If you call spewing out a list of unsubstantiated charges that, because of time and format constraints of the ‘debate’, were impossible to answer ‘eating Cruz alive’ then your standards for honest debate are different from most reasonable people.

“If you call spewing out a list of unsubstantiated charges that’ because of time and format constraints of the ‘debate’, were impossible to answer ‘eating Cruz alive’ then your standards for honest debate are different from most reasonable people.”

You remind me of the football coach making excuses for his team losing, “It was raining”, as if it only rained on his team. Rubio and Cruz basically had the same time constraints. That is the name of the game in debates, if you are falsely gigged in a debate (although Cruz was not falsely gigged) and you can’t overcome it, you lose, which makes it ridiculous to choose a candidate based on debating skills alone. I use to watch William F. Buckley debate, and after him, no one can really debate. He broke the mold.
