Ted Cruz is polling at about 4th nationally, and Mark Levin wants to know why he doesn’t get more time:
Why do debate moderators continue to limit Ted Cruz's speaking time?
— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) September 17, 2015
Many viewers of the debate hosted by Fox News last month had the same complaint.
@marklevinshow @VonBodungen Cruz didn't play into Tapper's strategy of instigating fights.

@marklevinshow because he is so good they don't want the audience to hear him.

4th in polls; 8th on time. What's up with that @jaketapper ?https://t.co/RdRzY3h9Zy

@marklevinshow because he won't engage in rating boosting senseless bickering

That was my biggest complaint. RT @marklevinshow: Why do debate moderators continue to limit Ted Cruz's speaking time?

The format fits a reality show not a serous discussion of the issues https://t.co/y9G8AGpaKn

.@E__Strobel @Ruby_Proudfoot @marklevinshow #TedCruz is the most Conservative & can spin circles around the moderators so they limit him.

@marklevinshow because they're fishing for controversy,sound bites and ratings,Cruz will give them a solid logical answer. He's no nonsense
