Donald Trump May Be Crazy, But Ted Cruz Is Far More Dangerous

Except for the doomed campaign of John Kasich, the GOP campaign has come down to Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. Donald Trump has grabbed the lion’s share of the public’s attention, but Ted Cruz has put together a very strong grassroots network of right-wing activists and religious fanatics that have helped him win in states where fundamentalist Christians have greater control over the Republican Party.

Trump is gaining the support of washed-up racist figures like David Duke who are desperate for media coverage, and Ted Cruz is happily playing the GOP’s reasonable and viable alternative to the unhinged rants of the New York billionaire....

Ted Cruz represents a well-financed and well-organized religious segment of the Republican party that is working to establish Christian Dominionism on our country. Trump cares about publicity and ego, but Cruz and his supporters have a much more insidious plan for America. His supporters include other radicals like Kevin Swanson who has called for the execution of Girl Scout leaders, as well as right-wing media grifters such as Glenn Beck.

Whether Donald Trump or Ted Cruz ends up being the Republican nominee, the GOP is faced with the culmination of decades of pandering to the least informed and most bigoted members of the American electorate. If we do not turn out in November and vote all the way down the ballot, these people will dictate our lives for the foreseeable future – and that should scare the hell out of us all.

1. Ted Cruz would do his best to build some kind of Christian Caliphate with him at the head of it.

I am not so sure he is THAT much more dangerous then Trump, just that for certain he would destroy the fabric of America. I think Dump would do this too, just not in the same way.

Either men step into the WH as POTUS, we are all fucked for life imo.

2. I'm afraid this is a case where there is no 'lesser of two evils'

Trump is an egomaniac with a dangerously inflated sense of self worth/importance but it's obvious his intellect is pretty stilted. I don't even want to think about the unlivable mess he'd create.

Cruz won't be happy with anything less than a Theocracy. Anyone who admits they listen to disembodied voices for guidance should be under supervision and medication.

3. Frightening that the Christian Fundamentalists join with the Mormons for their beloved Armageddon

4. ...

A big part of Sen. Ted Cruz’s appeal is that he’s not Donald Trump, the openly bigoted billionaire currently leading the Republican Party’s presidential race.

But the notion that a Cruz presidency would be more palatable to those concerned about Trump’s anti-Muslim stance came into doubt on Thursday, when Cruz unveiled his own team of national security advisers. It includes Frank Gaffney, a man described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as “one of America’s most notorious Islamophobes.”
