Do you think it is nice of Ted to try to debate a regular joe, and try to demonize Trump’s supporters as idiots there and other times he insults Trump supporters in general ?

I like that Trump ignores reporters and hecklers, 90% of them don’t care if Trump is being sincere to the interests of Republican voters.

Why does Cruz or anyone have to or want to ingratiate himself to the opposition or people who don’t want to help him?

He wasn’t trying to debate the man, he was trying to engage in a thoughtful conversation to win the guy over — and the guy responded like a jerk. If you watch the full six minute video, Cruz was gracious to the man when most people would have either punched his lights out or walked away in disgust. I did the same thing when I was on the campaign trail, walking into a crowd of SEIU counter protesters — I shook their hands and tried to put a friendly human face on the candidate they were being told to hate and fear. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. — It was an incredibly great risk for Cruz to take in front of the cameras.
