Any of the three of them will fuck us beyond repair. Especially if Republicans manage to hold onto the senate.
Donald Trump: A brilliant bullshit peddler/snake-oil salesman. A bully, a con-artist, and one of the biggest narcissists of all time. And an incredibly ignorant man who, once he gets outside of his Realtor/Businessman/Reality-show comfort zone is clueless. This is a guy who doesnt have a plan beyond becoming Numero Uno. And if he gets there, hell make it up as he goes along regardless of any consequences to Americans, every other human being on this planet, or the planet itself. He actually believes that old saying that "He who dies with the most toys, wins."
Ted Cruz: This is perhaps the most dangerous candidate and the biggest dick in the race. It seems that he really believes in carpet bombing all the THEMS, even though he has no idea what carpet bombing actually means. And given the evangelistic dogma that he spews, he probably believes that hes the Chosen One. Who knows? Does he want to lead America to some imagined greatness of the past? Or does he believe Jesus is coming back on a white horse to lead real Christians into some mushroom-induced fantasy world? Either way, Cruz is one mean-spirited prick that really needs to go away.
Marco Rubio: A lightweight that too many think is a mid-weight. (No one thinks he's a heavyweight.) This is the Tea Partys Manchurian Candidate who looks so innocent that no one would believe he could/would bite the heads off live chickens. This is a guy who is incredibly and obviously unfit for prime time. But go figure how the minds of Republican voters work. Rubios backers and handlers are certain they can control him if/when he wins. Weve seen backers/handlers in different eras that had the same pipe dream that We can control him. Take a look at the 20th Century to see how that worked out.
So here's the bottom line: No matter which of these three becomes the Republican nominee, we can't afford to lose. If the GOP holds the presidency and the senate, almost all of us can forget any semblance of sanity to rule this country (and perhaps far more) for the rest of our lives.
