So the Morning Joe crew were all fawning over the fact the Cruz was able to speak for 18 minutes

without a teleprompter. Oyyyyy!!!!

Ad libbing bullshit comes easy for most people. Most bullshitters I know can go at it for 18 minutes or longer, if permitted to. Cruz is no exception. Talking facts to an audience who is well informed; now that takes effort.

For me, I kill two birds with one stone. I know what the weather will be while getting dressed for work. And second, I know what the news topics for the day will be. That's my reason. Whether or not anyone here thinks it's a good enough reason, is their problem not mine.

I have no doubt that he has a general list of topics and bullet points that he want to talk about each day but most of his show is just free associating as evidenced by some of the nonsense that comes out on regular basis.
