The questions are LOADED which is a good reason for anyone to run away as the "journalist" is asking for impossible answers.

LOADED QUESTION

A loaded question is a form of complex question that contains a controversial assumption (e.g., a presumption of guilt).[1]

Such questions may be used as a rhetorical tool: the question attempts to limit direct replies to be those that serve the questioner's agenda.[2] The traditional example is the question "Have you stopped beating your wife?" Whether the respondent answers yes or no, they will admit to having a wife and having beaten her at some time in the past. Thus, these facts are presupposed by the question, and in this case an entrapment, because it narrows the respondent to a single answer, and the fallacy of many questions has been committed.

Fuck you dishonest media!

It's very easy to deal with loaded questions.

Ted just lost his head.

Always go into an interview prepared to correct the person asking questions. In fact that's all you should do an interview is correct stupid loaded questions. You should never really give answers. Just correct loaded questions and that will do it.

Cruz did better than Walker at least

Walker said, "What I like to do is see it and everything and stuff."

I'm getting a little worried about that Senate seat. That might not be the one the GOP flips ------

All federal gun laws are illegal and unconstitutional.

Beto is just a puke ass fool.

It's clear that there is a cultural and social decline in the West. I am not in support of "arm yourself with whatever you can", but, the gun is simply the means, not the villain.

Society has been in steep decline, and it's becoming more and more difficult to distinguish between the good and the bad.

You really think you can do that for many years wouldn't get tired of the journalists incompetence and stupidity?

Have you watched Bobby Knight having to answer the same dumbshit questions for 25 years where his answers got snottier and sometime sneering replies back in the faces of stupid "journalists" who display their incompetence so vividly?

Beautiful Ted as he was nicknamed by a prominent politician is easily flustered and slow, on response if somebody confronts or questions him in public. He's not exactly known for being particularly fast on his feet, except for storming off to think up a response for later.

Stop touching people, you creep! (to Cancun Cruz)

Don't forget all the many school shootings in Pakistan. Mostly private schools for officers' children, they just massacre them by the dozens.

We do have more guns massacres than any other countries. Americans are too selfish and stupid to stop illegals or mass shootings or have universal healthcare. You clots are still bleating about your gun rights.

 

[surada]

Cruz is absolutely a coward. He couldn't even defend his own wife. So much for Texas men.

Remember, Surada, you HAVE to take population into account. Pakistan is an incredibly violent place, but they don't have the numbers we do, maybe half, if that. Saying America is the most violent country when we are the biggest country is just sophistry.

No he was cornered for the singular purpose to attack him with phony questions then pushed the agenda right into his face.

From the link you didn't read my reply in RED,

"British journalist Mark Stone cornered Cruz (Ambush interview) at the vigil and asked him whether it was time for gun reform laws in America. (already have thousands of gun "reform" laws) When asked why American exceptionalism is 'so awful', Cruz said: 'You know, I'm sorry you think American exceptionalism is awful. You've got your political agenda. God love you.'

After repeatedly being told 'You can't answer that' by Stone, (badgering) Cruz turned and said: 'Why is it that people come from all over the world to America? Because it's the freest, most prosperous, safest country on Earth. Stop being a propagandist.'

'You know, it's easy to go to politics,' Cruz told Sky News. 'Inevitably, when some violent psychopath murders people, if you want to stop violent crime, the proposals the Democrats have — none of them would have stopped this.'
( Correct since the killer passed the background check law when he bought firearms)
He added: 'There are 19 sets of parents who are never going to get to kiss their child tonight.'

The Texas senator then stormed out of the interview at the vigil being held by relatives and friends of those killed in the massacre on Tuesday."

===

The interviewed had clear goal of badgering Cruz for answers he can abuse for political propaganda he insinuates there have been no "reform" gun laws attacks America as a place to live (agenda).

This IS a loaded question:

"asked him whether it was time for gun reform laws in America."

The reality is that the so called journalist must have known America had already passed many gun control laws over the decades but wants readers to get the impression that people like Cruz has never been involved with gun control legislation.

You can't be that dumb?

Pakistan is incredibly poor. You're saying we're better than Pakistan is as stupid as you can get. Afghanistan and Yemen have lots of guns but not as many as the US.. welcome to third world aspirations. Texas has a pathetic maternal mortality rate. Got any more excuses?

No, I get it.

But, Ted should be pissing them off. Not the other way around.
