Sen. Ted Cruz on Late Night with Stephen Colbert.
Disgusting planted crowd booed Ted. He still came off cool,collected, and presidential. I think even Colbert realized he was talking to no Rick Perry.
The audience may have been plants, but the fact is that Colbert appeals to godless socialist liberals, so that just may have been his ordinary audience.
To his credit Colbert did quiet the booing.
Why do politicians believe they need to ‘converse’ with this element of society?
Notice how each time Cruz was very effectively articulating his position and defending conservatism, Colbert would interrupt and talk over him, and change the topic.
I thought he was already canceled.
Is he still on the air?
This element elected the current WH occupant twice.
Not really disagreeing with you, but any hope a conservative and Constitutionalist has of attracting any of the Low Information Voters votes is via one of the low information shows.
They sure as hell ain’t gonna read any position papers, op-eds or even newspapers.
No, just your usual NYC crowd. They may have been goosed by the producers, however.
Courage in the lion’s den and its not the first time for Ted Cruz.
Helping God out by making judgment easier by telling the truth, letting them hear it, and they decide to reject the truth.
If tasting something 10 times gets your brain to accept a foreign food, does hearing something 10 times get you to accept a lie?
The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon is probably the only late night that will be fair to Cruz. Fallon has been evenhanded with candidates on both sides even though he is a Democrat. He has had Bush, Christie, and Trump on as well as Hillary.
How long is he subbing for that other dumbass...what's his name?...something to do with the Postal Service...uh, Letterman, yeah.
When's he coming back?
Not that anybody watched him, either.
Its interesting that the audience booed when he said that marriage is to be left up to the states yet cheered 2 minutes later when he said the supreme court was never intended to make law for 350 million Americans.
I’m glad he did the show.
IF he can do that well with Moonbats he can do well with republican Vampires.. thats my logic..
WHY did he do well?... laser focus on the truth..
The Host was set to trip him up.. but he was like YODA..
VOTE for TED CRUZ the Jedi Warrior..
The cheers were middle range because the others had to think about what the Bill of Rights actually said. Noticed that Cruz said “five lawyers” were making laws. Every time I think about the interview of Antonin Scalia I want to cry.

Jedi MIND TRICK!...... Speak the truth..
I don't think Republicans should go on these shows either. For one thing, the host will try to be funny, and the Republicans will come off as not funny/not cool in the eyes of the idiotic leftwing audience as they attempt to tell lame jokes. This is in contrast to when hosts like David Letterman would have Obama on. He treated Obama as if he were in the presence of a saint.
To Cruz' credit, he did not come off like a total stiff. I think he got the applause of half the audience when he schooled Colbert on the Constitution and "gay marriage". To Colbert's credit, he was less annoying than he would have been with his "Colbert Report" persona. The only other candidate who will probably do well on Colbert's show is Trump.
The interview was full of gotcha simplistic questions and Colbert talked over Cruz a lot but Ted acquitted himself better than most in that venue.
