Yes. Except for Cruz's delivery/style on occasion and his religiosity he is pretty good. On other matters of substance and the Constitution he is not bad at all. He is a debate champ, but does he do it with a hammer? Sometimes I think it is more effective to be smooth and let your opponent step in it, a'la Trey Gowdy. Unfortunately politics has largely devolved into a popularity contest. Do adversarial attacks yield a large enough constituency, or do they alienate too many? I wonder... One thing for sure, this election cycle is anything but boring.
