Quote: After reading your reply,  I found an article that lists the amount of airtime each candidate received during the debate.   As it turned out,  you are correct and I wasn't regarding Ted Cruz's airtime % relative to the other candidates.   Because Cruz didn't get a question for such a long period of time during the debate as you illustrated yesterday,   that's the reason why it felt like Cruz didn't get enough airtime.   I'm surprised that Rand Paul got the least amount of airtime,  as it felt like he was talking longer than the data indicates:

  Like I mentioned yesterday,  while I agree with Ted Cruz the vast majority of the time,  like with everyone I don't agree 100 % of the time.   There's one thing Ted Cruz mentioned in the debate that I wish he didn't say it.   That's the 2nd paragraph which appears on the transcript site you provided in this thread yesterday.   I'll highlight it:

 

 

CRUZ: Yes, it is ideological, and let me contrast President Obama, who at the prayer breakfast, essentially acted as an apologist. He said, "Well, gosh, the crusades, the inquisitions--"

 

 

We need a president that shows the courage that Egypt's President al-Sisi, a Muslim, when he called out the radical Islamic terrorists who are threatening the world.

 

Based on at least one contradictory statements that al-Sisi has made that Dr. Andrew Bostom caught a while back,  I would be very cautious to praise al-Sisi.   The specific illustration  probably violates the COC but intentional deception on the Egyptian President's part very realistically might have occurred.  

 

Thanks for the link.  I was judging based on my own research.  I went back through and got time stamps for Marco Rubio and I noticed that each candidate was asked the same amount of questions.  Clearly FOX News handled the debate in a fair and balanced way (gee something about that sounds familiar).  I don't believe that they were "harder" or threw "softball questions" at any of the candidates.

 

I'm still interested to hear other opinions regarding Ted Cruz's question/answers.
