I think Cruz came across as kind and down to earth. I think that’s good because he has been painted as a crazed meanie by the media. I think it went well.

Agree on all points. These kind of appearances may be less than dignified and Presidential, but Cruz in particular has been widely vilified as some sort of drooling cretinous Westboro Christian arch-nemesis. Appearances like this let Joe and Jana Average see that (a) Cruz doesn’t actually have horns, and (b) hey, he’s kinda nice and makes a lot of sense. So I hope he’ll do them whenever he gets a reasonably welcoming venue.
That said, when the audience booed Cruz as he explained to them that issues not specified by the Constitution are therefore reserved to the States, it made me hang my head. Good God, what has this country become? Does anyone at all care about the Constitution but us and Cruz?
