Cruz is too soft spoken.

Last night he asked if he could speak up, instead of just getting it out there!

Seesh, better to ask forgiveness than permission.

I don't disagree. Cruz also has a style that makes him sound very prototypical "politician" until you spend the time to actually listen to what he's saying. I think that is a result of being an experienced litigator and debater, but it may turn some people off.

However, if given a chance I think he has by far the best mix of intellect, courage, and unshakeable principles of any of the candidates. Hopefully he gets the chance to be heard.
