The problem I see with Cruz is that he is too intelligent. His responses come off scripted - even though I am sure they are spontaneous- because he thinks so much faster than the average Joe. His responses in the debate lacked any pauses- understandable since the moderators kept cutting him off so he had to talk while he can. But it makes it harder for the average person to follow along.

SC justices can keep up with him, but not everyone is in that category.

His strength is his conservative message and he just needs to keep at it. Others - Carson, Fiorina for 2 - will just beca flash in the pan, and as ling as he is the steady tortoise, he will bypass the RINOs. I hope.

His fundraising has been pretty spectacular so he’s impressing a lot of people.

I think his speech is quite measured. My husband and I have commented before on the deliberate pauses when he talks, as though to allow his audience to digest what he's saying. That measurement, I suspect, stems from his legal training and from arguing before the Supreme Court.

Have you seen any of Cruz's recent one-on-one speeches? He's actually quite forceful and animated...also conversational and funny.. One of his strengths is connecting with people.
