What he said about Obamcare was in response to Jay who said John Roberts upheld it as law of the land.

Sen Cruz didn’t even nod at that. he said Obamacare is not working.

SO your comment is strange.

Which has about zero effect on the average viewer, at least as presented by Sen. Cruz. Most average voters know many laws don't work very well, and (apparently) are ok with that, or apathetic. They need to be made NOT ok with that. Yes, Sen. Cruz did also mention job losses and such, but it wasn't tied together very well (partially because Leno kept interrupting). Nowhere was any argument really made or question asked by TC about what to do if a bad law has been put into place. Nor was a past example (such as Prohibition) cited.

Our (conservative) leaders simply MUST make more effective arguments. Not to you or me. To average voters. Not to appease them. It is to get them to understand & hopefully move to a more conservative position.

Coming across as "not the devil" (or, not arrogant), and avoiding gaffes is great. But, it is not by itself sufficient. Again, I think that with experience, Sen. Cruz will get better at this.

SO your comment is strange.

If my comments are strange to you, so be it.
