alan grayson ted cruz from time to time on this channel I'll be putting a spotlight
on top political communicators today
I want to look at congressman
there's a congressman down *** alan Grayson
now serve you may hate him some love you may love him
alan grayson ted cruz I do want to analyze exactly what he's doing well in one he gets a
outsized sup portion
have media quotes and media attention he is an absolute master
the sound bite I want to share with his on his comments that he made
on CNN just yesterday regard integrity said
alan grayson ted cruz well de cruz represents the element of the republican party that's trying to
hasten
the apocalypse why is that quoted businesses picked up in media i
a lot of other news places to not just on Sienna
apocalypse is such a bold
alan grayson ted cruz emotional were action really end of the world its
its own attacking so has happen doesn't sound byte elements
right there he says quote these are people
who think that Obamacare
is helping to save lives and they want to destroy it anyway
so not just saying the wrong policy he says
there sir craven actually want to destroy human lives
these are people who understand a government shutdown causes chaos
alan grayson ted cruz to the economy and they want to do it anyway
again much more forceful attack and what you see coming from Harry Reid
or certainly from Obama or other top Democrats
these are people who understand defaulting on the national debt
would drive unemployment's sky-high and they what to do it
anyway and that is attack attack attack
analogy cliche sky-high these are also by elements that reporters
simply find irresistible continue
he was asked his comments on
Ted Cruz being named statesmen the year
by Sarasota republicans which is not that far away from Alan Grayson's
district years when he said
calling him the statesman up the year
would be like calling Jim Jones the religious leader
a the here cruises quote trying to create a mass
suicide Colt call the Tea Party
and lead it folks again you may
agree with him you may disagree with them but
any fair-minded person would say it's really funny
even if you disagree with him its colorful it's interesting
it's memorable its cold because it it's such a forceful attack it so much
more forceful than what most politicians have either party are willing to send
it's more visual
evokes pop culture and that's what makes it
quotables so that's why congressman Alan Grayson
is an extraordinarily effective communicate not being fair today folks
this is a really about politics because I would say
the senator Ted Cruz very gentleman's critiquing your
is equally a factor as a communicator
because he is willing to do exactly the same thing
alan Grayson is dinner I'm not saying they're both the same
you can only judge that based on your assumptions are
whose actually telling the truth but they're both
extraordinarily effective communicators I'm TJ walker
