He didn't forget to answer the question. He set the Moderators straight and they were so mad, they didn't give him time to answer. They got back to the answer later in the debate and he did very well. He always does very well when given the chance to speak.

He is the only principled candidate on the stage who keeps his promises even if he has to stand alone. That is what honesty looks like.

Normally I don't listen to Limbaugh, but during presidential cycles I listen more and more as we get closer to the election. Listened to him twice this week, think it was Wednesday and Thursday and he about fell out of his chair with excitement while talking Cruz up to his audience. He says he doesn't endorse candidates during primaries but I've heard him put some down over the years like Huckabee and Duncan Hunter in 2008, but this time he seems to be all squishy inside for Raphael "Ted" Cruz.

I do like the fact Cruz hasn't been afraid to go against the grain and be a bit of a maverick as a Senator. Was also impressed during his filibuster that he seemed to get stronger as the hours went by. He definitely has stamina and being tired doesn't seem to affect his ability to be sharp minded. Just needs to work on his positions on issues.

Interesting to note that candidates so far haven't wanted to post their stances on issues on their websites. You learn very little visiting them.
I believe it's an erroneous argument to say that Obama wasn't prepared to be in the position to serve as President.

Everything he said he was going to do to transform America, he has done. Whether he is a puppet president or not, he steam rolled the Republicans.

Ted Cruz is the most intelligent and principled candidate on the stage. He has a very long history of conservatism. He is the only candidate on stage that has "memorized" the Constitution.

I saw a clip of the Kelly File, the day after this last debate, where she had her panel stacked with Moderates. They are still crying that we have to have a candidate who appeals to the Moderates. We have done that and continue to lose elections.

We need someone who tells the truth and does what he says he is going to do whether that makes the GOPe angry or not. Ted Cruz is that man and this type of candidate comes once in a generation.

If he doesn't win, he will return to be the most powerful and principled Senator in Congress.

No, that is not true. He actually used up all his time whining.

No, don't make us laugh. He is not the "only principled candidate on the stage who keeps his promises."

But he is the senator who wasted thousands of taxpayer funds and people's time, reading Dr. Seuss out loud to the congress and the nation. He is the senator who protested in front of the WH with a bunch of card carrying crazies. Not only that, but he was protesting the very situation he caused.

He most likely cannot get elected dog catcher outside of TX. He is not 'honest' - he is a stuntman.

Yes, he did answer the question. The Moderator comes back at the 38:00 marker and gives him the opportunity to respond. It was after Ted Cruz offered to give him some Colorado brownies. LOL!

Anyway, you are as bad as the Moderators, in that, you are not going to vote in the Republican Primary and are biased, AND you didn't check your facts before your wrong accusation.

Here is he debate clip. You can queue it up to the 38:00 mark.

You know all of those moderators have worked a long time for the Wall Street Journal, a Rupert Murdoch production. Maybe they aren't all that liberal?

I love Cruz, he has the balls to step up and call out anyone not upholding the constitution or those doing things for their own interests, even members of his own party. He is not a politician, he is a true statesman, one of the last of a dying breed. Not to mention he is very intelligent. Watch him in any debate or interview. Ive never seen him flustered, caught off guard or stammering for an answer.

He, like Barnie Sanders on the other side, is simply unelectable in the general election.

Exactly! I wasn't able to rep you, but I'll give you two thumbs up!

Tom Tancredo left the GOP over this last budget deal debacle. He is going to start campaigning for Ted Cruz, among the Independents, in Colorado.
