For anyone who says that the "likability" factor is rarely applied to men, they haven't followed much of the news around Ted Cruz. My latest for @ArcDigi features a zinger from Twitter-less Neal Dewing.

The thing about Mitt is he will become a victim of what I wrote about here with Ben Sasse. #MAGA will hate him and others will say Mitt is "complicit" if he dares to support anything advanced by Trump.
