Chuck Todd gave Ted Cruz more than he expected as he did not get the normal treatment he was used to on Meet The Press. He kept Cruz off balance for the entire interview. At the interview's closing, Cruz did not even respond to Todd thanking him for the interview. Here are some examples of Chuck Todd's challenging Ted Cruz at every turn.

(14,173 posts)If they can't win an argument, and they see they can't, they always fall back to interruption, talking over, blah blah blah.
I really wish hosts on these shows had a silencing button. Like a liberal radio talk show hose I used to listen to did; Ray Taliaferro from KGO San Francisco. He could just turn them down after 2 or 3 warnings that if they didn't stop their non stop one way verbiage, he was going to turn them down. Then he would proceed to counter their argument in silence, then he'd tell them he'll turn them up again, to give them a chance to respond. Many times as he turned them up, they'd still be in some mid sentence RW rant.
But at least you'd get a clear response to the nonsense.
