This is why I dumped TV in 1997. I was a news junkie but HATED the bias. I can relate. My epiphany came during the Carter Administration. Before that I listened to News Radio!!! That is a junkie. My daughter was shocked to learn that I had been that way when she was very small; all her aware years she had known me to treat the news as a commercial for a product I wouldnt accept if you gave it to me. Which is what it is. I still have a TV because there are things I enjoy on it. But
Why Broadcast Journalism is
Unnecessary and Illegitimate

Sure is interesting watching the pieces move around.

Well, Cruz does have to have a running mate.

Plus Jeb(!), Krispie Kreme, and Linda Grahamnesty.

If Cruz and other conservatives had “world class communication skills” they would not be ignored by the media. That they are ignored by the media is objective proof that they lack “world class communication skills”.
Conservatives playing the victim card (victim of the media, victim of RINOs, etc) is a major communication error that proves we lack communication skills.

If Cruz and other conservatives had world class communication skills they would not be ignored by the media. Case in point, Trump rarely speaks a complete sentence.

I don’t see the kid gloves towards Bush. He was ripping him yesterday, in fact. On the other hand, Trump hasn’t said a single unkind thing to Cruz. Nor Cruz about him.

They aren’t birds of a feather. One is committed conservative who’s qualified to be President (His name starts with a “C”), the other isn’t.

Look at Carsons positions...he has had to evolve several times. Most notably on the 2nd Amendment.
Okay, so Ted will do his "evolving" later ...

He hasn’t said anything unkind about Carson either.
Trump values loyalty...Cruz has been loyal.
Truth be told, though, Trump really hasn’t taken it to the moderates in the race so far. He MUST target Bush and Rubio...

Trump specializes in platitudes and generalizations which, while temporarily refreshing in our current political culture, display a lack of depth and reflect a lightweight approach to the root causes of national problems as well as their solutions. This just isn't true, as Trump's new book proves.
Trump, in fact, is dealing with the ultimate root cause - the economy. And he has concrete ideas on how to fix it - fast.

Communication skill is the skill to achieve your objective. If you objective is to attract attention that is different than the objective to educate.
Ron Paul/Newt style has always been to educate. They communicate facts and logic to the few.
Obama’s style is the opposite of Ron Paul. Obama wants no part of education. He wants to energize emotions of “love Obama” and “hate the opponent” that have zero to do with what Ron Paul/Newt deal with.
To: Kaslin
I was surprised Cruz didn’t climb in the polls after nailing the turtle to the wall. He is not resonating with voters for some reason. As for Trump he is running his game plan brilliantly.

IT would be amazing if Trump cleared the way for a Cruz/Palin ticket. Notice Palin has been talking up Trump.
Would be a happy thing to happen.
To: Resettozero
I adore Palin but think she’s been too damaged and would hurt Cruz’s chances. I’d like to see a Cruz/Gowdy ticket and for him to put Palin on his cabinet.

Easy one. Nope! Trump is a fake conservative product of the Clintons.
Cruz is a good conservative Trump parodies.

Newt actually does educate Ron titillates.
