OMG- Listening to Ted Cruz's over the top speaking style

This is what I meant about many politicians being NPD. (Narcissistic personality disorder) I think its time for us to reflect on how did we end up with this system that seems to select for candidates with this horrible disorder.

I'm getting too damn old to have to do that again! I'm holding to my beliefs that none of his co-workers like him, and even the few Pubs I know hate him too. I HOPE that's enough of an indicator that he CAN'T WIN!

Ted Cruz saying "This is a turning point" is scaring the shit out of me.
Cruz is more dangerous than Trump, you know. Trump will at least fracture the GOP. Think of all the religious zealots and scumbag lobbyists coalescing around that creep. Oh god. And he does surprisingly well against Hillary. It had better be Bernie. If it's Cruz vs. Hillary, this country might turn into a theocratic 3rd world shit hole, and all the other countries are gonna shun us just to avoid talking to Ted Cruz.

Cruz could never beat Bernie in the GE. Aaaaand...his wife works for GOLDMAN SACHS!
