This is the reason that people develop a “gut” feeling about a person. It’s often right on the money, too.
My initial reaction to Cruz was that I really liked what I saw and heard.
I must lack a sensitive gut since I totally missed missed the flaws in the man and had no negative gut reaction at all.
I may be totally wrong but I think women are just better at the gut reaction game...
I think if I had actually met Cruz in person and chatted a while I would have had a negative gut reaction on the spot...it's hard to judge character over the TV...especially if the subject is a good actor.
