Cruz is doing a decent job of talking to political junkies, and a terrible job of talking to everyone else. Some of that is the media’s fault and much of it is Ted Cruz’s fault.
Find a friend of yours who doesn’t pay much attention to politics. Ask those people what Trump wants to do. Don’t ask them about their opinion of Trump. Ask them what actual government actions the Trump wants. They will definitely tell you that he wants to build a wall, ban Muslim immigration, and deport illegal aliens. They will tell you that he will negotiate better trade deals and either get our allies to contribute more to their defenses or else abandon our alliances. .. they all know what he wants to do.
Now ask those same friends what Cruz wants. They might know that he was born in Canada, and they may have some opinions about the various memes making fun of his appearance, but ask them what Cruz wants the government to do. You might get repeal Obamacare. You will more likely get absolutely nothing.
I haven’t heard a single news report where Cruz has said one thing that would impact the life of a voter. ....Cruz talks in the coded language of political junkies. He talks about religious liberty and partial birth abortion, but large swaths of his hearers have no idea what he is talking about....The regular person couldn’t tell you anything, because Cruz might as well be speaking a foreign language in his prepared speeches and his paid media.
I also suspect that this is why Cruz does better in low turnout contests.
Do they want to replace the current tax system with a flat tax and a VAT? I doubt it.

The Annointed One needs to return to his day jod as a career government employee
Agree with the article. I find your post, however, to be typical, juvenile Trump fan boy crap.
Constant ad hominem gets really tiresome.
People just don’t like him now. He should’ve just dropped out while he still had a career. Buh bye Teddie.
“Agree with the article”
I posted the article. I didn’t add any commentary..just excerpts. So what is your problem?
Maybe it looks like I added something. I had to shorten it to meet the 300 word limit.
“I posted the article. I didn’t add any commentary..just excerpts. So what is your problem?”
He just likes to say”ad hominem” as many times a day as possible or sometimes Kabuki if the time is right
At this point, anyone who supports Cruz the Establishment Hack is tiresome.
“I haven’t heard a single news report where Cruz has said one thing that would impact the life of a voter. ....”
Which is why so few vote for him, and why he thinks he can win without voters.
Another proof he is not a Constitutionalist.
Is this like the Cruz invisible army we’ve heard about before? Everything is invisible with this guy. Cruz is going to have an invisible campaign pretty soon.
Now that’s just plain funny
Don’t like Ted being called a career government employee? Too bad. He isn’t
Having been all-in against Trump, and not having picked Kasich, the cucks at NR have to blame Cruz. And they deserve each other.Rhode Island Poll: 90% of Female Voters Reject Senator Ted Cruz (LOL)
So the media should help cruzifer while continuing it’s 24/7 assault on soon to be President Trump?-)
Don’t ask them what his health care plan is. He doesn’t have one.
He’s right. Remember the dumbing down of America.
Spiliakos is right. As an active sucessful participant in Reagan’s efforts I can tell you first hand the Cruz campaign is more directed on getting delegates and not much interested in getting the popular vote.
