Cruz handles zingers and gotchas like a pro. Just hope when he is asked kegigimate questions that he is equally adept with the truth too. Most likely.
Man I miss Ninfa’s, It was my favorite
CNBC?? Are the Canucks now trying to jump on the Hate Cruz bandwagon. What do they care?

Pretty impressive...
• Solicitor General of Texas from 2003 - May 2008, Cruz was the first Hispanic Solicitor General in Texas, the youngest Solicitor General in the entire country, not to mention the longest tenure in Texas history.
• Partner at the law firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, where he led the firm’s U.S. Supreme Court and national appellate litigation practice.
• Cruz has authored 80+ SCOTUS briefs and presented 40+ oral arguments before The Court
• Cruz served as a law clerk to Chief Justice William Rehnquist. Cruz was the first Hispanic ever to clerk for a Chief Justice of the United States
• Described as a ‘superb’ constitutional lawyer, the man’s considerable skills and laser-like focus were on display for all when he took oily reptile Eric Holder by the neck and made him
answer the damn question.
• In the landmark case of District of Columbia v. Heller, Cruz assembled a coalition of 31 states in defense of the principle that the 2nd Amendment guarantees an individual right to keep and bear arms.
• Cruz presented oral argument for the amici states in the companion case to Heller before the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
• In addition to his victory in Heller, Cruz has successfully defended the Ten Commandments monument on the Texas State Capitol grounds, the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools and the majority of the 2003 Texas redistricting plan. Cruz also successfully defended, in Medellin v. Texas, the State of Texas against an attempt by the International Court of Justice to re-open the criminal convictions of 51 murderers on death row throughout the United States.
• Director of the Office of Policy Planning at the Federal Trade Commission
• Domestic Policy Advisor to U.S. President George W. Bush on the 2000 Bush-Cheney campaign.
• Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Texas School of Law in Austin, where he taught U.S. Supreme Court litigation
• Ted Cruz is currently junior US Senator from Texas. In order to win the 2012 Republican nomination for the Senate seat vacated by Kay Bailey Hutchison, Cruz had to defeat Texas Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst -heavily favored/backed by the DC old-guard GOP- in the Republican primary runoff. In the event, TEA Party favorite Cruz crushed Dewhurst, 57-43%...
he then beat Democrat Paul Sadler in the general election by a similar margin, 56-41. Cruz is also endorsed by the Tea Party Movement and the Republican Liberty Caucus.

Godspeed, Senator Cruz- I’m all in.
I like the way he calls out media bias directly to the face of the media.
The more they try to rattle him the smoother he gets. This is good practice and by the time primaries and the general come around he should be untouchable.
Sen Cruz and I have something in common, visceral dislike of guacamole avocado. And it appears for the same reason. I also grew up with an avocado tree in my back yard. Can’t stand the stuff anymore.
Seems like fuzzy math. I thought it was $8T when he left. What's a Trillion here and there...
Fact checking a joke. Now that is funny
I am troubled about his position on guacamole. He must really hate Mexican people. /s
I love how Cruz does not take the premise of the question; and instead, turns it around .. it’s a gift.
The other thing was his - I don’t know - I wasn’t alive then. It was awesome.
I like the way he handles the questions.
"I'm sorry, but I'd don't accept the premise of your question."
"Now let's talk national debt."
CRUZ or LOSE!Being of Puerto Rican descent I find it insulting that a fellow Hispanic like Cruz has a visceral hate for avocado! :P </s>
Cruz agrees with me. It really WAS Bush's fault in this case, not something that Ross Perot did.
