How Cruz Changed His Debate Strategy

Sen. Ted Cruz described to Politico how he “overhauled his debate strategy after the early faceoffs to insert himself far more aggressively and strategically in the most recent Republican debates.”

Said Cruz: “We made a conscious decision to assert myself more aggressively into the conversation, because if every question was going to begin with Candidate A will you please insult Candidate B, I didn’t want to be involved in that. But I also didn’t want to stand there silently for two hours, while others were throwing rocks at each other.”
