I know that there are a lot of good ideas and good people in our ranks.
They see religious liberty correctly as crucial, so how best to make sure we have that truth come out of the Executive?
Just saw this and will add it to the discussion:
Bush and Cruz on Religious Liberty: Same Message, Radically Different Deliveries
By Alexis Levinson — June 19, 2015
“....................................In his speech today, Bush spoke of his record, saying he would never espouse the “politically correct” notion that his faith would not influence his political decisions.
“The end point is a certain kind of politician that we’ve all heard before, the guy whose moral convictions are so private, so deeply personal, that he refuses to even impose them on himself,” Bush said. “Well, that’s not me.”
But he at times seemed most focused on getting through to the end of his speech.
“We’ve always left things better for the next generation. Can we honestly say today that that’s the case? We can’t. But we can fix it. I honestly believe we can,” Bush said, and the crowd began to applaud. But instead of pausing, he continued speaking, picking up his pace. Though there was a giant clock facing the stage that tracked each speaker’s remaining time, event organizers took no visible steps to end a speech if it went over.
In direct interactions with voters, Bush earns rave reviews. But the former Florida governor has been criticized in the past for his speech delivery, and that was on display Friday. Whereas in his presidential announcement Monday he seemed confident and collected — if at times bashful at the crowd’s adoring cheers — on Friday much of that seemed to be gone.
The growing field of 2016 Republican presidential candidates includes gifted orators — Cruz and Rubio perhaps the most notable. Bush begins the race as a frontrunner, but his ability to deliver on a big stage remains unproven.”
