I’m for Cruz—but he had better learn how to communicate. Yeah, yeah, yeah, national debate champ... He sounds as though he thinks his audience is slow. Result: BORING!
I’ll bet Trump talks at 200-250 WPM—i.e., like a human, and Cruz usually talks 100-150 WPM.
I was listening to another Cruz interview on radio. Agreed with 150% of what he said. But the nasal voice and the stammering are IRRITATING. “I-I-I...” “A-a-a-and...” It’s not a clinical stammer, I’m sure of it. I KNOW he’s not searching for the next word!!! It’s a mannerism he developed along the line. He needs to get rid of it.
You’re exactly right.
Nothing against your opinion. But it reminded me of the perceptional bias I have when looking at or hearing a candidate.
For instance, I’ve seen Scott Walker in interviews and while the content isn’t something I’m especially for or against, he sometimes gets a little smile, a little sort of smirk that reminds me so much of Eddie Haskell on “Leave it to Beaver” it isn’t funny. Odd that.
Other times (if one would get down to personal bias) when I hear Jeb Bush, I get the distinct impression he’s searching for the correct English word for what he’s thinking in Spanish...:0)

***********************************
Trump is a NYer. Cruz is a Texan. Us Texans just can’t talk as fast as the folks in NY, MA, PA, NJ, etc.
Slow talking is OK, but I also don’t like that nasal tone of Cruz’. ....I DO like his messages!
