Me too. I can't really explain it. I mean, I would vote for him if he wins the nomination but he's not my first choice any longer.
According to all I have been and am, Cruz on the surface is the perfect candidate to have garnered my enthusiastic support. But I am with you, he never connected with me which is a necessary element in consideration of the rest. Inexplicable, but it's there.
My sense is that to my inner self, Ted is a paper tiger, crafted to appeal to me specifically instead of there being something organic going on. And the truth is, Trump has to meet a much lower threshold of acceptance with me because he isn't built perfectly for me. Trump connects with me as Trump, and that wins the day for me in our situation.
And worse, Ted hasn't conducted himself where even if he wins the nomination I can warm up to him.
