I.M.D.
Absolute BS. Your post seems to be a textbook eample of trolling.
In spite of limitations, (every time Cruz tried to comment on something, they immediately cut him off, and went to a commercial) - He still managed to make the most of the brief time he was given by the MSM and GOPe, in their rigged, so called "debates".
(The Fox News focus group loved Cruz, He made a good impression there. )
As for my thoughts-it's still early in the race, and I think he's (Cruz) doing just fine. He needs to be himself. (And I hope he listens mostly to himself, because he's 10× smarter than any of his advisors. )
Everyone should know that there's a reason they (MSM/GOPe) go out of their way to keep Ted Cruz from saying too much.
Hint: It's not because he "has a terrible speaking voice and delivery".
I disagree, since I consider the choices Cruz is making a sensible strategy. Cruz is doing well enough to stay in the race and is broadly respected among conservatives. As more candidates drop, their supporters can go to a politician who insulted their top choice (almost everyone else) or the candidate who treated their pick with respect. Particularly in Trump’s case, if he fades, his supporters are likely to be positively inclined toward Cruz because he passed up so many opportunities to take a shot at Trump.
I want a president who is assertive at the right times, and that seems to be Cruz. It’s possible that he is working specifically to peak in the first few elections and trying not to peak too soon. If so, he’s a smart man.
I love the content of what he says, but I was disappointed in his delivery also.
But even a long game needs to build momentum or acquire it very quickly by an important primary win. Unless his ground game is extraordinary in Iowa, New Hampshire or South Carolina, it’s hard for me to see how he’s going to win.
I always praise CRUZ to my wife and she’s not buying it. She’s not “as” political as I am, so she doesn’t know the in and outs of why I like him. Her response “he gives me a creepy vibe for some reason, his delivery, it’s preachy.”
Ah..... the joys of marriage!
When Obama was elected she said, "You know, I fled communism to come here, but it looks like it followed me."
She likes Trump, primarily because he speaks his mind and has no fear of the media or PC speech codes.
IMHO, Kasich came across as corrupt, oily political douche.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS: It isn’t “the people” he’s not connecting with .. IT’S THE MEDIA WHO IS REFUSING TO EVEN SAY HIS NAME.
The media doesn’t like him .. and they have decided that they will do whatever they can to keep him from APPEARING TO RISE in the polls .. even if it means they have to LIE ABOUT IT.
And .. keep this in mind. If Ted was really only at 3-5% .. over-flow crowds would not be showing up to hear what he has to say.
THE MEDIA DOESN’T LIKE HIM. But, we cannot allow them to dictate who we vote for. The media’s dislike is based on POLITICS .. and their hatred for any Republican who is successful; and any Republican who doesn’t worship the media.
THE MEDIA IS SUPPORTING JEB BUSH. They won’t tell you that, but every time you turn on the TV, there is Jeb .. as though he’s running near Trump - WHICH JEB IS NOT.
Are you receiving the Cruz ping lists ..?? If not, please sign up for one or more of them and you will see that Cruz is really drawing huge crowds, and giving the people great information.
you need to go check the stats...you are wrong. Walker hurts himself with time because he’s often too concise....which is good...but when he is concise with his answer, he should then swerve into another topic...that’s how the people with the big time get some of it.
Cruz had the 8th most time last night......
