Cruz is a brilliant debater
He is. And as someone who debated in high school I can tell you that it's stressful enough with only a win or loss on the board. August 6 will be make-or-break for easily half the candidates on the stage and someone like Cruz, with his bacground and experience, will shine. Most of the rest will not. They will have their own "oops" moment like Perry did. Or they'll ramble and stumble and not get their message out. But Cruz will excel.
...and Jeb Bush is a master debater.
If Cruz plays this right he can show Little Jebbie for the socialist statist he is and make him Hillary’s running mate. Cruz stealing some of Trumps themes would send Trump over the edge possibly. Cruz should eviscerate Little Jebbie using LJ’s own words.
