Não quero estragar a alegria de ninguém, mas entre os ricos americanos, eles se preparam pra isso em universidade já, existem "concurso de debate" e afins e Ted Cruz fazia isso.
Um progressista interpelar um riquinho de Yale ou coisa parecida é tipo um astrólogo querer ir debater sobre câncer de estômago com um cirurgião.
Cruz graduated cum laude from Princeton University with a Bachelor of Arts in Public Policy[33] from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs in 1992.[3][34]
While at Princeton, he competed for the American Whig-Cliosophic Society's Debate Panel and won the top speaker award at both the 1992 U.S. National Debating Championship and the 1992 North American Debating Championship.[35]
In 1992, he was named U.S. National Speaker of the Year, and with his debate partner David Panton won Team of the Year.[35] Cruz and Panton would later represent Harvard Law School at the 1995 World Debating Championship, losing in the semi-finals to a team from Australia.[36][37][38]
Princeton's debate team named their annual novice championship after Cruz.[38]
