Related: About this forumOK, I was wrong: Trump *is* worse than Cruz
I thought Cruz' sheer ickiness, and radical ideology, made him the worse man, and candidate, and potential President. But I was wrong. Cruz has a conscience--he actually came out of the Repub convention with a bit of honor. And whatever his beliefs, I think there are things he simply wouldn't do. There is nothing Trump would not do. Nothing.

(129,441 posts)Trump has been at this a long long long long long long time. Since back around the time when Cruz was born. He's nothing but a blob of rot. Cruz will be there in another 30 years of he keeps going like he has.

(20,214 posts)But now that we know Trump is in bed with the Russians (and the Chinese and the Saudis) I find him much more of a threat.
Oh, and he wants to use nuclear weapons.

Trump consciously works at his assholiness.
