I was only able to take in about 30 min worth, around 9:15. In 25% of that sample debate time, I saw Cruz given about 1% of the time.
For those that were saw the entire thing, was this Dearth-of-Cruz just a small part, or did his share of time even out over the 2 hours?
As unfair as it might have seemed, Cruz got a question and his closing remarks close together at the end, giving him more final exposure than others. And people remember the beginning and the end the most and I think it helped him.
