Cruz says that despite his ardent feelings on issues, he never resorts to personal attacks against his opponents...

Smart, that. It keeps the debate focused on the issues rather than "He was mean..."

[Cincinatus' Wife]

I’ve been pleased to see how Cruz handles media questions — he instinctively side-steps leading questions and stays on message — denying his opposition out-of-context quotes for anti-conservative headlines (not that it stops them entirely — but they have to make it up).
