So it’s written that before the speech he was viewed as too “confrontational”.
Now where do we suppose this idea of too “confrontational” came from?
And then after the speech, people have to “rethink” because the speech was so good.
This illustrates perfectly the Reaganesque qualities of Ted Cruz. Reagan faced the same dilemma. He had to face audiences who had been ‘conditioned’ by the media to think he was a nutjob who only wanted to nuke the Soviets. Then Reagan would speak and everyone listening would change their entire view of him.

The genius of Ted Cruz is that he speaks to his Truth. He doesn’t change that Truth to pander to the vagaries of public opinion; instead, he merely continues to make his case until he convinces even the most cynical, to adopt the the wisdom of his position.

Best thing I’ve heard all day. They have a little pulpit. We need the secular and Jewish conservatives praising him too! Make the libs eat their anti christian words.

Just like Reagan, everyone knew he was too extreme, and had no chance, until they heard him speak and listened to what he said, and then thought, what’s so extreme about this guy?

Bill Kristol: Hillary in Trouble If Challenged by Dem...yeah, well I remember Rush's "Operation Chaos", the drive to get people to go vote in 'rat primaries whenever possible against Hill and for Obama on the theory that he would be so much easier to beat than she would be - didn't that work out well, in so many ways......
