2.) ideological purists
3.) no personality cultists (reagan, bush, trump, anyone)
4.) no milquetoasts/squishes (_will_ fight back against the media when justified)
5.) saints (no scandals)
6.) no too many ties to corporations and special interests
these are the six pillars to the perfect candidate
It's too bad we don't have control over the RNC, the three of us
if that were the case, this is what I could achieve.
@🎃Boo-ton🎃 the kinds of people who have some of those six pillars will tend to not have some of the others
Ted Cruz fits all these pillars
he didn't win,
number 7 would be a big enough microphone
people who aren't milquetoasts tend to not be saints
that's true
but you can balance it out
Cruz had too much saint-iness
what do you mean by personality cultist?
that they revere someone else like Reagan/Trump
or that they have a tendency to form a cult of personality around themselves
someone who ties their leg to a candidate and has none of their own ideas
Didn't Cruz get into a bit of trouble a few months back, he was caught liking porn on twitter or something like that?
that was a staffer, and it died out pretty quickly
@FLanon I wonder if that was a calculated stunt to make him seem more human
haha
you know why Cruz lost the general?
Among other things,
Recognition
he has a _really_ unfortunate face,
Trump had a brand, he stood out
what I mean by this,
is that Ted Cruz has the face and hair of a used car salesman
so when voters looked at him, they saw him as a liar
you would be surprised how many voters base their vote on how the candidate looks
they did studies on this,
when people have no information on what party a candidate belongs to,
or what they stand for,
they will vote for the candidate who looks more attractive
yeah, that's actually my biggest concern about the Saccone vs Lamb race
Saccone looks like an old corporate sleeze
Lamb looks like a fresh, young, helpful neighborhood familyman
and that's a problem
