(47,501 posts)well educated, calculating, and an excellent speaker. This makes him more dangerous than people like Trump. He knows what he is doing and is very ambitious. I'm not sure he believes half the crap he says, but he will do anything to further his career.

(733 posts)Cruz and his father are members of sect that believes that America not just should be a theocracy, but that God has ordained that it will be a theocracy. They have named 7 areas of public life to be taken over by Christians. One of these is the government.
Cruz no doubt believes that his every move is ordained by God for him to take over the government. This enables him to ignore any criticism of his actions.
His rise in politics without a set back confirms his belief that he will suceed.
This is a very dangerous person.
