What Was Ted Cruz Trying To Accomplish By Confronting Trump Supporters?

Well said, VK.  As you say, Cruz put so much weight in his oratorical skills.  He wanted to be another Ronald Reagan, but he should have aimed to simply be himself -- natural and honest like Trump.

Lucky for him the Golden Sacks devils released him from his eternal curse to malign and destroy Trump's character 24/7.  Truth be told, Warren Buffet and the Bushies treated Cruz as a worthless laboratory rat, a sacrificial animal to the Globalist cause.

With Cruz Super PACs unloading 60,000 negative ads worth $9 million in Indiana, was it any surprise that Donald would fight back?

In the end, Cruz seems to have taken Trump's counter-attacks personally.  He should never have accepted those gold doubloons in the first place.

Real nice analysis, Ninja. In the Navy, I spent 3 years at the base in Kaneohe. Miss that “liquid sunshine” weather.

“Cruz put so much weight in his oratorical skills.”

I agree. Most of his prior oratory situations have been contrived with plenty of time beforehand to prepare. In debates, nobody interrupted. In court, there were prepared scripts. Off-the-cuff statements and responses were things he hadn’t dealt with and didn’t understand. He couldn’t cope.

So true, Mayflower.

And a lot of misstatement of facts can be glossed over in a 5 or 10 minute script, so by the time your opponent gets a chance to reply, much of the rebuttal's force is gone -- or the audience can't follow the original line of thought.

Perhaps the debating societies should change their rules and make scholastic debates more interactive.

Thank you. :)

The weather is great, but the politics and cost of living here is crazier than some other states. Please come and visit again any time! And thank you very much for your service, pocono!
