intellect of one Rafael Theodore Cruzfuscation. And to characterize us as LIV is fighting words Tokyo Joe. Your guy is DOA, Dead Meat, 3 months past his freshness date, and inches from the crematorium entry way. It’s long past time to board the Trump Train to Indianapolis, Sacramento, and beyond.

Sucks for the average citizen that knows, but struggles to debate the seasoned charlatan.

It’s difficult to respect Cruz and Levin at this point given their willingness to suffocate common sense for the sake of ideological and personal ambition.
