I’m already sick of these concerned writers and their pompous attitudes.

Cooke ABSOLUTELY NAILS IT.

Cruz is my favorite candidate.

But the speech yesterday was EXCRUCIATING. It should have taken fifteen minutes to deliver. Maybe TEN minutes.

Cooke really nails it when he says Cruz seems to believe that “every line should be an applause line.”

Ronald Reagan always knew that, even if he was talking in front of to 50,000 people, his REAL audience of 50 million people were sitting about eight feet from their TV sets.

Reagan didn’t call out his speeches like announcements in a train station. He talked like a human. Reagan usually stepped on applause, because he knew the audience at home doesn’t care about applause.

The high-pitched, nasal voice, and the habit of declaiming, even screaming, each line of a speech, as though amplification had not yet been invented, contributed to Sarah Palin’s downfall as a campaigner. Ted Cruz has much the same faults. Voice tense and nasal. Too loud. Pausing after EVERY sentence for applause.

Cruz needs to fix these flaws or he is finished.

Sadly, many conservatives will take what was said and decide that Cruz doesn’t stand a chance; waiting for that one perfect conservative candidate.

That is what allows the GOPe to get their way.

Let’s suppose Cooke is right, and he is off-putting in person. THat effects, say, 0.00001% of the electorate.

Cooke might as well just get it over with and call him a “spic”.

The article reflects a WHOLE lot of pointless pontificating but contains very little validity.

Opinion pieces seem to have that tendency.

The one thing I hold against Cruz is that he’s another damned lawyer. Now, as attorney general or a supreme court justice, he’d be gangbusters. But really, enough with the lawyers!

That said, he’s still preferable to any RAT.
