The Beltway crowd and the MSM have a problem where Ted Cruz is concerned. The cartoon character they have created and named Ted Cruz - a wild-eyed, extreme wacko bird - can only exist in people's minds until they actually interview him and people see the real Ted Cruz.
He calmly explains the problems House Republicans seek to solve. He methodically points out all the ways House Republicans have tried to facilitate compromise. He refuses to accept the false premises behind Crowley's questions.
The Ruling Party Statists (the Reids, McClowns, Zerobamas, Schumers et. al.) absolutely hate Cruz and will go after him with all they've got. So far he's shown that he's well spoken, extremely intelligent, not fat or bald, and (most importantly) he doesn't have a squeaky voice that can be ridiculed.
In other words - The Left and The Statists have their work cut out for them. But try they will - and they're not used to failure.
Those of us who wholeheartedly believe in prayer - pray for this man. Pray that no harm comes to him.
Seriously.
You're a brave man. Go and break through the lines. And remember, while you're out there risking your life and limb through shot and shell, we'll be in be in here thinking what a sucker you are. ~Rufus T. Firefly
The bureaucracy: the new fourth branch of government. The bureaucracy is permanent, unaccountable, unelected and choking us like a weed. The bureaucrat exists, generating nothing of value, using perceived problems to justify his existence.

The Left has for years created caricatures of those on the Right and then proceeds to shake them silly and guffaw together at them.
How many times have we heard the Tea Party label being used by one of those partisan reporters? The label 'Tea Party' resonates with liberals as a caricature of a violent and brainless idiot. So the media keeps on using that term in a slanderous manner every chance they get.
Here Crowley was able to get a whole lot of snark on air against Cruz by using the excuse of a break and the upcoming question she would ask, and then get off the air to the commercial before Cruz could respond. Pretty low level manipulation of the interview. Cruz did well against her but she is a real ugly partisan hacker.

The Left and the establishment GOP played the same games with another guy years ago, treating like a rube and angry nutjob. Reagan kicked all their asses. Cruz is doing the same thing now.
