“The rally Tuesday had been scheduled before it was known whether Ms. Davis would be released. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, also a Republican presidential contender, made an appearance, but it was Mr. Huckabee, a former Baptist pastor, who grabbed the political spotlight.
When Senator Cruz exited the jail a throng of journalists beckoned him toward their microphones, but an aide to Mr. Huckabee blocked the path of Mr. Cruz, who appeared incredulous.”
This is a weakness of Ted’s. You should always occupy the high ground of physical violence, or at least show you have no fear of fighting for it, and damaging your opponents and their interests in the process. Comfort with the push and pull of physical violence is something that is difficult to fake, so it requires spending time knocking heads, ideally when you are young, and learning that the consequences of a tussle are not that bad. If you can get good at it, even better. The ideal is to enjoy it, and miss it when it isn’t happening on a regular basis.
From that moment forward, when you cross paths with other men they will innately sense your lack of fear (or ideally, repressed glee at the thought of a tussle), and 99 times out of a hundred, they will let you be with little more than a wary eye. The regular populace will recognize it too, and they will tend to see you as more of a leader, and be nicer around you. Ted’s civility in matters of physical confrontation is a definite weakness which, if he were as thorough as Trump in executing his campaign, he would deal with through some training – ideally probably grappling so he would feel he could escalate from gentle assertions of force to wrecked joints, as the circumstances demanded.
