When Cruz refused to answer the question on why he thought Trump didn’t have the temperament to be president, Cruz lost the debate. He wimped out.
he talked a pretty good game beforehand with his “trumper-tantrum” bit, but actually being in the room with Donald must have spooked him. Happens a lot.
Cruz answered that question the only way that made sense. It really doesn't matter what Cruz thinks of his temperament. The voters will eventually decide whether he has the temperament.
As far as his temperament from this voter's prospective, his response regarding eminent domain and his cheap shot at the very end simply reinforces my opinion that the does not currently have the temperament. Can he develop the needed temperament? I doubt it.
Add to that his obvious lack of understanding of Conservatism, Trump is definitely not my first choice, but against any democrat/socialist, I'd hold my nose, vote for the Donald, and pray for the best.
