“wish Cruz would work on coming across as less polished. “

He should dumb down? He is genuine and that sets him apart from the usual “polished” blow-dried focused-grouped, thumb-pointing professional politicians.

“I do notice his delivery probably doesn’t help him.”

Acting too White? ;-)

I love Cruz but sometimes he does seem to be trying too hard to look presidential. I know he has it but his it isn't connecting with enough people.

I know you were being flip in your 'too white' remark but after some thought...that may be exactly it. Blacks often make fun of white people for being stiff and such, maybe that IS it?
