A debate between Cruz and Hillary would be prior to the General election, not between Republican candidates. The viewing audience would be all voters. You are ignoring the last part of my statement.

...That will go over real well with Democrats and those on the fence when he starts that with an old woman at a timed debate. Do you think the moderators of such a debate would give him an inch?...

Rick Lazio was considered to be as good a debater as Ted is.

Yeah?
How many US Supreme Court cases has Rick Lazio argued let alone won?
I know Rick Lazio. He is not even on the same planet as Ted Cruz.

You have not been paying attention. After voters of all kinds watched him in the very high ratings GOP debates, he is now running neck and neck with Hilary Clinton in the polls even while Trump is getting clobbered by 10 to 11 points by Hilary Clinton.

You have not been paying attention. Who is voting in the polls that he is running so high? Republicans, that’s who. That’s what they think.

None of what you posted about Cruz matters ! Stop thinking about these things as being like a college debate; they aren't!

Like Cruz all you want to, praise his debating skills, vote for him in the primaries, if that's what you feel you have to do, but for goodness sakes.....FACE REALITY AS IT IS, NOT HOW YOU WANT IT TO BE !

Trump is the one I worry about in a debate with Hillary. Trump has no depth on the issues. Just saying "I have a terrific plan and you're gonna love it", won't cut it.

Yeah, so good "your head will spin" will only work for a limited time, but it's all Trump's got. Trump is as deep as a saucer, but a red-white-and-blue saucer!

Fill it with cream ... a debate between Trump and Hillary would devolve into a catfight, with ol' Trump the cattier of the two, sadly, with his name-calling and ugly "dummy" "loser" language.

Cruz -- young, confident, cool-headed -- would, as you say, annihilate Hillary or whatever Dem they select (whom that will be is outside our control). Our task is to choose, and we only get to choose one, OUR best guy to advance conservatism, and he is easy to spot. That would be Ted Cruz.

While there's still time -- dump Trump. Choose Cruz.

Trump is RUNNING AWAY with it in Florida!

We'll see how Iowa goes, soon enough.

Really? Just HOW WELL do you "KNOW" Rick?

I assume that you saw him debate Hillary, then; yes?

And if this is the case, then you're just being delusional about a Cruz V. Hillary "debate" !

The WSJ HATES Trump worse than YOU do.
This was written THIS YEAR, yet NOT ON WORD about this was written prior to his runniung in the GOP primary race. The article you posted is a smear job, a hit piece, for TDS sufferers to enjoy. LOL

Not a single good thing has come from handing the GOPe the Senate. McTurtle is worse than useless. He stabbed those who voted for him in the back.

IF this was not accurate, Trump would be raising hell. I can give you more sources, such as The Federalist, but you will only believe what you want to believe. Reality means nothing.

You have a abject lack of reading comprehension, I see.

Try going through the N.Y. Post and find articles about any of this that are many decades old. Then you could try the N.Y. Slimes.

Yup. I happen to live in New York. Watched him campaign and debate Hilary Clinton. He is not even on the same planet as Ted Cruz. You got to be nuts to even think it.

And if this is the case, then you're just being delusional about a Cruz V. Hillary “debate” !

Ted Cruz will clean Hilarys clock. And you can take it to the bank

Nope. What I posted about Ted Cruz is exactly what matters. It shows a guy with lightning quick reactions, razor sharp brain, strategic thinking etc. That is why Ted Cruz has argued and won more cases before The United States Supreme Court than almost anyone else his age. To even compare him to Lazio.....Lazio wouldn't even win a debate in kindergarten. You need to get off the drugs mate.
