Cruz speaks. We’re going to need people who are good at what dems are good at- communicating their points. Dems communicate emotional reactionism (their points).

GPOe s can’t communicate their points because their points are shallow, not in keeping with the Constitution, power hungry, wimpy, defensive and self- loathing, and a lot of ulterior motives (the dems do that but they’re good at it because they have no shame).

Cruz keeps it simple. He has one task - communicate the point - forget about any other goal or motive, and it has to do with defending the constitution - his main task as senator (like all elected officials and military mimbers).

From Wikip. on Cruz:

While at Princeton, he competed for the American Whig-Cliosophic Society’s Debate Panel as one of North America’s top-ranked parliamentary debaters, winning the top speaker award at both the 1992 U.S. National Debating Championship and the 1992 North American Debating Championship.[13] In 1992, he was named Speaker of the Year and Team of the Year (with his debate partner, David Panton) by the American Parliamentary Debate Association.[13] In 1991 he and his partner came in second to Austan Goolsbee and partner David Gray. Cruz was also a semi-finalist at the 1995 World Universities Debating Championship.

I’m impressed.
Looks as if the GOP does have a “bench” after all...

“Cruz speaks. We’re going to need people who are good at what dems are good at- communicating their points.”

My most vivid memory of last year’s RBC in Tampa was Ted Cruz’s speech. He did it without notes and without a podium or teleprompter.

I remember thinking “My God, this guy is destined for bigger and better things”.
