Both Trump's supporters and his enemies recognize what a beast he is on the stage. The man crushed 17 other Republicans with ease, including a Bush and a literal debate champion.
Joe Biden would struggle to debate a 14 year old high school girl. He's got no fucking chance.
Cruz overplayed his hand and thought he could bluff Trump because he DID have superior debating skills. But thats the thing, superior debaters don't need to bluff. They let the facts speak for themselves and the debater just lines the up for subsequent punches.
Once Trump called his bluff, he could discredit everything else Cruz said. Especially as Cruz got even more frustrated and threw out even weaker arguments.
