I know it seems shallow, but Ted Cruz is a very unattractive man. He has an ick factor to him that is kind of repulsive. And it isn't just that his politics are horrible. I can't imagine why any woman would have an affair with him.


Maybe Henry Kissinger was right when people couldn't figure out why Jill St. John (now married to Robert Wagner) would have dated him. He said that "Power is an aphrodisiac."

It's not just his features that make him unattractive, it's his manner. Most people with unconventional looks, if they have a genuine smile, or something genuine in their manner, you look right past their outward look and you like the person that they are.

Power might be an aphrodisiac, but for this toad I think you'd still need actual drugs. He's so repulsive that it's possible HIS campaign planted the story to make him seem sexually human.
