But as the forum got underway, it became apparent that most of the speakers hadn’t prepared themselves accordingly. In fact, five of the six candidates gave some version of the standard stump speech they offer the public, attendees said, ignoring what one described as “the elephant in the room, this idea that people want to coalesce behind one candidate.”
The lone exception was Cruz. “He was the only one who bought into that and tailored his entire speech to it,” says the attendee, who, despite working for a rival candidate, gushed that on a scale of 1 to 10, Cruz’s speech was a 14. “He was pitch-perfect. He got briefed well by his staff. He came in like a lawyer making his case, effectively saying, ‘I am the only one who can unite the movement.’ ”
“Cruz blew everyone else out of the water,” says a second attendee, a CNP organizer who has not signed on with any of the 2016 contenders. “He made the best case, I think, for conservative leaders and organizations to think strategically about working together to help propel a conservative candidate into contention. He was savvy enough to understand what that room wanted to hear. Don’t just come and give us your conservative speech. Tell us: Why should we should support you? And tell us: What’s your plan to win?”
Big Bump to that, maybe Sarah will get in?
Soooooo .. I guess your candidate is Rubio ..??
Otherwise, why would you be flooding the thread with so many messages which badmouth Ted Cruz.
Sorry, but now that I’ve read your constant drumbeat .. here’s a little bit of news for you: “A Vote for TPA is Not a Vote for Obama”, by George Will. Hmmmmmm ..???
George Will is a Tory, i.e a statist Republican. You will understand TPA in a few months. Even Scott Walker likes it. A vote for TPA is a vote for the most capitalist hating free-trade hating president in American History to set the terms of trade. And Cementing AGW into the American system is a major priority of TPA, according to the President. TPA gives over control of the terms of trade to Obama in consortium with a group of heads of state that make determinations that are then binding on every level of the USA and can repeal US laws. If that is what you desire, well, what can I say?
Well .. it’s only your opinion .. and I wish you luck with it.
