That's right...and that's why it was a fatal mistake for desperate Donald to go Anita Hill on Cruz.

The article points out that Rubio's favorables plummetted, and that's because he tried to lie about Ted--- people aren't dumb... they know when someone's lying.

Okay, I get the Carson likability. I even understand why Cruz can be a little hard to take, though with the firming up on his immigration position he has become my first choice, with the Trump/Cruz ticket my second choice.

But I just can’t understand at all the concept of Rubio’s “likability”. He’s a conniving little (pro-amnesty) twerp, as far as I can see.

Rubio? Likeability?

One look at him and I knew he wasn’t someone from whom I’d buy a used car.

Okay, so Cruz has the highest favorable rating among Republicans, but how many peopl who normally don’t vote are registering so they can vote for Trump?

All these people like Rich Lowry calling Goldwater “ a rigid idealogue” are too young to have any idea of what Goldwater was like. I barely remember remember him myself and I was in junior high when he ran. Maybe he was an idealogue in the sense he wanted people to think, but he wasn’t rigid. And anyone who thinks Trump, George W. Bush or even Ronald Reagan had to run against the media,has no concept compared to what Goldwater dealt with, plus the eastern Republican establishment. http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=25973

It’s really tragic he stewed his brain in alcohol and lost his life’s companion late in his career and stumbled on in confusion, so that is how many younger people remember him.

>> Cruz is not known as a guy to whom people easily take a shine

Just until they get to know him.

It’s media spin that he’s not likeable.

What is this insanity about Ted Cruz not being likable, or being awkward? I attended one of his first Senate campaign events where 10 or more candidates spoke to a crowded Republican club event. I liked every candidate who spoke, but it was his name I remembered and who stuck with me afterward. The rest were lost in the crowd.

A little later, I was running for office in 2012 when Cruz was running for his senate seat. I heard him speak numerous times on the campaign trail. I also attended his events as a supporter. He’s very likable, witty, lighthearted and passionate by turns. And, he’s always brilliant. What more could we ask for in a candidate?

What more could we ask for in a president?

They need to also ask the respondents how important likeability is to them during this election. With the anger in this country, likability may be a low priority.

However, I agree, Cruz is the most likable of all the GOP candidates.
