Alan Dershowitz said Cruz was always the best debater in all of his law classes.
I remember some one saying and I don’t recall if it was Dershowitz, “that some people have telegraphic memories but Cruz has an ‘audio-graphic memory.’” He has done this many times previously on the Senate Floor where he would call out a Democrat and repeat that person’s own exact words back to them to make his point.
I believe that Senator Cruz has never lost a case he argued before the US Supreme Court. He was the Solicitor General of Texas prior to his election to the Senate. Go Ted !!
