Cruz always out smarts them in a calm rational manner that makes them look like idiots. He knows just what to do. He is not a coward or an idiot like most other Republicans.

There’s no excuse for a politician fearing embarrassment by a hostile interviewer. Does Cruz expect to be filit’ed by some interviewer? Is he unsure how to handle himself? I’d say the only way an interview could come out bad for the interviewee is if the interview is dishonestly edited.

Been off the planet for a while, Ducky?

And btw. 'dishonestly edited' is one of the media's prize weapons...

Or are your remarks simply that you're riding a different ox - and rather that just promoting them, with facts as to why, you're going to cast what you may think are cleverly disguised dispersions on others?

BTW, Ted Cruz scare the begeebers out of the leftest media...because they know he's NOT afraid of them AND that his knowledge of the Constitution, our history and the rule of law, his expertise in debating, etc., is going to leave them with egg on their faces. Their littl3e bag of dirty tricks isn't going to serve them well this time around.

Question to all: Does anyone b ut me suspicion that the plethora of republican candidates is a ruse by the GOPe to flood the field, thus diluting the time, the exposure, the anti-GOPe runners can get?

“Walker will not allow them to get to him. He is very good in interviews and of course getting things done. The rest need to worry as they are all weak.”

Your last sentence is weak.

Naps, every time you do this, you discredit yourself.

Given the traitorous behavior of the GOP Leadership, nothing, at this point, would surprise me.

Does anyone here know of any other Presidential Hopeful besides Ted Cruz that wouldn’t fold like a Cheap Suit under the pressure of a Biased Media Interview? I certainly don’t.

It isn’t even attitude and expectation of getting the Gotcha questions, Senator Cruz knows of what he speaks and he proves the Ignorance of his Inquisitor for all rational People to see.

For those who answered Donald Trump, well he seems to have a more visceral response to questioning but he is a rare breed, a half Democrat, half Republican Hybrid.

I have no doubt Cruz can and will handle the media with their stupid, obviously “loaded” questions quite well.

Anyone care to debate him?

Ok. So what did I say about Walker that is not true? I know you despise Walker so of course you are going to criticize everything about him. We disagree on who should run the country the next four years, but that does not mean that I won’t vote for the eventual nominee. I just don’t see how you can’t be impressed with Walker. Except for a couple of sentences that he muttered, his actions are pristine. Don’t you want an action guy especially an action guy that does the right thing?

I would have to put PBS on your list, too. We are footing the bill for them to teach to us communism. It is time for that to stop!

You know, the word filet used in this manner is a slight against the French. Just sayin’

“Been off the planet for a while, Ducky?”

Yes, it’s nice out there. From outer space I have formed the opinion that Cruz isn’t going to be intimidated. Also I like what Trump’s doing.

Next question please.
