Ted Cruz was a champion college debater.
But that’s about as relevant to televised political “debates” as being a champion college golfer.
Exactly right...The political “debate” is NOT a debate...
Trump cleaned them all out in the political so-called debates...
Cruz participated in individual events and won a championship between a small number of schools in the US and Canada. He was not on any championship two-man debate teams that participated in the National Debate Tournament (NDT). Somewhat like calling yourself a college football star without never having played in an NCAA game.
A master debater IMHO..
