So let me be the first to aggravate the Cruz supporters here. Actually, ‘gravitas’ is the last thing I think of when I think of Cruz. He plays incredibly poorly to the masses and would be a turnoff for many general election voters. Ted has a tendency to come across as the typical Ivy League lawyer who has the answer to everything and speaks with a courtroom demeanor which comes across as a mix of theatrics and insincerity.
Gravitas though is a meaningless word used by the elites to denigrate Bush during the 2000 election. I prefer leadership. When you look at all the candidates on either side of the ledger, the only one that projects leadership is Trump and it’s not close. Ted can debate an issue to death and probably win the argument, but he’d get few followers. Trump, for being a billionaire, talks like a regular guy and that will attract voters in droves during a general election. Ask yourself who the average guy will support more times than not and it will be Trump. Ted doesn’t have that ability. He might be the best pure conservative on the issues (and that’s a debateable point), but it’s meaningless if you can’t bring them to the polls.
I guess you really haven’t watched any of his many videos. He is honest, truthful, and can be very funny.
We do not need a warm and make-you-feel-good president. We need a leader.
Ted is definitely (and obviously) struggling to attract the masses.
Aside from that, I don’t give credence to anything Beck has to say.
Great post and oh, so true.
