Hey I support Trump. Cruz is my #2 choice and as a Trump supporter, THIS ARTICLE IS ABOUT A S LOW AS YOU CAN GO.

What a piece of garbage.

And most serial killers are very personable and friendly, that’s how they lure their victims.

Yeah, the guy who wrote the “hit piece” looks like a child molester to me.

What disgusting things he’s saying about another human being who really can’t help the way God made his smile. A new low.

I find it condescending when people talk to their audience as though they are ignorant. Cruz speaks to his audience as though he credits them to be rational beings.

I worry about that in the general if Cruz wins the nomination: he’s right on all the issues but about as good a campaign speaker and as telegenic as a flounder on ice.

As a Cruz supporter, I had to laugh at your description, because that's similar to what I thought when I first saw him on a Texas debate stage in 2012. To be honest, there were probably more times I "tuned him out" during the first stages of his campaign, than I listened to him.

What brought me back to his message? A townhall meeting where a guy got in his face about his "racist" attitude against illegals. The guy was pretty radical....but Cruz never got angry, treated the man with respect and listened to what the guy had to say. After the guy finished, Cruz thanked him for his opinion....then began telling him what he (Cruz) believed and why. You could see all the "air" come right out of the guy because Cruz wasn't attacking back......he was just "talking" to him one on one about their differences.

I liked that Cruz was strong enough in his convictions that he didn't have to pander in the face of aggression...so I started watching his campaign, researching his record and I eventually voted to send him to Washington

I think THAT CRUZ was the guy Iowan's met when he was explaining why he wouldn't support the ethanol mandate, which is a big reason he won so BIG in Iowa, even though the media likes to throw the "he got the religious vote" mantle on him.

I think we'll know how well he would or would not hold up against a Democrat after this nomination process. I expect to see the RINOS (and others) demonize him, beat him down, ridicule him, etc, similar to what that guy in the townhall tried to do. If the Cruz I like stays front and center, I think he'll take the Republican nomination and eventually SLAUGHTER the Socialists (aka Democrats) in the Presidential race.

But that's just my opinion...and it's worth as much as you paid for it

I agree. Let me tell you a little secret. Some years back I ran a little sideshow containing oddities and such. I was able to spin a yarn so wide and vast convincingly that I could get folks to believe that a stick in a box was indeed a 105 python from the forests of Borneo. That, that mermaid there was truly caught off the Turks and Cacaos and until recently, resided on the mantle of a bar. Blah, blah, blah.

Facial expressions, tone of voice and speaking with authority do go far.

Did anybody like Bob Dole?

Have they found any conservatives who hate Cruz? Or is it just RINOs like Dole, Boehner and Peter King?

And people still pretend this is about Cruz’ personality?

And the article's author has such a handsome, inviting smile, doesn't he? He looks like a serial killer.

I don’t know. But I bet it might have something to do with telling voters that they have a violation for not voting, and telling other campaign supporters that their candidate has dropped out and endorsed the weird expression guy.

Psychology Today? Aren’t they the same genius types who believe that gender is “fluid” and a child can just “choose” to be another gender- no harm, no foul?

Yeah, I think I’ll pass on their analysis of somebody’s facial expressions. *Sheeesh*

Yes. LOL! My late Mother-in-law used to say first impressions were usually best.

When I look at the good doctor...........well, God loves him.
