No, he sure isn’t. Having worked in two of the three branches he knows they are so corrupted from their constitutional designs, that an Article V convention is absolutely necessary.

She looks awful. What is the story there?

A black cardigan over a housecoat? No lipstick? No makeup?

The hair? They didn’t have a comb in makeup? She SKIPPED makeup?

I thought both Cruz and Couric did well. Katie almost acted like a real old-school interviewer and asked questions and gave plenty of time for Cruz to answer. Good interview. I didn’t view this one as a battle between interviewer and interviewee. This is how interviews should work. Sure ... Couric expoised some biases but in the current environment this was as clean an interview you will see from a liberal.

LOL - during the intro mentions that Cruz was born in Canada.

She brought it up again later, specifically referring to birtherism. Cruz's answer was crisp and thorough and included the identity of the first birther: Hillary Rodham Clinton. He closes his answer mentioning the example of Barry Goldwater, who was born in Arizona before it was a state.

She pops the birther question at 26m06s:

Her next question plays off Goldwater: Does Senator Cruz think it's possible to be too conservative to be elected president? He reminds her that every time the GOP runs establishment moderates, they lose, that the voters prefer the real thing to Democrat Lite, that, as Reagan said, the way to win is to paint in bold colors, not pale pastels. That we must bring together once again the old Reagan coalition.

I thought she wasn’t too bad, but I couldn’t bring myself to say it.

She once told about her daughter’s favorite joke:

An impression of a snail riding on top of a turtle. She put out her arms and shouted, “Wheee! Wheee!”

Utterly awesome interview. Cruz creams hyperliberal Katie. He crushed it.

Plain Talk...

She tired to channel her inner Tim Russert, but she pulled that same liberal Steponallofus format of interrupting him before his thought process was complete. She'd never pull this crap on Hillary, plain and simple. I give her 2.4 stars out of 5. Shame on her, she could have been a contenda...

I watched the whole thing. She hardly ever interrupted her. I was actually quite surprised at how restrained she was knowing this is Katie Couric. In the current environment that was as clean interview as you will get from a liberal interviewer / reporter / anchor / dirtbag type.

I watched it too, maybe I need to see it again. She seemed to step on his toes, maybe this is like you said the best we get today...

Hey I don’t necessarily deny anything you said happened ... It was a long interview. I just don’t remember any interruptions. In any event it was tame compared to how she treated Palin and I was shocked at how reasonable she was.

Perhaps this is a new Katie Couric and she wants to position herself as an old school interviewer? Or .. maybe Cruz himself is able to contain her better and this could translate into fairer interviews by other liberal journalists. Not sure.

That’s odd. The video was none of those. I would think it was a copyright complaint, but then, why not say so?
