Cruz's 4 PM Announcement - Let's Speculate!

Anonymous
Rachel Maddow just informed me that Ronald Reagan chose a running mate well before the nomination in 1976. Cruz is such a poser.

Carly can give a good speech and deliver it without screeching like Hillary does when she tries to emphasize a point. Hillary's speaking style is grating and those who say that a woman giving a speech inevitably comes across shrill is just not true because there was nothing the least bit shrill about Carly. She actually gave a great speech, well delivered. I did not care for her singing at the start of the speech but that was made up for by the rest of the speech.


Yet no one votes for her.

I don't find Hillary shrill or grating. I do find Bernie grating and loud. I also find Trump's speaking style unbearably obnoxious. Tone plays very differently depending on the listener. In any event, I don't base my support for politicians on how well they deliver a speech.

A prominent Congressman came to visit my agency a few weeks ago. Gave a great speech, very charming, but I didn't believe a word he said, largely because I already know his politics, which are 180 degrees from mine. He may be a good speaker but he'd never get my vote.

^from page one. This person was correct. We did hear it *here* first.



He didn't disclose what that thing was on his lip that he ate!??? WTF. When are we going to find out?


Oh, stop already. It was a piece of mint.


When did he announce that?


He didn’t have to. It is common sense.
You people act like you’re 12 years old.


Sorry, that was not a mint.
Vote "Booger" Cruz 2016!

I don't support politicians on how well they deliver a speech either which is why I'd never vote for Carly although I think she is a good speaker.

But how one speaks from a stylistic standpoint impacts how effectively one communicates. I react to Hillary now the way I did to Palin and GWB - I mute the sound. Palin lacked the ability to speak coherently which one certainly cannot say about Clinton.

The odd thing about Hillary is that she is quite effective when she just converses in a normal tone. For a person who has been in the public arena so long, I am surprised that she has not honed her public speaking skills.

Is it ok to be a misogynist if the female is a conservative? Just curious as that seems to be the case.

Which posts directed at Fiorina do you consider to be misogynist?

That's what you do when you want to lose. The Donald doesn't play that way.


Eight years ago y'all said it was brilliant. Also, your strategy of yelling at Mexicans and women is currently touted as "refreshing".


And yet? The Mexicans have appointed someone to help clean up their image in the US. Why? Because Trump did not pander to their stomping and screaming.

I find it amusing that bunch of women attack a woman simply because she's a conservative. Hillary is corrupt as hell and gets a pass.

PP you are quoting. I'm probably in the minority but I rarely listen to speeches by anyone. I read transcripts of speeches or summaries of what was said. Maybe that's why most speech patterns or whatever don't bother me. I'm listening to the words, not the presentation, since when I read it I hear it in my own voice.

Hillary's speechs are always coherent. Palin's and Trump's are not. That comes across pretty clearly on the page in a way it perhaps doesn't when delivered.

Yes because women like her are gender traitor....a June Cleaver is you will.

It's pretty smart to pick a person known for downing before a state like Indiana. Cruz makes a lot of mistakes.

You're throwing around the "M" word without understanding what it means.

The mint theory makes no sense. How on earth would a tiny piece of mint end up on your upper lip? That is not how eating mints works. This is like the Reaganomics of boogers- it just doesn't work!
