People DO have instinctual reactions to other people, and it’s very difficult to set them aside when they’re strong.
I had a flash of something the night Cruz announced, which I’ve tried to discount because I appreciated his intellect and conservatism. But at one point, I saw the same kind of self-congratulation and smugness that we used to see in John Edwards.
I’m not in any way suggesting that Cruz is morally like Edwards turned out to be; but I just had a feeling that he’s extremely ‘satisfied’ with himself in a way that puts me off. I can’t even come up with a word that precisely fits; it’s not exactly self congratulation or smugness, but almost a sense of, ‘Damn, I’m good!’
Do you remember how Edwards always used to be stroking his own face?
(And no, I don’t have that kind of feeling about Trump; he’s just a bit of a dork in some ways.)

You and I are on the same page.
I remember some journalist (can’t remember who) wrote some article about Trump and said she liked his style because he wasn’t adverse to making ugly faces.
I really had to laugh hard at that one. My spidey sense does not get the bad vibes from Trump. Probably because he doesn’t seem to hide how he really feels.
