I too quit Cruz this week.
cruz has a great message, a strong core belief system, he’s a solid conservative...
...but he has zero ability to connect to people who are not already part of the choir. And YES, this will matter tremendously in a general. Cruz is an easy guy to hate based solely on his delivery.
This is the difference between Cruz and Reagan. Reagan had the ability to convince through his tone. To charm your senses, even if you didn’t agree 100% with him. When Cruz speaks you feel like you’re in a cold pond being baptized by the village snake handler.
It’s a shame too. He’s a good man.
