I really thought all the talk about Cruz being unlikeable was just sour grapes spin from his butt hurt Senate colleagues. We heard about his towering intellect and his command of the issues. And while he’s shown a certain talent for exploiting arcane delegate rules to lock up a bunch of votes, I’m shocked out how much he just doesn’t connect with people.

Really makes you wonder: Is this how Cruz "worked with" his fellow Senators in Congress? All along we had been fed the line he was hated because of the "principled" stands he took; maybe instead it was because he was just a jerk to his colleagues, and had never learned how to keep his composure when challenged.
