Armageddon and usher in the Second Coming. You can take this to the bank, it is solid gold.

So, Think Cruz, Think

However, his dad......

Obviously not paying enough attention. just always assumed like Palin he would fade off into the sunset.....

Wishful thinking, obviously.......

That he's doing as well as he is in his bid for president flat out terrifies me.

Maybe the time has really come to flee the country.

Damned it all. Not ready.

he was also a religious extremist (just a faker was also possible). When my husband was born, he had a bunch of family in Europe. By the end of the war they had all been murdered in the Holocaust. As a result, I always sort of wonder, not if something bad could happen here, but when a potential leader might turn up. To me, Cruz is the most alarming candidate to come along since I've been watching.

On DU, it is also worth noting that, although Nazism was unquestionably an ultraconservative movement, early on "Socialist" was tucked into the party name to also draw in angry, worried people from the far left, who helped elect him initially.

Although all the personalities prone to extremism mercifully normally separate out into disagreeing minority groups, anyone who managed to unite the far right and the far left under a moral mandate, for perhaps 40% or more of the electorate right there, could be extremely dangerous.

Those pictures that always show Hitler ranting like a madman do the world a great disservice. He was also charismatic and charming.

Scary, scary, scary.

as the capital of Loony. We may yet succeed.

What a bunch of buffoons in those comments. Just.....yikes.

That is scary alone.

Just as this writer says people don't really understand Cruz - I would argue that this writer doesn't really understand Trump.

Trump is definitely more than just embarrassing. He is every bit as scary as Cruz.

Cruz may be a true believer, but Trump is a know-nothing proto-fascist.

Trump will do what will make him loved, Cruz will do what he envisions God has ordained him to accomplish.

Right now Trump is at his ego's best with crazed celebrity lovers cheering him on. He has no program, values or plan save aggrandizing himself. He will quickly be subsumed by the GOP and DINOs in Washington. Cruz on the other has shown he is listening to voices in his head, apparently placed there during childhood and will go his own way as he as done during his short career as Senator from Texas.
