Cruz obliterated Allred.

Are there actually people that get persuaded one way or the other during political debates?

It's all about who screws up or who gets the most zingers in. Really a waste of time & resources imo.

I wish the format were more like the following:
1) question about singular issue (shuts up)
2) each candidate has an equal time to provide their policy or action with no interaction with moderator or other candidates.
3) each candidate then gets a shorter yet equal time to either add to their statement or dissect opponents statement
4) move on to another issue

Rinse & repeat for slotted time.

I would also like to see each candidate select their own moderator. Talk about fireworks and entertainment. That would make it way more interesting to watch.

cruz is the smartest guy in EVERY room he walks into. for whatever reason, he lacks that like-ability. but that doesn't mean he isn't the best dude for the job.

That's because he looks and talks like a rich Ivy league know it all grease ball, and that's only because he IS a rich Ivy league know it all grease ball.
The important part is that what he says is usually always correct & truthful. He still has my vote.

Anybody thinking that because they played college or professional sports makes them smarter than the regular folk is equivalent to to bestowing intelligence upon tv celebrities just because they are on tv or are good singers. Collin Allred is a mental midget

Cruz argued cases many cases before the US Supreme Court. That is a very small world reserved for the best of the best. He's got superior debating chops. It's nice to see guys like him and JD Vance on the debate stage - complete command of the facts and the ability to stay on point.

Vance vs Cruz debating something would be outstanding

Democrats and Allred need to cease the Cruz Cancun trip story. But, they won't.
If I have my story straight (you Houstonians verify it) to make his daughters happy, the family arranged a trip to Cancun when the ice storm was about to begin. Cruz flew w the family, but on the way, he decided it was best to come back to help Texas, so he caught the next flight back. Didn't vacation. His wife and daughters stayed.
I think he did double the right thing....escorted family to Cancun and then honored his duty to Texas.
But...ya know those sleazy democrats.....

Vote Cruz!

Allred was shaking his head 'no' as if the facts are not facts. Did not see the debate - how did he reply to facts?

That would be interesting. Lincoln - Douglas ish.

Yes I recall this was what happened but unfortunately he was already castigated to the dungeons before he could make it back. When he got back his house was pummeled with media and protesters.
