    Default This ought to make most of us like Ted Cruz at least a little bit...

    http://www.ijreview.com/2015/04/2974...paign=Politics
    At a recent event, GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz was asked the following question:

    “In the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting, a statistic surfaced putting support for background checks at 90%. Did you go against the want of the nation with your vote against Manchin-Toomey (a bill that would have required background checks on all commercial sales of guns)?”

    The question is obviously trying to back him into a corner and his response in the video is just perfect.

    Video here:

    Not only does he have the perfect answers, but it sure is refreshing to listen to a leader who is able to articulate points without the aid of a teleprompter.
    Cruz had my vote before he even decided to run.

    Wow! I'm going to have to look up more videos of his responses. Not only can eh think on his feet, but he took a question framed to make him be the bad guy, and he responded with a mild, conversational tone and spoke about the people. I'd almost forgotten what a response could sound like without the focus being on "I" and "MEMEMEMEMEEEEEEE." Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could have a President that wasn't all hot air and ego?

    Ted's my guy. Pretty darn articulate and understands the constitutional underpinnings of our laws.

    Two Presidential (R) Candidates within a week that were given booby trap questions and nailed it?

    Is it possible the GOP finally got some advisers that know WTH they're doing?

    No clue where you would have stumbled across that garbage, but I'd hardly call that mainstream, which is all I would take into consideration when referring to media.
