here is one for every one to love! "Letter from Texas...." re Cruz

http://www.dallasobserver.com/news/letter-from-texas-listen-america-trump-is-just-embarrassing-cruz-is-scary-8095715

Jim Schutze is one of Dallas's best journalist.

Letter from Texas: Listen America, Trump Is Just Embarrassing. Cruz Is Scary.

Dear Republicans:

Let me get this straight. You want to take back Donald Trump. You want to take Trump off the table. But you want to give us Ted Cruz instead.

I know you’re not totally insane. Your problem is that many of you are not from Texas. You don’t really know Ted Cruz. Last week Sen. Lindsey Graham told CNN, “Ted and I are in the same party. Donald Trump is an interloper.”

Senator Graham, please listen to me. You and Donald Trump are from the same planet. Cruz is the interloper.

snip to the end, lots of good stuff in between!

The Ivy League took none of that away from him. He held it dear then and holds it dear now. It’s all right there in front of you, not a millimeter beneath the surface. His only bluff is that he shows you less than his full hand, not that he fakes having more.

An orange-faced, thin-skinned, narcissistic, blow-hard clown versus a truly scary, malevolent alien from the dark side. Oh, and before I forget, gee, thanks for the choice. But I gotta go with the clown. I have examined the clown pretty closely, too, and I think I can outrun him. The other guy, I’m not so sure.
