Trump: Cruz ‘never faced a debater like me’
The Hill ^ | April 23, 2016 | Jessie Hellmann

Posted on 04/24/2016 5:56:56 PM PDT by kinsman redeemer

"I beat him in every single debate. Every single debate, I beat Ted Cruz. He was supposed to be a good debater," Trump said at a rally in Bridgeport, Conn.

"He never had a debater like me where I interrupt him every four minutes. … I don't think he actually is a good debater."

They will dump Cruz out on the roadside before it comes to that. Besides, even if he survives that, the Dems will have no problem finding a judge disqualifying Cruz for not being a natural born citizen. Don’t be a fool.

Those were not debates, they were clown shows”

That is the absolute truth. I kept watching thinking some substance would come...but for the most part never did.

I will be really interested to see how Trump handles Hillary. I’ll be surprised if he comes at her with both barrels blazing. People say he already is going after her and she is going after him. I don’t see the level of vitriol displayed in the primary. And if Trump does go after Hill in that manner she’ll tear up and act pitiful. Then Trump will be the “Big Mean Man”.

Political debates are about ideas, positions and policy, not life experiences...

You know, to flesh out if if your ideas have merit and are thought out, positions that are acceptable, policies that work....

Cruz has that down pat, maybe even too nicely packaged...

Trump doesn’t even know how to articulate his own positions or policies...

I am not knocking him for it, that’s simply not Trump strong point or style...

Good debaters speak complete sentences, with a subject and a verb in order to be completely clear. In addition, they generally use proper English: "Trump: Cruz ‘never faced a debater like me I [am].’

HOW CORRECT YOU ARE...

Just watched ‘some’ of Fox's so called Americas Town Hall...nothing but spin zone for Kasich and Cruz...both boring so turned them off...waited 1/2 hr. and turned TV back on...still the same old bull..

Cruz is nothing but ‘bull shit and lies’ like obama is..He is a typical Professional Politician,with 25 years of 'smooth' lawyer talking experience, nothing more...He does nothing but bash/trash Trump and then he says he is a nice guy and just talks topics that he will accomplish...wheee..disgusting and the audience was showing their disgust as the cameras spanned them..seemed to me a lot of Trump supporter were present there...

when one Trump supporter, a man of color, asked a question of Cruz..Cruz seemed to try to give a quick answer, then went into trashing Trump...to a Trump supporter non the less, how freaking insulting can a candidate get...Real cheap shot Ted...really...

well to make a long story short...I found this program a total waste and they pushed it all week, I was sorta looking forward to it......even the cheap panel they had was crummy...and I use to really like Steve.. I think Tucker is a Trump supporter...the girl was a Cruzzer. what a waste of two hours...Fox is really falling off the cliff..

OK..enough from ME...on Tues. here in SW Pennsylvania, hubby and I will proudly vote DONALD J. TRUMP AND WEAR OUR TRUMP HATS..I researched our three delegates to vote for..and shared with all the local family, that I know are also voting Trump...He will win our County for sure...

Pray daily Trump has 1237 by June...and then LET'S ROLL WITH THE TRUMP VS. HILLARY CAMPAIGN..

You are correct. I do not. Nor do I watch Cruz or Kasich rallies.

As they say, intelligent people don’t need to hear the whole sentence, they just know the ending. Cruzers are at a deficient in that department.

"intelligent people don’t need to hear the whole sentence, they just know the ending'"

It's not 'what you know' that hurts you, It's 'what you know that just isn't so'. There's an awful lot of that going on.

Very good remarks..my thoughts also..

Ted can not complete two sentences with out a pause, head nod, and snarky grin, then trash Trump...

He is Obama,Jr..hear he has his and his mothers records locked up, just like Hussein..he must have learned how to do that with the few visits he makes to the Senate, where he collects a pay check but doesn't report to work..

again..good post

>One that ignores the issues and just makes things up as he goes along? Yeah, that’s not debate.

What issues? By the last debate they just agreed with Trump on every issue. It was the most boring thing ever.

Cruz challenged Trump to a one on one debate. Trump declined to debate him.

Nope. It’s about emotional persuasion.

Check out this clip of Reagan, which is probably his most remembered moment of his debates:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoPu1UIBkBc

See anything about ideas, positions, or policy there? It was all about insulting Mondale in a funny and backhanded way. It’s all emotion.

RNC rules say no outside debates.

Depends on your target audience. Talk on a 4th grade level and you will pick up for more voters if you talk at a college level.

Ultra liberal Trump never ‘won’ any debate on substance.

It would be nice to have a debate now to force Trump to explain his support for yet another aspect of cultural destruction - men being able to enter women’s restrooms and vice versa. Of course his supporters here either now support yet another extreme liberal position he has taken, or dismiss it as unimportant. He’s going to build “a wall”, after all - irrelevant to whether or not there everything within the wall is destroyed from within.
