Yea, I know....wishful thinking. BUT, I think it will do one thing...change the minds of a lot of Iowans who were going to vote for him. The speculation of Trump that Cruz isn't legally able to serve as president, coupled with this possible criminal offense should put the final nails in his coffin.

The guy was a true convert and couldn't stop telling us about it.

And even he wasn't as scary as Dominionist Cruz.

Of course they won't charge him, but if they did, the penalties are not insignificant:

Class D Felony: Maximum prison term not to exceed 5 years; may be deferred or suspended unless forcible felony; fine of at least $750 but no more than $7,500. Serious Misdemeanor: Maximum jail term not to exceed 1 year; mandatory fine of at least $315 but not more than $1,875.

All you read about with this guy on a personal level is that everyone - and I mean nearly EVERYONE - absolutely hates his freaking guts. Everyone from every point in his life, political or not. They despise him.

That says to me that someone like that has some antisocial tendencies. Couple that with extreme narcissism that was shoved into his head by his coo-coo-for-cocoa-puffs daddy and you've got someone who honestly, truly believes he's smarter and better than everyone else.

That's how something like this happens. He's a dangerous nutcase who is, unfortunately, intelligent enough to be a threat to all of us.

Amazing to watch Chris Wallace calling him out on his lies concerning Obamacare..

but throughout the clip he never stopped lying for a second..

And if this creep gains national power? I don’t believe in heaven or hell, but let me tell ya.
He will reek havoc on our country and perhaps the world.
