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?

The ‘too white’ comment was both flip and serious.

Sometimes we simply need a break.

Yeah, all (except Trump) are working very hard to appear presidential. Seems to be a ‘thing.’

Some really need to work at it and for some, it is a natural thing (Cruz, IMHO is a natural, he is not fake).

But. . .what can you do except—as Lindsey said—’drink more’
