“There is something about Cruz that makes my skin crawl ...”
Smart people have that affect on some people.
Last fall I was talking with two of my very well paid libertarian leaning, low information colleagues about Cruz vs other candidates. They both said that Cruz creeped them out, like he was a snake.... one said he was like a car salesman too. Another colleague who is extremely religious said he thought Cruz was like a televangelist...he was planning to vote for Ben Carson at the time.
These three people were from 3 different states. Cruz doesn’t seem like a likeable guy to me and lots of other people.
