Once again, what insults? He disagrees with Trump and doesn't think Donald would make a good president, but where's the "insult after insult"?

Well, you apparently can’t read or comprehend.

Is anything Cruz said as bad as what you said? As long as we're making judgements on people, it really looks like you're having trouble laying out your argument. You make claims and then don't back them up, falling back on insults rather than explaining your views.

Sort of like Cruz not realizing who he was talking to and adjusting himself accordingly.

Certainly, he should have realized the guy was a jerk and there wasn't any point engaging with him. Politicians, like everybody else, function well in defined and familiar situations. It's a mistake to go off script with people you don't know or people who don't like you or to plunge into unfamiliar circumstances.

But it really sounds like you're taking some of Ted's positive qualities and treating them like negatives. Being too earnest and sticking to one's guns and not sinking to somebody else's rude and boorish level wasn't always perceived as a negative in political life or if it was, at least we didn't revile earnestness or persistence or a preference for rational argument above insults and one-liners as human qualities.

But here I'll take my own advice, ma'am, and realize that there's no point in continuing a discussion with you and sign off.
