I have sat back and watched the Trump/Cruz wars on FR for MONTHS now, and have not chimed in until now. You’re right, body language and looks DO COUNT. I KNOW Cruz is whip-smart, I KNOW he has the Constitution memorized, I KNOW he is one of the most, if not THE most, conservative person in the race, but something about him just screams at me NO. The only way I can ‘visualize’ it, is everything about him just looks ‘droopy’ to me....does that make sense? His entire face looks like it’s about to melt into a wax puddle. Somebody up thread mentioned play-doh. Exactly. I really like what Trump is doing, but as the days progress, I’m not so sure he has the temperament for the job, which leaves me at a loss as to whom to support. I will continue to read FR, and watch what the candidates do. By the time my primary comes around (Washington State) it’s usually a done deal and my vote doesn’t count anyway. One thing I know for sure, I WON’T vote for Jeb, or Rubio. Just that simple.
To me, it isn’t even Cruz’s looks. It is his way about him. hard to explain, but there is something that really bugs me about him. Maybe it is a disingenuous look he has.
We are not alone. What people say sometimes can blind you to other things.
I have heard people call it “spidey sense”.
