I thought Ted Cruz was the smartest lawyer in the world.

The cardinal rule is you never to ask a question to a witness where you don't know the answer or you know the answer and you won't like it.

Sally Yates handed him his ass.

1. You misunderstood.

He's the lowest smartass in the world.

[dem4decades]

2. It was quite entertaining. It's always good to have the truth on your side.

[Doreen]

3. Cruz is a slug.

After being called names during the run for the presidency by trump he slithers on his belly to kiss trumps ass.

4. He's a very impressive college debater.

He's best advised to stay away from professionals - as Sally Yates just taught him.

[Gothmog]

9. Not really-Carnival Cruz was not a Cross Ex.debater but did parliamentary debate

That is a form of debate that did not exist back when I was debating on the college circuit. We just had CX debate and Lincoln Douglas was coming into use when I was judging debate in law school.

5. Cruz is just a typical repub.

His only difference is he is in the Senate and gets face time.

6. Not Today....

7. Trying to sell it was

all partisan.

[Lotusflower70]

8. Uh no

He thought he was the smartest lawyer in the world but he isn't even close. He is a shady POS.

[Gothmog]

10. Carnival Cruz is not a strong lawyer

[femmocrat]

11. Wasn't he mentioned as a potential nominee to the USSC?
