Democrats underestimate Ted Cruz at their own peril

Andrew Romano:
Democrats want Ted Cruz to be the GOP’s nominee. They should be careful what they wish for.
I suspect that a Ted Cruz Hillary Clinton debate would be something Democrats would not enjoy.  They would quickly find that their insults are not argument.
...
The first thing to note about Cruz is that there is a reason why he was once the top-ranked collegiate debater in the nation, and why he went on to become the best appellate litigator in Texas. He is exceedingly rational. He is always aware of his audience, his objectives and whatever counterarguments his opponents might make, and he always shapes his strategy accordingly.
...
He has the ability to remember exactly what was said and repeat it precisely in a debate as he did in attacking the CNBC questions in that debate.  Certainly Hillary Clinton has not had much of a warm up in the Democrat debate so far.
