We get that same ad here in Texas. That last sentence grates on my nerves every time I hear it. It's about as genuine as a three dollar bill. Completely inauthentic.
I hear that ad in Minneapolis on the same radio station which carries Rush Limbaugh.
I take it to mean that he will engage in Hillary-and-Bill like parsing of every single last *syllable* and *inflection* to weasel out.
How does a guy who went to Princeton and Harvard and was acclaimed as a world-class genius (*), manage to "forget" to disclose a loan from his IRA to his campaign, and manage to "forget" that he is a Cuban born in Canada, for purposes of citizenship...?
And his eyelashes keep setting off the lower range of my gaydar detector.
I like what he says: but the "humblebrag" biopics which explain the heavily data-driven campaign funded by the hedge-fund billionaire, make me feel as though I've been played. He's very quick with the "right' conservative answer, but it feels a little too...pat, or assembly-line built. The delivery is not robotic as with Rubio, but it is as though he NEVER allows himself to vary at all in the exact encapsulation of the message. Trump, you can tell ("Two Corinthians") hasn't memorized the Christianese, and so he comes across as more "message: I care" except that it looks like a sincere effort, not at all patronizing...
That's it. Cruz looks and sounds patronizing, even when he's being a slime bag (hiring that Roe dirty tricks guy, growling "EXACTLY what I said," etc.) (*) actually, he'd be at the top of the 2nd rank of Freepers, only more insufferable.
Speaking of Rush, have you heard that Cruz ad with the excerpt from Rush's show, where he went on and on about what a Reagan conservative Ted is?
I don't know how they're using that clip of Rush, unless Rush himself approved it.
It's the very first time I can remember any presidential candidate using a clip of Rush in a campaign ad. It says to me that Rush is tacitly endorsing Cruz for the nomination - something he's always sworn he'd never do.
