Here’s where video games help: Cruz suffers from a perception of rigidity. When asked a question, his responses are always airtight and measured, the mark of a former debate champion. Often these conversations seem stilted and rehearsed. Unlike a more gregarious politician like Sen. John McCain, Cruz doesn’t make unscripted jokes or pal around much.

Comparing Cruz to McStain is just laughable.

That's because he knows the target is on his forehead, and every single journalist and politician is aiming at it; he has absolutely no wiggle room for any quotable slip-up, real or perceived.
