Ted Cruz's father will campaign for him in Minnesota.

"Caucus for Cruz Event with Pastor Rafael Cruz in Bloomington, Minnesota on Saturday, February 27, 2016 Saturday at 3 PM Cowboy Jacks."

Rafael Cruz says nutty things:


“We need to send Barack Obama back to Chicago. I’d like to send him back to Kenya, back to Indonesia.” He went on to say, “We have to unmask this man. This is a man that seeks to destroy all concept of God. And I will tell you what, this is classical Marxist philosophy. Karl Marx very clearly said Marxism requires that we destroy God because government must become God.”

I used to regard the nutty things Pastor Rafael Cruz says as irrelevant. Anyone can have a nutty relative. But with Pastor Rafael Cruz doing campaign events for his son, his nuttiness is relevant.

If I could, I would, but unfortunately, the law won't let me.

I don't really care where they're sent, as long as it's away from the American people.

Captain Jack Aubrey got wrecked there in one of the Patrick O'Brian novels.

About as far away as it's possible to get. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerguelen_Islands

His candidacy has brought forward reports from people who have known him. He's a religious extremist too. Still seems likely that is a manifestation of a personality disorder, though.
