Many Koolaid drinkers here are mad that Len didnt just spend the 20 minutes praising Cruz...Personally, I was disappointed that Jay Leno kept ARGUING with Senator Cruz...
...particularly when he used such lame, easily refutable leftist talking points......and then did not give the Senator the opportunity to reply fully.
FWIW, I have been in the studio audience when Jay interviewed Sarah Palin (once) and Ann Coulter (several times)...
...and in THOSE cases, he challenged them, but allowed them ample time to respond.
I thought it was really good and that they both did a good job.
Cruz is willing to break out of the fantasy world of talk radio where he just gets praised over and over and instead to take on real questions that he will get asked in the real world.
WAY Better now then the debates in 2016 where like the others who got them and decided on the spot :”DUHH, I never thought of that. I never been asked that before. Maybe I should just smile and pass on it”

Jay seemed almost smitten with Sarah (who can blame him?), but with Ted he was downright contentious.
