That’s what I see in Cruz - lacking the leadership qualities. He hasn’t even really proven himself as a leader in the Senate. Nor has he, to my knowledge, ever ran a business. His entire career to this point is being in government in one form or another. Heck, I even read that his entire life’s goal was to be in government. That makes me queasy. I like him and believe he is a solid conservative on most issues, but, his voice irritates me somewhat. I could vote for him if it came to that, but right now I have a choice.
Well, I too think he is a good man, but yes he does not have good voice projection and he does have an odd look.
I personally wouldn’t hold either of those two things against him, but there are some who will.
But both of those two characteristics kind of go with his not having any natural leadership qualities.
It’s just one of those that that you are born with or not, and really very few people are born with such qualities.
I would go so far as to call natural leadership qualities extremely rare.
