Word on the street is that the more people see of Ted Cruz, the less they like him.
Anecdotal evidence and polling, at least, seem to bear this out.
It’s interesting that Trump won by not showing up. Seems he’s the in the same category.
I watched the Trump event, but saw Cruz recaps. I like Cruz, and find him to be the most conservative candidate. What I saw was a guy trying to use irony and humor to make his points... and not being particularly successful at it. For example, his “every question is a beat up Ted Cruz question” was, I am convinced, his attempt to set up the punch line, “I may just have to leave the debate” (to imitate Trump). However, it failed miserably and came across as whining at the moderators.
It is the first time that he came across to me as the geeky high-school kid who no one likes... which is apparently the way he is oft perceived. It also makes me re-question how electable he is, even as I find him the most conservative.
Decisions, decisions...
I don’t say this with any glee but the more I see of Ted Cruz the less I like. It started out when he began to vote sideways on TPA and the Corker Bill. Then his weak excuses for why he voted directly opposite of what he espouses verbally. Then he “forgot” to disclose a couple of wall street loans. The final straw for me was when Cruz allowed himself to get ambushed by Glenn Beck for an onstage swearing in holding a compass. He’s not the guy folks.
