He's not 'one of the guys' on the trail, but he also didn't seem to belong in the Ivy League - or even among politicos
The weather has finally cooled a bit, and that can only mean one thing: time for Ted Cruz to dump his ill-fitting suits and ties for his even iller-fitting collection of flannel shirts and leather jackets. The #Cruz Country Christmas Tour (in a private jet) is under way and headed to a town near you.
Why does the Texas senator lumberjack around America when the temperature drops? Is he trying to create synergy with the cover of his latest book?
That's possible, but the real reason Ted Cruz wears flannel shirts and leather jackets in the winter is because he wants nothing more than to be perceived as one of the guys. Not just because it could win him the White House, but because he's always been that kid in school that had no friends. The one whose parents made him insufferable by constantly telling him how much better he is than everyone else.
Cruz's father, Rafael, has been brainwashing his son since he was about four years old to believe he's "gifted above any man he knows" and "destined by God for greatness", the kinds of delusions that were guaranteed to get him stuffed in a locker by junior high.
Unfortunately, training to become Daddy's little messiah didn't leave Cruz time to develop even the slightest sense of style, and GQ has some stern fashion advice for him.
"In general, we're not exactly sure why presidential hopefuls think that oversized, awkward leather jackets will make them seem more, 'relatable to voters'," the website said on Tuesday.

LOL!
We can’t tell from the photo, but I would really doubt it.
Really? Cindy this is all you can find to write about ? So he dresses like most of the people I know and not a bunch of eletists. Get a life woman.
She looks pretty frumpy to me...
He is asking for people to vote for him not to sleep with him.So what if his leather jacket is not up to the writer’s standards.Has the writer taken a look at fashion plate Bernie Sanders lately?
Fashion-ignorant as we hicks may be, we still generally know enough to discount the opinions of someone like Cindy Casares (with or without her claws extended).
Mr. niteowl77
I like Cruz, but there's no denying he's a bit of a dork and more femme than many men are comfortable with.
It's just a fact.
I guess it's the price he paid for that brain.
But it's going to hurt his political career, for right or wrong.
Merry Christmas fellow Cruzader!
All dressed up for Christmas!
i’m shocked by Woods. And Angelina Jolet’s pop. would have sworn they were liberal at one time. well, it’s a good thing.
The great thing is Ted and anyone else with a brain don’t give a @#$@#$ about this rag.
And it’s GREAT to see their heads exploding in hatred and disgust that we wont put up another mushy candidate who will be the gentleman loser, to borrow another FReeper’s phrase.
Yup, we got new shirts, knit caps, a VFD mug, and a couple of /VFD pens from our county for Christmas.
Go Cruz and Trump, whoever makes the pinheads pop better....
Better than a sweater vest.
Good’un. Could you post the one from UK with the two lovelies behind the Queen of Fashion going up the steps? I could stare at the left hand side of that picture for hours!!
I’m all for that. But you are going to have to either purchase the domain from the owner or convince him that it is a good idea.
On the other hand I own takebackusa.com and would eagerly be willing to do something with that domain.
Merry Christmas, erod!
Good grief! Reading the Guardian is like reading Salon and Slate. Gossip and drivel. Not worth my time.
