Ted Cruz-Hating Esquire Editor Now Upset His New Beard Makes Him Look Good
Newsbusters ^ | December 13, 2018 | P.J. Gladnick

How shallow are liberal journalists? Ted Cruz's new beard looks really good and Esquire managing editor Ben Boskovich is upset about that. See, he finds it easier to hate the clean-shaven Cruz and now that the Texas senator is looking better in his opinion, that has thrown Boskovich for a loop. 

Despite his continuing hate for Cruz's conservative politics, Boskovich now sounds like a fan boy of his appearance. His conflicting attitudes is reflected in the title of his December 12 article, "Damnit, Ted Cruz's Beard Looks Tolerable Now." This conflict continues in the subtitle: "His greatest political opponent has always been his face. A few weeks off the razor has changed that."

Cruz needs to grow it at least a half inch longer for the full beard look.

I like his new beard.
I hope he represents Texas for a very long time as their Senator.
The Constitution says he can’t be President.

I like it the way it is. Some men don’t look good in a beard but he does.

Now if he could work on his voice.

I remember back when I was around 21 and decided to shave my beard but leave the mustache.

I then learned how non observant most people are. Most people said I looked different but didn’t know why and some asked if I grew a mustache - like I could grow one overnight or something. A lot of people didn’t notice anything but in fairness; they might have simply chosen to not say anything.

A handful noticed right off the bat I had simply shaved off the shortish 1” to 1.5” beard.

Not everyone looks good in a beard; take my sister for example. Seriously though; if it isn’t kept trimmed right it can look terrible. It’s also a good way to make a round pudgy face look thinner if the beard is trimmed right.

To me, growing a beard is often an intentional slap in the face to radical feminists. I’m guessing a lot in MGTOW are doing it for that reason.

The result is that beards are now “in”.

He should keep that, looks strong. Must be the defined jawline.

It looks good and he should keep it at that length.

Many feminazis have beards.

Ted has a regrettable chin and jaw line. The beard helps a lot. He should absolutely keep the beard. His smile is not that great either. And the beard helps hide that as well. He is not so much ugly as he is goofy looking from the side. Or when he smiles. Now if you could give him a lower, deeper voice, the transition will be complete. And women may vote for him.

Behind the beard he still looks just like Ted Cruz. Hairline, eyebrows, mouth, expression. He is still the big, self-loving fake. Only more so.

My mother hated a beard.

Years ago, my older brother had grown one. Mama nagged him to shave it off.

His wife had a baby and we went to visit. We were there several hours. On the drive home, all of a sudden Mama exclaimed: “He shaved his beard!” It had taken her that long to notice.

One of my sons has a beard, off and on. Any given day I can’t tell you if he has one or not.

Had to look up the meaning of MGTOW.

A transitioning born female who works at one of our town’s two grocery stores grew a beard first thing. Now, SHE has cut off her boobs and who knows what’s next. Still has a high pitched feminine voice and looks for all the world female but with a beard and ugly ill fitting clothes.

Lol That’s right. Michele O is one, too.

They should step up and admit it. The Libs would love them more for it.
