GQ says no to Ted Cruz

by **Bernie Sanders** on Mon Dec 28, 2015 10:04 pm

GQ magazine says Ted Cruz needs to rethink his clothing line.

Was Ted Cruz picked on when he was a kid and stuffed in a locker? Is this why he wears flannel shirts and new and not washed blue jeans with ill fitting leather jacket to look tough?

Read the articles. Basically, he is wearing them to show, he ain't no nerd. You got to look like the fashion suites you or you become the Emperor without clothes.

Yeah, I read it. It seems like a petty excuse because they don't like Cruz (I don't like him either). It seems silly to me to insist that simply because one makes a lot of money or runs for office they must wear silks and powdered wigs at all times. It's flannel-- it's functional, long-lasting, durable, and warm. Apparently you can't wear it if you make >$100k a year.

It's a sad excuse for journalism.

Also, I've never associated flannel with "nerds."

What's wrong with powdered wigs? I think Ted Cruz who constantly likes to quote our founding fathers, should wear one. It sure would look better on him than that 50s Joseph McCarthy hair style

His clothes don't matter as he makes an ass of himself every time he opens his mouth.

Is it my imagination or are the Republican candidates extra douchie this time around?

that shirt is hideous.

It's the Clown Bus for sure. It's like an incredibly absurd movie about the worst of the worst running for President. Each candidate trying to outdo the other with more crazy batshit talking points.

Just wondering are those real buttons or the ones that snap on his shirt? The snaps are for nerds.

by **TA1LGUNN3R** on Tue Dec 29, 2015 12:15 am

I think it's only hideous because it's like three sizes too big. Cruz needs to work on his gains if he wants to wear xxxl shirts.

I don't know if it's just me, and I'm not saying this to be mean to Cruz, but does he look like a woman to anyone else? I've always thought he looks like a mid-op transsexual. I think it's a combination of the extremely high cheekbones, thin lips, and no jaw line (the way the fat has collected in a perfect sphere around the base of his head make his neck and head basically look like a single unit). He also has this very flush skin tone that makes him appear to be wearing make-up.

It's actually not very noticeable if he has a serious expression on his face. Then he looks almost completely male. But when he smiles it's like he suddenly changes sex.

he mostly looks like

here it appears as though

when he was younger

they appear to be snaps, bernie.

GQ is a men's style and fashion magazine dude. If they don't like his style, they ain't exactly betraying their raison d'etre.

Ted Cruz being born in Canada, doesn't that make him ineligible to become President of the United States? I know he renounced his Canadian citizenship recently.

That shirt screams "Republican Base." (Which may in fact be hideous, but it's that base that votes in the primaries and caucuses.)

If they had kept it to the fashion, I would agree. But adding in their own political agenda, and the bits about how Cruz's old roommate and father means they wanted to talk about more than just his fashion sense.

The GQ article mentions neither of those, dude.
