Sure. What's not to misunderstand when Trump talks plainly.
Trump: I love the Muslims. I think they're great people.
But that's all besides the point. The point is that Trump speaks in common language, language that the average Joe can understand. Much like Reagan did. Cruz speaks as a lawyer. He's just not connecting with the average Joe. That's not a knock against Cruz. It's just some unasked-for advice.
Because the GOp nominee, whoever that is, must connect with the average Joe to beat Hillary.
