Cruz vs, Trump?

If you think about it (keeping in mind the sorry state of Repub. party)
This is the dream team for a recipe of utter destruction for the Repub. party...Yea they will keep the millions of hateful, xenophobic , homophobic, misogynistic, etc. in their corner, but.......

If we think the Republican Primary battle is tearing apart the Republicans before last night, one has to think that these 2 idiots, will have to amp up their hateful rhetoric to a Spinal Tap 12..during the next 3 months

All of which probably will make for very effective political ads come the general election..and rather inexpensive!... Just the clips of these two idiots barking hateful, inane insults at each other, trying to out do hateful statement after hateful statement.. hopefully will unite the left, middle, and perhaps even some shameful republicans to form a nucleus which will give us the White House and perhaps even the Senate for
2017.

Don’t think I’m foolish enough not to understand that things can change dramatically, on a drop of a dime..But I’m hopeful...and scared shitless of these two assholes..

...because in the off chance Cruz should squeak out a victory, with a GOP-controlled congress behind him, this country will go so far right so fast our heads will be spinning.

It's been "TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP!!!" now for so long that nobody's paid much attention to the booger-eating, Canadian theocrat sneaking up from the rear.

The rumblings have been out there, that this is not beyond the realm of possibilities. Now THAT would be divine chaos.

and do their best to wrestle back some control over their party and their candidates.

Forget any more debates. I think they've reached the point where they should pick their candidate via a 'gladiator' like competition between Cruz and Trump.

Every time one of them breaks step, they get pounced on. And that lack of conscience and character carries over to their electorate. For some reason, being an ignorant bully is seen as a good thing, in the GOP.

During his last SOTU, President Obama even mentioned members of the 'opposition' approaching him, saying that while they might agree with him on some issues, they are afraid to say so for fear of retribution.

This is not good no matter what, Trump is in your face out of the closet and he is terrible and scary both him and his supporters, but we must beware of Cruz, who is worse and way more scary. His evil diabolical side is slightly hidden but to his supporters completely hidden. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing, the most dangerous type there is. He must never be President never.

His Dominianist thing... Scares the shit out of me..His father is an ordained Domionanist Minister..

Any reason in their minds is a good reason to cleanse the earth of non-believers.. Then we’ll be rewarded with a visit from Jesus..”We’ll” meaning those of us left on the planet who do not meet the requirements for an ascension ticket.. A Ticket Ride...
