I'd happily rectify that for him... :boxing:

There are solid scientific reasons why people want to punch Felito in the face. :boxing:

Why you may not like Ted Cruz's face, according to science
Josh Hafner USA TODAY

Ted Cruz pitches himself as an overcomer, an underdog, an outsider who beats the odds. While the Republic candidate has won four states in this nomination race so far, a neurologist says he still faces a big obstacle with voters: his own face. In an interview with Quartz, George Washington University's Richard E. Cytowic said the unusual movements of Cruz's face may make him seem less sincere to the human brain than other candidates.

"The normal way a face moves is what's called the Duchenne smile, named after the 19th century French neurologist. So the mouth goes up, the eyes narrow and the eyes crinkle at the outside, forming crows feet," said Cytowic, a professor of neurology. "Cruz doesn't give a Duchenne smile. His mouth goes in a tight line across or else it curves down in an anti-Duchenne smile. So he doesn't come across as sincere at all."

That doesn't mean Cruz is actually less sincere than, say, the Duchenne-smiling Trump or Rubio, Quartz notes. It is completely normal to perceive him that way, according to Cytowic, perhaps making Cruz's political success all the more noteworthy. Cruz also makes jabbing motions and other unusual body motions while speaking, Cytowic said, which can feed negatively into the split-second judgments the brain makes when analyzing anyone, including candidates. That's because when the brain makes choices, he said, it seeks to simplify the decision-making process.

In doing so, familiar or pleasing physical attributes like the Duchenne smile can actually do more to sway a voter's preference for a candidate than his or her stated policies. So while many voters may think they choose their candidates based solely on rational factors like policy, Cytowic said, that's unfortunately not the case.

He's even harder to look at with his ill-kept facial hair. Trim it up and apply a generous amount of Grecian.

In all fairness, Ted Cruz's personality matches his face.

I'm just thinking of actors who looked like jerks but were really great folks. Larry Linville, for example, had the perfect looks for playing Frank Burns on M*A*S*H. But, from the sounds of it, he was just a wonderful caring person in real life. Ted Cruz is no Larry Linville.

As an actor, Linville used his body, facial expressions, and voice to show Frank Burns’s sanctimonious cowardice.

Cruz isn’t acting.

On that photo of him by the wall, he just looks like somebody's dad trying, for the first time, to do the Macarena.

He's wearing a literal brown shirt, the photo looks squished, he's pointing at who knows what ("Oh, boy! Burger King!"), and he looks fat and out of shape. And the GOP Senate account posted it. Wow.

He is the very definition of an elite. I think his makeover is an attempt to make him look like just one of the unwashed normal masses.
There's a lot of things that need to change. One specifically? Police brutality.
