Senator Ted Cruz perhaps to detailed in his presidential announcement speech.

Posted on March 25, 2015 by acfishe

Senator Ted Cruz from Texas was the first to announce his bid for the presidential run in 2016. As an announcement speech goes Cruz came out rather explicit and forceful in regards to issues and his agenda as he declared his bid at Liberty University in Virginia. If you were looking for a traditional more value presented announcement speech, this is not what Cruz delivered. At the front end of the senators speech he came out with a clear agenda to repeal Obamacare and secure our borders. Both issues that would perhaps been better left to comment on at a later date. After the rhetoric of agenda Cruz focused on what I call his his ‘John Lennon’ inspired speech segment. The the theme here was Cruz and what he imagined. Imagine a president that follows the constitution, imagine a president that secures our borders, ect……. At which point I didn’t know if i wanted to damn the current administration or just relax and listen to an old Beatles album. Besides the mixed message of political concerns I did manage to comprehend his use of the word liberty. Perhaps used to energize the crowd seeing he was at Liberty University however the only part of his speech I feel was best suited for a presidential announcement. Of course i wasn’t the only one to be critical of this rather non-traditional speech tactic. Most all major networks expressed their critical view in regards to Cruz’s delivery. As for a more traditional ending Cruz did bring out his wife and children to give us all that family man appeal and emotional input.

    In your description o f Senator Ted Cruz’s speech, it makes me think back to when we discussed language in class. When we talked about language and society being social, with all of the things Ted Cruz did to stand out were obviously intentional and well planned out. In class our example for social objects was a US flag pin, which Senator Cruz did not in fact wear for his announcement speech. Social action his type of walk and his way of dressing, all of this was intentional to make you view him in a certain way whether it was a go getter who knows what he stands for to a bully who thinks he can push his views on people. And to Social networks the audience that he spoke in front of at Liberty University, he spoke during part of a meeting held 3x a week that is mandatory for students.
