And Ted Cruz is real, honest evil.

Trump is just a rich guy with a big ego. Embarrassing, but not set on turning us into a theocratic monarchy with him as King.

Much more dangerous . . . this is the reason he is not interested in cooperating with others: God has picked him to be president, so whatever he does is okay . . .typical messiah complex.

Scalia was a theocrat also, believed in divine right of kings was passed to the founding fathers.

Trump even with his huge ego, can with difficulty be contained. Nearly no one can take him seriously, other than his fellow travelers. Cruz OTOH is on a "mission from god", the rw zealots see him a some sort of second coming. That translates into kool-aid for all the benighted.

Trump came out in one debate and said that while he wasn't a fan of Planned Parenthood and abortions, they provide other crucial services for women and shouldn't be shut down. Cruz doesn't show that he cares for much other than the guns / religion / obamacare stuff.

but I think Cruz is scarier because he is a Dominionist true believer, and because of his time in the Senate he seems to have more "legitimacy" than Trump.

Two fascists taking different paths to ultimate power. One is a mean-spirited, avaricious narcissist; the other is a mean-spirited, messiah-complex befogged narcissist. Either one would destroy the country, they’d just go about it differently.

I do think in the end, Trump would listen to reason. He's bombastic, but not nuts. crudz on the other hand is a fanatic.

They are both pretty, despicable, vile, toxic waste dumps on their good days. Its like the who is worse hitler or stalin. They both suck in their own sad sick way.

They are both scum maybe the answer is its a tie.

...for 7 years for shoplifting. It went the Supreme Court where they let the guy out. The court said something like. "This is idiotic."

Maybe someone else knows the story?

Crump yeah that's it the Crump guy is the worst. They are both equally bad in different ways, both are really destructive. I think Trump really would put a lot of pressure on to build a wall for one thing and I don't know if it's to keep people out or in. Cruz might be completely insane, which sounds really bad, but I think he is insane enough to stir up a mutiny so there is that. Trump I don't think he would inspire enough people to get fed up enough to revolt against whatever he does to hurt the country.
