Cruz has picked up a few pointers from his big brother Donald Trump. Cruz is realizing he better do something different or he will never get out of the rut he is in. Listening to Ted here sounds just like The Donald.
He sounds nothing like the Donald.
Look, Trump is fun, and we have all enjoyed having him stir the pot, but he speaks like the blowhard businessman he is. Cruz (whom I don’t support, even though I admire this performance and consider it presidential) is methodical and judicious; his words are carefully considered and he possesses real gravitas. Trump by contrast is a attention-hungry clown, a poo-flinging monkey whose naughty tricks make us laugh because most of the poo is landing on our enemies.
Cruz was before Trump. Not after.
