I’ve listened to clips of Cruz on the radio and was impressed by his logic and eloquence.
But when I see Cruz on TV the combination of the voice, the cadence, the gestures and the facial expressions make me want turn the channel.
The problem with the Voting Public can be traced back to the Nixon - Kennedy Debates. The first Presidential Debates ever Televised.
Those who listened to the Debate on the Radio thought Nixon won hand’s down. Those that watched it on Television thought Kennedy won hands down.
Optics, optics, optics. The other issue is that Cruz’s voice grates on some People just as Palin’s or even Hillary’s voice grates on some People.
We must look outside the FR Bubble if we have any hope of understanding the typical American Voter.
I say this as a Cruz Supporter with Trump as my second choice, so I don’t have a Dog in the hunt for those who want to refute my Opinion. I believe the facts side with me in this situation, like it or not.
Heck, even FR Members can’t agree on things and we all are Political Junkies who rely on fact based information.
Me too... It’s a gut reaction. I don’t want to watch and/or listen to him.
