and do not let individual politicians, particularly those who do not represent me, to affect me on such an emotional level.

Cruz, no matter how wrong or disagreeable, was democratically elected as a US Senator by the citizens of Texas. He has just as much as right to his opinions as any other citizen, and his senate votes count as much as the individual votes of liberals like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

Rather than focus on his purported creepiness, instead focus on opposing his polices and electing Democratic candidates. If you think Cruz is creepy now, I assure you that he'll appear much worse if the Republicans take control of the Senate.
