With Trump, he wont go as far with his religious extremist views than Cruz.

Always have been more scared of him than Trump because he is even meaner and much smarter.

(115,732 posts)So earlier this evening I stopped at a local burger joint for a quick supper. They had a TV news program on with the sound off, and a chyron came up that said "TRUMP CALLS CRUZ A MANIAC." Old guy at the next table harrumphs, "Pot's callin' the kettle black."
I don't think either of them is actually insane in the medical sense of suffering from a psychosis, although a psychiatrist might diagnose various personality disorders. Trump, at least, is spectacularly narcissistic, and Cruz is said to be just a mean bastard. Both of them would be disastrous presidents - Trump, because he's a loose cannon who doesn't think he has to answer to anybody, and Cruz because he is a religious fanatic and a mean bastard. I can't really decide which one scares me more.

(4,221 posts)propaganda his whole life, but in their charismatic, prophesying churches, they took the teaching of Christian Dominionism even further - telling Ted about prophesies that God planned to use Ted to bring his Kingdom to earth, and Teddy would rule one of the Seven Cultural Mountains. That is a mindjob, for sure.
Christian Dominionists are a heretical brand of fundamentalist/literalist Christians that believe that Christians must infiltrate and take over in seven major cultural areas of modern western life in order to set up God's Kingdom on Earth: business, government, media, arts, entertainment and sports, education, the family and religion.
The guy was groomed to be a despot for God.
He is more dangerous than Trump by a factor of 100.

(37,160 posts)...for the other. Either way, Cruz gains power.
The Donald has no driving vision of The Way Things Ougt To Be beyond plastering his name everywhere and making hyoooj piles of money. And he has no infrastructure to back him up.
Cruz does have those things, so him gaining more power, either as president or as the guy the president owes big favors to, is very bad news for the country.
