Yup. He sounds like he’s reading off a teleprompter even though he doesn’t have one. And that comes across as ‘false’.
That’s why Trump supporters keep saying that ‘he’s telling it like it is,’ and ‘I believe him’. Speaking off the cuff comes across as more honest.

Cruz is my choice because his deep knowledge of our Constitution, and dedication to our founding principles, make him the best choice to attempt to repair all the damage that's been done.
That said-IMO Donald Trump has been a great benefit to this election.
He has fought a one man war against the MSM and political correctness .
He has also forced them to focus on issues they want to ignore.
Just my two cents.
Like I said - 17 years of freeping down the drain.
Hillary The Liar is on the ropes, and Trump is schlonging the stuffing out of her.
**snicker** :)
Well, I have painfully perused the first two pages of replies - and it is much as I expected. A lot of air-pumping... a lot of fantastic (as in fantasy) pronouncements, a whole lot of rah rah populism, and some dreamy-eyed idolatry...
Not a single answer based in reason and principle... An answer requiring thought... Not one. It’s all emoting, all the time.
What is truly amazing to me is how many there are that have discarded Conservatism altogether... That does make sense in that Trump cannot be defended by Conservative principles, nor does he stand upon them. No one defends his record, relying solely upon his promises on the stage... Promises typical to populists, which mean exactly nothing. Vaporware. That so many are so doe-eyed is a caution.
But, you can take solace in the statistical fact that the clamoring voice on FR is usually wrong.
Yes Cruz is a socialist. I see him supporting the continuation of socialist programs.
yawn
Why are FReepers rallying around a crony socialist?
Because Lindsey Graham quit the race.... : )
Merry Christmas to all Freepers great and small. Some being greater than others. :-)
C. Wrong, I've been posting about Media Players on Free Republic since the beginning of the impeachment wars.
You never even made my radar. That means you ain't written anything worth reading.
Now, I've seen your name around here, but there was never any fire attached to your words. You would have at least got a tick or two next to your name.
You better up your game. :)
The fact of the matter is this, if Trump wasn’t running Jeb would be the Republican Nominee and Hillary would be busy picking out the Oval Office Drapes. Your Post does nothing to change that fact.
The Republican Party has done nothing for its Base. They made Trump with help from their BFF Ovomit. Many of those Republican Politicians on stage have helped create the mess that Trump Supporters have had enough of.
Perhaps they should be target of scorn, not Trump. For all his faults and past Opinions, he didn’t create this mess.
For me it’s Cruz first, Trump second. The only question is, which one of those Men can get support from enough Voters outside the Republican Party bubble to win the Presidency.
That remains to be seen, but Trump currently has that advantage. Of course, everything is subject to revision.
I’m not going to call you an idiot. I’ll just idly wonder if you cry yourself to sleep every night.
Reason is simple. How a candidate believes is useless if he goes along to get along or if he can be in any way bought or threatened or put in a box because he owes donors or dealmakers.
His great conservative beliefs once in there are as useful to him (and us) as a wish, after you step off a cliff, that you could go back onto land.
We are shut out of a tyrannical two party government that rules us. The only way to attempt - which is all we got as we are now serfs - getting a govt for, by, and of the People is for a billionaire, an independently wealthy person, with balls of steel and no family member unprotected, to get in there for us. If they love the country and want to do this, it’s our only hope.
Your thinking is correct for the 20th century elections, but today we are owned and we need a coup. How they feel on issues is non applicable.
I have a question that somebody here may be able to answer; why has there been so little acknowledgement of Trump’s hosting Celebrity Apprentice as instrumental to his popularity? I never watched the show, so I don’t know whether he is just playing the same character on a larger stage. I am guessing that he draws minority support like no other Republican candidate because viewers of that show saw him dealing with minority apprentices in an even-handed way and that ,overall, people experienced him as fair and wise about decisions he made( if that was his role, I don’t know).
Laz, if someone doesn’t want to understand, there’s nothing you can do to stop them.
yawn
LOL!
It was the cost of doing stuff in the big liberal city. Bribes, favors and high fees are common.
I've been a true dittohead since the days when he was weekends only, but even I could see his response was totally inadequate. My greatest fear is that the 'true con' in this race is not quite as anti-establishment as he would appear.
your insane jealousy is plain for all to see.....
BTW, who are you? Oh wait, no one cares
