I thought the same thing. Any of the candidates would’ve gained by yielding their time to Cruz to allow him to give his views on the Budget Bill. As it turned out, the moderators backtracked at the end of the segment and gave Cruz his opportunity to speak. I’m thinking CNBC was reading the social media sites and seeing Cruz won the showdown.
The goal isn’t thoughtfulness, but trolling our candidates. Sadly, that’s the media we have. That Rand, who has zero chance of winning the nomination, didn’t take the opportunity to pass the ball back to his one ally in the Senate tells me all about egomaniac Rand. Nothing would have improved his chances of reelection in KY like being a team player, the conservative team player.
