If your TV blew up, it was because Ted Cruz lit it up with his sheer fiery ways. Cruz was asked first about the economy, then about his bank loan (yes really) then he was asked about the fake birther scandal. It's settled law, people. Settled. Read (Dear David Brooks: Actually, No, Ted Cruz isn't too 'Brutal.' Your'e Just a Wimp...). Well what came next proves that miracles could happen. It was brilliant. Ted Cruz creamed the birther argument. It's dead and buried. OVER. Watch:

BOOM goes the dynamite. My favorite line? "I'm not going to hold your mother's birth place against you."

This is the Ted Cruz we've been waiting to see. We know he's measured, smart and well spoken. Based on some of our previous posts on Cruz, we also know he's not afraid to be confrontational. We've been waiting for the firebrand Cruz to come out swinging. We were not disappointed. Though now my TV is just a pile of ash.

Look, we're getting closer to actual votes being cast. Now is the perfect time for Ted Cruz to make his move against the other candidates. And he did. There was no playing nice. There was not wishy washy, mealy mouthed rhetoric. Ted Cruz came out to play. He walked into the sandbox, he looked down at all the other kids toys, and pulled out a bazooka.

Here's hoping we see MUCH MORE of this Ted Cruz the remainder of the campaign.
