While Donald Trump has been the main focus of attention after the big TV debates so far during this campaign for the Republican Presidential nomination, it was Ted Cruz who made headlines with his response to a question during CNBC's GOP debate on Wednesday night. 

The Texas Senator decided to use his platform to return fire on the "liberal" media and their coverage of all the Republican candidates on the stage, from Trump to Carson, stating that the questions were not about the substantive issues that would determine the race to the White House. 

He rallied against what he viewed as a sensational line of questioning which asked "Donald Trump, are you a comic book villain? Ben Carson, can you do math? John Kasich, will you insult two people over here? Marco Rubio, why don't you resign? Jeb Bush, why have your numbers fallen?", which drew huge cheers from the crowd.

Of course, the question was about whether or not he had any sort of plan about how to deal with the debt ceiling being raised, which he skirted around by giving an unrelated answer about the media and making a joke about the Bolsheviks.

As Vox point out, last night's debate also did have specific questions on some of the most important issues, from tax to debt, and "the problem for Republicans is that substantive questions about their policy proposals end up sounding like hostile attacks — but that's because the policy proposals are ridiculous, not because the questions are actually unfair".

The questions quoted by Cruz were also more specific than he reduced them down to. For Example, Trump was asked if his campaign was "the comic book version" of a presidential campaign and highlighted the fantastical nature of his proposal to build a wall around Mexico and how his tax plan would manage to cut $10 trillion and manage to balance the books.

Either way, Trump still reckons he won the debate.
