What do you think about this interview?

I like that Leno can debate civilly and thoughtfully with Cruz. He asked good questions and Cruz gave thoughtful answers. Thanks for posting the video.

Did you notice the 3 edits where the question was asked, Leno got applause and they edited out Ted's response.

That didn't happen in the current incarnation in the WH.

Are you protesting that?

I expect Ted to be campaigning for President, not only in the 2016 election, but the 2020, 2024, 2028, 2032, 2036, 2040, 2044 and 2048 elections as well.

So if you're sick of seeing his face already........................................... .................................

But they'll pay to hear him say dumb things when his medicine show comes to town.

Better than Leftist Warren and Corrupt Clinton (with not rel record to boot)

What makes the Dem's in General have concern of their plight is the 6 Years of Obama.

Ted has as good a chance of being President in this country as Putin!

But this man will not give up, ever! He'll run and run, again and again!

Really makes me wonder if his wife is instrumental in pushing him!

At least Rick Perry was honest: My wife forced me to run!

May want to return the crystal ball. It is defective.
Cannot wait for the debates to start.

Why would Ted be helping Rand debate???? That is odd, or is there a game plan?

Also that is forgetting that corporate interests from lobbyists don't play a role in creating the yes men...

I think there are some issues where a compromise is not possible. I don't agree that a "real" democracy demands total compromise, which is really capitulation. I believe there are some issues that can't be compromised, and I am glad there are people who refuse to do it.

That is happening with activist judges overriding the ballot box. That surely is not democracy.
