If Ted Cruz continues to use that audiographic memory of his and frankly loosens up he will clean house in every single debate. (FYI he was a champion debater in college) Cruz stands strong on the Constitution, fiscal responsibility and for small government. These traits and few others are things the GOP establishment and dems want nothing to do with. He is a true threat to status quo, the destruction of the political class and the radical agenda to fundamentally transform the USA.
The CNBC debate was just a hint of the hate progressives have for conservatives. But Cruz showed true conservatives are not going to play the game.
