The article makes good points. But most folks won’t be paying much attention to those points, simply because Cruz is not all that dynamic as a speaker (compare with Trump). Reagan had the touch, Cruz does not.
Cruz needs to study Trump, and Trump’s campaign, very carefully. And I think Cruz is doing just that.
I disagree. Cruz is a stellar debater and has been since college days. Apparently he wows crowds where he actually has more than 30 seconds to speak. It will be interesting to see where he goes from here.
I can only assume one of two things:
You have never actually listened to Ted Cruz speak, or,
You are so enamored with another candidate that you are willing to make an unfounded remark about Cruz.
See, I don’t think Trump is all that dynamic as a speaker.
I mean, to each his own, and I know, well, not necessarily that I’m in the minority, but I know a lot of people will and do disagree.
I listen or watch some of the beginnings of his speeches/YouTube videos (admittedly not all) and it’s like it takes him half an hour (okay exaggerating a bit) to start to get to a relevant point. To me he just kind of meanders along talking about how well he’s doing in the polls and how poorly someone else is doing and how everything is great with him, etc, etc.
I certainly don’t hear any real SUBSTANCE or anything delivered in the tone that a Reagan did or that even Cruz does.
To me, Trump shot out of the gates based on two factors- yes his tough talk. But also his celebrity status. We go crazy over celebrities in this country. Even when it comes to voting for them or supporting them for president and even amongst conservatives it would seem.
