2. His explanation will be that Biden was so boring that it put him to sleep.

He cannot help himself. He's just an asshole.

The concerns of Americans bore him.

6. But everyone is talking about him. That's what he wanted.

I was just reading today about an advertising study that showed consumers usually picked a brand they had heard most about, even if what they heard was not positive.

Republicans make hay with that.

Even with Republican's out of power, I bet an Average American could identify more Republican members of Congress than Democratic members.

9. in the advertising industry

that's called "top of mind awareness."

There's something to it.

My Master's thesis was on the role of familiarity in decision making. As a politician or candidate, acting in ways that will keep one memorable in the minds of voters is a strategy. They have discovered that "substance" isn't necessary, memorability will do the trick.

Now considering that their only real purpose is to obfuscate, it becomes a very handy trick and explains why slugs like Cruz can get re-elected.

7. He obviously had another heavy meal.

Don’t know why anyone goes to a speech and just nods off!

18. Sorry Cruz...

Sorry, dude. Falling asleep and dreaming that you are a functioning human being beloved by all aint gonna cut it. Eventually you will have to wake up and realize that you are still a slimy, sleazy, slithering reptile hated by everyone.
