“Ted Cruz simply loves to argue.”
So do I, but I have a hard time believing that Cruz just started arguing without any provocation. He seems to be a very even-tempered man. If you hear someone say something blatantly untrue, you can’t just sit there and listen to them drone on and on about it. This guy makes it seem like he didn’t say anything to draw Cruz into an argument.
Replace the word “argument” with “debate” and I think it makes more sense. He wasn’t fighting, he was debating.
