question:
Fellinger pointed us to video posts of the CVA events showing that Cruz each time took questions via a moderator , who recognized a few individuals to speak directly to Cruz . 
But could it be that U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz does n't get personally grilled by constituents very often ? 
Cruz , poised to seek re-election as Texas ' junior Republican senator in 2018 , hardly has a reputation for avoiding attention . 
A Concerned Veterans for America spokesman , Jim Fellinger , told us each CVA event with Cruz was open to the public by registration , without the group screening out anybody who registered . 
Regardless , the Houston lawyer was told during the 2017 Texas Tribune Festival about a Democratic challenger 's suggestion that Cruz had n't visited small Texas towns during the term he won in 2012 . 
"Do you do enough interaction with your constituents , Sen. Cruz ?" 
Cruz , asked if he interacts enough with constituents , said : "In 2017 , I 've done 17 town halls" in Texas . 
Cruz replied : "That is a huge part of the job . 
The events Cruz attended from April through August demonstrate that the term "town hall" can be stretched every which way , even to events not open to the public . 
All told , it looks to us as if Cruz took questions at gatherings of selected constituents , mostly business employees , with the three veterans events open to members of the public who registered . 
We wondered about that , finding that Cruz 's count largely turned on one 's definition of "town hall ." 
Next , we spoke with several experts about whether Cruz 's events should be considered town halls . 
A town hall , Cruz spokesman Phil Novack told us , is defined by Merriam-Webster as "an event at which a public official or political candidate addresses an audience by answering questions posed by individual members ." 
We also asked Novack to share a list of Cruz 's 2017 events in Texas that were open to the public without registration -- where anyone could ask a question on any topic . 
Ted Cruz Statement : "In 2017 , I 've done 17 town halls ." 
It seems these town halls are open only to the people from the sections of ` town ' that support Ted Cruz . 
Novack told us Cruz had held 19 town halls with Texas constituents in 2017 , all "organized by third parties who determined attendees , where" the senator "has taken unvetted questions from anyone in the crowd -- at businesses , factories , chambers of commerce , and in public venues ."
answer:
Ted Cruz


question:
Northwestern athletics dodged a bullet on Bryant McIntoshâs knee injury. But not Clayton Thorsonâs.
 Thorson  got carted off Friday in the Music City Bowl after making a 24-yard catch on a trick play.  He  immediately grabbed  his  right knee as Nissan Stadium hushed and teammates approached to offer encouragement.
After the game NU coach Pat Fitzgerald said that a preliminary exam revealed ânothing overly alarming â¦ I think  he  hyperextended it  from my vantage point.â
But subsequent tests revealed a tear and there is no timetable for  his  return. Surgery is expected in a few weeks. Torn ACLs typically have a 9- to 12-month recovery period.
 Thorson  announced Dec. 19 that  he  would return to Evanston for  his  fifth season and fourth as a starter. Had  he  been healthy and entered the NFL draft   he  figured to be a late-round pick.
If  Thorson  isnât ready for NUâs Aug. 30 (Thursday night) season-opener at Purdue  Northwestern likely will turn to either TJ Green or Andrew Marty.
 Thorson âs 27 victories as the starting quarterback are the most in NU history. The 6-foot-4  220-pound Wheaton North alumnus ranks second in program history in passing yards (7 513) and completions (688). Heâs a career 57.4 percent passer and made third-team all-Big Ten in 2017.
 Clayton Thorson 's return gives NU a fourth-year starter at QB Â»
answer:
Clayton Thorson
