No, I don't think so, because a baby wouldn't be much of a shield against a bullet. However, Cruz could hurl the baby at the gunman, allowing him time to duck behind something more substantial. The screaming infant, cartwheeling through the air probably would distract the gunman, allowing Ted Cruz a vital moment to seek shelter. Yes, that's how it would go.
