Cruz Needs Public Speaking Lessons?

[cereal_killer]

I have to say that the way Ted Cruz speaks is really beginning to grate on me. He has this systematic way of speaking that he NEVER deviates from when he's doing his stump speech or any other speech for that matter.

It goes something like this:

I'm the son of immigrants *stupid chuckle* *pause* We will stand unapologetically with Israel!! *stupid chuckle* pause* On day one I will rip to shreds the Iran deal *stupid chuckle* *pause* Now let me tell you folks *stupid chuckle* *pause* When I'm president of the United States I will repeal and replace Obama Care *stupid chuckle* *pause* You know when my dad came to the US *stupid chuckle* *pause* he had $100 in his pocket *stupid chuckle* *pause*

He continues this stream of a few words followed by this dumb chuckle and a pause throughout his entire speech. Never deviates. It's gotten so bad for me that I cannot handle listening to him anymore.

Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me?

UPDATE: Gawker picked up on it to Group

He suffers from dumbass Texan syndrome. It's what Dubya has. That's not to say all Texans are dumb. But many are afflicted.

Look at that. At any given time, neither of them have any idea what's going on.

I agree, Ted Cruz has very annoying voice, they had him on the BBC World Service babbling something, naturally I turn radio off as I cannot stand the sound of his voice.

He has a way of mugging for the camera during those pauses.....it gets irritating

We were discussing this yesterday...Cruz in college debate team practice...So annoying..

His delivery is terrible. Reminds me of one of those teachers who could put you to sleep. Its like a long drone, he does need to work on that.

While we are on the topic of public speaking, let me give some advice to Hillary

You are a woman, stop trying to shout oratory like a deep voiced man. It does not work. Recognize the range of your own voice...when you raise it, you sound shrill

Take advantage of being a woman and speak in calm relaxed tones

He had to warm up his gestures?

Hillary now officially sounds terrible, heard clip of her addressing crowd in Florida, very hoarse and bellowing very loudly.

 

[Eaglewings]

I actually thought Rubio did well keeping the people engaged ... I have a feeling we will see him back again.

 

[rightwinger]

Now can we discuss Trump?

Lose the stupid faces. It is just fodder for Saturday Night Live skits. Think "presidential". Saying you are presidential does not make you so

Also. Orange does not become you. Those goggles you wear when they spray your face orange leaves white circles around your eyes......it looks Umpa Lumpa creepy

Really? Rubio often sounded like pre-programmed robot to me.

I do love the cell phone song he did on SNL

Cruz's chuckles just seem too awkward and forced. He tries too hard to speak like a human being. Dude is just creepy.

Those baritone sounds are not coming from Hillary's mouth.

What is Bill hiding behind the podium, or does Hillary have bad gas...?

How about "I invite you to join us @ tedcruz.org" and spreads his arms in an embracing gesture... WTF? I fucking turn the tv off and walk outside...

Maybe his cowboy boots are too tight?

Maybe her voice will lower during advanced stages of her throat cancer.
