He's not Jack in Lord of the Flies. He's Jack's publicist.

(43,189 posts)Of course, Cruz is a notorious asshole, even with his own party, and that might be his own undoing.
I'm not sweating facing off against Cruz at this point. I'd rather that than have to deal with more obnoxious Trump antics.

Ted Cruz is dangerous. and hes smarter than Trump.. My poison is Ted Cruz by a long shot..
Tommy_Carcetti
(43,189 posts)His laughable shutdown stunt is proof of that.
He's a lot of bark, but I question his bite.
busterbrown
(8,515 posts)this dangerous creep will gain a lot of support from Trumps army if he continues to gain support..Trumps supporters are basically White racists/gunners who will at the drop of a dime switch to Cruz if they feel he has a better chance of destroying anything progressive in our country.. Why, because Trumps supporters are just dumb gunners..

(131,061 posts)Imo, and that of others of more stature, he is NOT eligible to serve as President. This will HAVE to go to the Supreme Court, so more excitement for all of us, especially we attorneys.

At least Trump was for gay rights and is soft on reproductive rights.
Cruz, Rubio are HARD RIGHT on these issues.
If there has to be a Republican president, I'd much rather it be Trump. I still think he's more socially liberal.
And should he win the nomination, we'll see a hard move to the Left.

(8,515 posts)were sitting Senators or held any political strength . Yea hes disliked by the Party.. But watch how they flock to him now that he has won..
Ah, Cruz was called the winner.. Watch how he gathers support from the Republican traditionalists.
The Fucking media, MSNBC has begun the courting of this insane man.. Not mentioning any of the obvious flaws of his candidacy.. Which you mentioned.. Its Scary.

(13,429 posts)If he can win the Repub nomination, our nominee will win 40+ states in November and probably control both houses of Congress. The Tea Party, the evangelicals and the hard cord conservatives will see their dream candidate go down in flames and it will be spectacular.

If these groups dont have a huge motivation to flood the polls in Nov.. We will be in a bit of trouble.
elias49
(4,259 posts)He pretty clearly supports torture: in a recent ad, as he goes on and on about how he'll destroy ISIS and if any are capred on the battlefield he'll send them to Guantanamo and '..we'll find out EVERYTHING THEY KNOW..'
It may turn out to be Rubio v Sanity
