I know it’s not the right way to judge a politician, but I just could never stand Ted Cruz. There’s some kind of “ick” factor for me.. he seems like some kind of southern Baptist preacher or smarmy snake oil salesman.

I feel bad about “judging a book by its cover”, which I know is wrong - but there is a practical side to why I was so against him in 2016 during the primaries:

I know a lot of other people will see the same “icky” thing I’m seeing - so I just can’t imagine him winning a Presidential election.

He seems like he makes a good Senator - or may even make a good as a SC Justice.

There are 3 Senatorial candidates on my local election ballot sample for Tuesday.

Ted Cruz is the only person on the GOP Ballot that will win.

I don’t know what dip stick the #ComDems will nominate, but they will lose.

There are a lot of things happening in the background to stop voter fraud.

His fellow senators feel the same way, but sometimes the icky outsider can raise concerns that the more accepted member of the club don't dare.
