Cruz rises above the petty. He is also probably the smartest guy in any room.
From what I can see, from a perspective 200+ miles North of the border, Ted Cruz reminds me of Stephen Harper. Both are VERY bright and Christian and, while they may both be great in one on one conversations, they come across somewhat, and are portrayed by the ‘drive-by,by media’, as ‘policy wonks’, lacking charisma.
Unfortunately, our MTV/MuchMusic dumbed down, instant gratification, non-thinking, yet all ‘feeling’ society, prefers the ‘sizzle’ to the ‘steak’. Why else was O’Venal’ elected in the US, and Bébé Turd-owe elected in Canada? Style over substance! Since the ‘drive-by’ media pimps the ‘progressive’ politician and slams the ‘conservative’ politician, the idea of a ‘lack of charisma’ of a conservative politician is re-inforced by the MSM.
As the oldest, most conservative generation passes away, the ‘progressives’ will continue to gain control over our society. Perhaps allowing large numbers of Eastern Europeans in, who remember the excesses of the ‘progressives’, can breathe new life into ‘conservativism’.
