I don’t know. I’m not all that impressed with Cruz as “Mr. Debater”. When I think of Gingrich in 2012, he seemed to speak genuinely from his heart and his insights and comments were surgically precise in hitting the mark. Gingrich was one of the best debaters I’ve seen come down the pike.
Cruz seems too polished and rehearsed to me. I really think people are looking for unpolished genuineness like what you get from Trump.
Also, I’m intrigued that in his response to Rubio’s fast litany of charges against Cruz’s Senate record, Cruz said “half” of what Rubio said was false. Which half and what about the other half? I’ve begun to wonder how genuine Cruz actually is - guess I’ll have to do some digging about Cruz’s actual voting record.
Yes, for me Newt was the best, because he could always draw from his command of our history. You’re right.
Which just goes to show, that it’s a fallacy that the best debater makes the best president.
Reagan was mediocre as a debater, but was good for a couple lasting comments.
“Well, there he goes, again.”
