Ted has that Marjoe Gortner thing going...except Marjoe was more charismatic. Cruz just doesn’t have that “something.” I mean saying that Trump is going to do business with Harry Reid is a bit disingenuous as Reid will be out of office at the end of his term. (retiring). So that is a nothing burger.
Compare the two speeches tonight. Trump talks about all the good things that will happen, etc...Cruz gives a stump speech knocking the frontrunner.
[[Cruz just doesn’t have that “something.”]]
That something is he’s too timid- when people talk over him he shuts down- he doesn’t exert himself enough and people want someone who acts tough- I wondered for awhuiel what it was about him that turned people off, and came to the conclusion that he kinda sounds too much like a politician, but I think more importantly was the idea that he just acts a bit too timid- He can sound tough WHEN he isn’t interrupted- but if someone challenges him he is too meek and that i think resonates with folks- unfortunately with folks it’s all about perception and looks-, and not substance-
