Sen. Ted Cruz did everything but call the fifth-column media “traitors,” which, of course, is what they are and do as they give aid and comfort to the enemy.
Did Sen. Cruz changed the outcome of the GOP and Presidential election year debate/primary/general election outcome?
Had seen that debate and had seen Sen. Cruz’s opening response.

Well it's too early to tell. I know a lot of folks want to look at the theoretical scoreboard and call it game over - but it's way too early to tell. Please not that the article did not say Cruz had changed the entire game, only that he had changed that one debate (NO DOUBT) , probably changed future debates (LIKELY), and MAY have changed the end result. Exactly what my piece in American Thinker said immediately after the debate was over.
“Cruz’s incisive mind was on full display here, as he methodically reproduced, without notes, the vacuous questions that had been asked to each candidate.
It is mystifying how Cruz being able to run down a very short mental list is pronounced as proof that he has an incisive mind. He may indeed have an incisive mind, but reciting that short list does not establish it.
Same here. I've donated several times and will again.
And as a bonus, he referred to Hillary and Bernie as Bolsheviks and Mensheviks. When was the last time you heard a presidential candidate have the cojones to identify the Democrats as Marxists?
Leaders call BS when it needs to be called. Others walk right into it. Cruz = leader
I love Star Parker. She’s just awesome.
A reference, indeed.
Now someone needs to go full on and call them Communists and Marxists.
They need to make the statement - “you say Democrats aren’t communists - how would they act differently if they were?”
He did, certainly changed the tone of the rest of the debate and I think viewers were more likely to listen to other things he said.
Cruz beat Hill in the pole outside this morning. Rubio 3 14% Cruz 4 13%.
I watched Megyn last night to see Cruz- would have as soon seen Harwood interview him. They cut pieces out and she had on her best look at how funny, cute and smart I am. Never again.
Ditto. I Stand With Ted.
Two questions:
1. Could you have done it?
2. Is there anyone else on that stage that night who could have?
I don't know the answer to question 1 but the answer to question 2 is NO. And if I had to answer Question 1 it would also be NO.
That is exactly what I did in 2008. I called Obama a Communist. When people would look at me aghast that I would call him that, I would quote “From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs” and ask what Obama policy goes against that. Granted, it was really more “to each according to their wants”, but I didn’t quibble about that. :-)
Nobody could ever give me a cogent answer to that question. And still can’t.
” Could you have done it?”
Well, yes, and I think average person can. Most women, when they get mad at their husband, can put that list of misbehaviors to shame.
Why not a debate which bypasses the entire media apparatus?
Why not an online debate, with Rush Limbaugh, Walter Williams, and Mark Levin as moderators, put on Youtube, LiveLeak, and other hosting sites?
A better question, when was the last time you heard a candidate that even understood what it means?
