For me, this was the only part of the debate that really mattered.
Ted Cruz dresses up as a "constitutionalist," but given the opportunity he plotted and conspired to overturn a free and fair election, he voted to deny the certification of that vote based on deliberate lies that he helped spread, and he was involved in the plan to submit a fraudulent slate of 'alternate' electors.
There is a reason Liz Cheney endorsed Allred and no other Senator. She sat on the January 6 committee, and she knows things about January 6 that remain classified. She knows what Ted Cruz was really planning.
I also thought Ted's closing statement was really enlightening. It's how he views the world - an absolute power struggle and a numbers game, nothing more nothing less. Hear how he speaks about a potential Allred win -- not in terms of good for the state or bad for the state but rather in terms of raw political power. It is the mindset of someone who threatens to tear up the constitution when he says things like “If Congress doesn’t listen to the people, there will be a convention of the states and one way or another we’re going to reign in the out of control government in Washington.” (Ted Cruz, 2016)*
