Cruz Tears CNBC a New One

RealClearPolitics quotes Ted Cruz teeing off on the moderators on the CNBC-run 3rd GOP debate earlier this evening:

The questions asked in this debate illustrate why the American people don't trust the media. This is not a cage match. And you look at the questions -- Donald Trump, are you a comic book villain? Ben Carson, can you do math? John Kasich, will you insult two people over here? Marco Rubio, why don't you resign? Jeb Bush, why have your numbers fallen? How about talking about the substantive issues.

Let me be clear, the men and women on this stage have more ideas, more experience, more common sense, than every participant in the Democratic debate. That debate reflected a debate between the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks.

Nobody believes that the moderators have any intention of voting in a Republican primary.

The questions being asked shouldn't be trying to get people to tear into each other, it should be what are your substantive solutions to people at home.

The above comments by Ted Cruz triggered the evening's biggest applause.
