Has Anyone Ever Notice How Much Cruz Stutters?

That's all I can hear or look for when he's interviewed nowadays. Try it. You'll be amazed.

All I can figure iis when he's lying he starts to stutter every few words. Or when he's at a loss for words.

Usually sounds something like this.

Wwwwwe are not ccccitizens of the Uuuuunited States.


When he's telling the truth or really means what he says, the stutter goes away.

My thoughts are that stuttering develops in a child from an overbearing parent. At least it did for me. I out grew it once I moved out at 17. Even now if I occasionally get really upset, I will stutter. And yes, it's embarrassing! So could be one of his parents was an overbearing parent and in his exposure on the national scene to the public, it's enough to make him stutter. Or maybe he's just lying as OP said ;)

He's usually a very smooth talker. One of the things I admired about him was how well he filibustered.

However, when he's caught in a lie, he loses the fluency and becomes slightly discombobulated. The change is very apparent.

Speaking of his nose, I wonder if he can touch it with his tongue.

Sorry never noticed. My problems with cruz is that he does not appear presidential. He looks like a little boy and his a high pitched voice. Compare him to Trump, Trump appears like an old time stern schoolmaster in comparison.

And his ears too. I was NOT criticizing anyone that stutters. This is about Cruz only. I know folks that stutter but what Cruz does is just totally weird.

I'm interested in body lanquage and this speaks louder than words.

Once again. This is about Cruz only. And you can see what i'm saying by observing his interviews.

Cruz lost me when he announcd he was foreign born, then kept bragging about it
AND
A Being a Constitutional Scholar

In essence taking what he knows to be an illegal grab and crowing about it

I dont care what the Harvard Law Review wrote 3 years ago
If an honest Supreme Court reviews, case law will start in Philadelphia in 1786, when Natural Born was defined. Not in political editorials"" since Pelosi submitted Obama in 2007

The only job Cruz created was nominating Roberts, and Chief Justice Roberts gave us Obamacare
Cruz will give us the North American Union

Who nominates US Supreme Court justices?
http://www.answers.com/Q/Who_nominates_US_Supreme_Court_justices

This process is mandated by Article II, Section 2 of the US Constitution:

"[The President] shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by law: but the Congress may by law vest the appointment of such inferior officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the courts of law, or in the heads of departments."

The face is the index of the mind, and that is what Trump was referring to when he mentioned Fiorina's face. Nothing to do with beauty or lack of same. Look at "beautiful" "celebrities" and Mother Theresa.... it's expression of the face, and the eyes, and also physiognomy means something as well.

Here's an interview where Bret Baier corners him on his flip-flopping on immigration. He does a lot stammering at the beginning of each question but then smooths out as he gets his bearings. I don't notice him doing this unless he's up against the wall.

Sometimes a child who stutters is encouraged to go into public speaking to "cure" them of it. As a young man he was with a group that went around reciting the Constitution. Then he was on a celebrated debating team. Then he argued cases in court (including the Supreme Court) as an attorney.

Sometimes our greatest weakness becomes a strength through discipline.

I read over a year ago that Cruz did stutter as a child so I'm sure that what you're sharing is as correct as it is thoughtful. Can't you people speculate @ a higher level about issues taken from documents or first hand accounts? Really.

I came across this in an article; maybe that's Cruz's problem, too?

"It’s not that Obama can’t speak clearly. It’s that he employs the intellectual stammer. Not to be confused with a stutter, which the president decidedly does not have, the intellectual stammer signals a brain that is moving so fast that the mouth can’t keep up. The stammer is commonly found among university professors, characters in Woody Allen movies and public thinkers of the sort that might appear on C-SPAN but not CNN…"

Nice try, didn't work. Who gives a flying f**k if he stutters or not? Why don't you focus your attention on something that matters?

I tried to inject a little humor :lol:

Seven months of attacks on Trump have left me a little callous. I didn't think commenting on Cruz's stammer when he was cornered would hit such a nerve.

IN every interview I see with Cruz, I never get the feeling that he is conversing with another person. It's like he's teaching or preaching to them. I hate hearing it all the time. And it seems as though everything comes from his head and he never speaks from the heart. But that's asking too much!

I know!

I think he may be an ACTUAL robot!

I remember that night George Noory had a guest on and what he described is EXACTLY what I FEEL
when he speaks!
