I hope the candidates are ready for this question. It’s basically the ‘rape or incest’ version of immigration.
Cruz did not handle it well last night, in my opinion. I watched it live, and she asked him three times, and he was stumbling - trying to say that’s not a real question. Whereas Trump said point blank, ‘Bill we have to do it.’
However, Cruz’s slam against Kelly, calling her biased, did work for him as it changed the narrative and many of today’s headlines. Instead of Cruz being stumped and looking like a typical politician, he made the story about media bias and Megyn Kelly.
I really just think Cruz let his guard down. He went into what he thought was friendly territory and got ambushed. I guarantee he’ll have a better answer next time.
I thought he could think on his feet. The answer that I would have is expected is “American citizens will not be deported, but the question is who, by the law, is an American citizen?”
