Quote:First of all, thank you for the compliment.

 

Though Ted Cruz isn't my first choice, I went through the footage of the debate, and got the time marks regarding each question and answer given by Cruz.  I chose him for this post because he has gotten the "biggest surge" in recent polls, and some on here seem to think that he is an "establishment" candidate and/or he was given "softball questions" during the debate.

 

The full footage of the debate can be viewed here, and the full transcript can be reviewed here.  Video footage and time marks are from the video provided by FOX News and the transcripts are provided by CBS News.

 

12:45 - This is the first question asked to all candidates individually regarding their "elect ability", and specifically points to what would be deemed a "flaw".

 

31:16 - This question has to do with immigration reform.

 

36:41 - This question has to do with ISIS, specifically within the U.S.

 

There is some time difference at this point, and it's possible that I might have missed a question.  You did mention that there was an extended period of time that he wasn't asked a question.

 

1:25:47 - This is a question regarding national security and specifically cyber war.

 

1:34:47 - This is regarding religion and was asked to all of the candidates.

 

1:44:22 - These were his final remarks.

 

  My pleasure.

 

 Thanks for all of the time and effort provided in the research that you did in this thread.

 

 I believe that you documented all of Ted Cruz'  opportunities to speak in the debate.  

 

 As a Ted Cruz supporter,  I felt frustrated when Cruz was being overlooked by the moderators for what felt like 40 minutes.   It actually appears to be even longer than what I previously thought.     The fact that Cruz moved up substantially in at least one of the polls despite his lack of air time in the debate relatively speaking,   bodes well for Cruz's potential moving forward.    It's still an uphill battle for Cruz for multiple reasons,  including the establishment in and out of the Republican Party being against him and the presence of Donald Trump in the race.   But at the very least,   Cruz is making a major impact in the race.   That by itself is very important.
