The usual trite speech and lack of charisma.

This is the reason Cruz has remained mired from the gitgo in "place" and "show" positions in this horse race.

I like Cruz's positions and his personal competitive efforts, but I actually felt no great urge to even watch his speech...and I believe I'm indicative of the feelings of most GOP voters (who are respectful, but uninspired by him)....as the polls consistently verify.

>>>The usual trite speech and lack of charisma.<<<

I listened to the speech online...it was a serious an detailed address about the major issue of the moment, US foreign policy. This speech was NOT, nor meant to be, a campaign stemwinder. Rather, Cruz was delivering a solemn assessment with his plans and approaches to many of the key flash points that are facing the US. He was even reading from a text...totally different from a campaign speech.

Oh, I'm sure you didn't. You've become used to the circus sideshow, so now nothing but Kardashian-style entertainment will do.

It's so pathetic.
