From The Hill.com:”Cruz looking for likability”
His tense relationship with GOP leaders and fellow senators also means that there are not many Republicans rushing to testify to Cruz’s warmth and charm.
“Part of his problem is not being likable to voters, but another part of it is not being likable enough to the people [within the party establishment] whose help you need to get a campaign off the ground,” said GOP consultant Dan Judy. “He is not well-liked by those people. A lot of those people like some Democratic senators more than they like him.”
