Cruz is much worse than Trump IMO.

Are you predicting that if Sanders wins the nomination, he will then lose to Cruz in the general election?

If so, being that DNC is opposed to a Sanders candidacy and the RNC sure would like to politically destroy Cruz, what are the odds.

A Trump Presidency would be the same as a Cruz Presidency...and Congress would be social engineering their way into baggerdom. Trump represents a dangerous threat to America that is invisible because people seem to only to remark upon how bad Cruz is.
Cruz is awful but at least he is unelectable. Sanders may not survive a battle with Trump.

If you notice both Sanders and Trump are big on generalities but woefully weak on details.
Trump is savvy but I believe he is stupid enough to really believe in some of his own bullshit, like the wall and birtherism. He may however destroy Obamacare since that is relatively an easy thing to do in comparison to, say. the mass deportation of 11.5 million people.

I think you're absolutely wrong about that, and in fact, the only way I can envision Trump or Cruz winning is if they go up against Hillary. Have you seen the hypothetical matchups? It no longer seems like Hillary is even close to a shoe-in if she wins the nomination, and considering all the disgust with her (some justified and some not), it's not hard to imagine her losing to some Republican maniac. This is the U.S., after all.

Time to wake this thread up, Cruz has been snoozing too long here.
And Cruz as always a scholar and a gentleman.

Titled "Conservatives Anonymous," the Cruz spot is set in a group therapy session, as a circle of men and women discuss their disappointment in having supported the Florida senator given his subsequent work on an immigration reform bill one calls "amnesty."

"Maybe you should vote for more than just a pretty face next time," softcore porn veteran Amy Lindsay tells the group before another man appears at the door in a Rubio shirt asking, "You guys have room for one more?"

This guy is a bigger fuck-up than I expected.

As someone who is not batshit crazy and therefore must choose from the Curz/Trump side of the aisle I found it distasteful that Cruz said the body of god and got all holy roller in Iowa. It was pandering. Of course Trump did his share of pandering on the ethanol subsidies but together they don't even come close to the queen of pandering, Hillary Cankles Cackles.

Oh and those calling Trump dangerous........get real. Over the last 40 years his businesses have provided jobs to tens of thousands of Americans. What the hell has uncle Bernie ever done for anyone? All he does is piss and moan about how unfair the world is? Hey Bernie it's called life..........shit or get off the pot!

If Bernie gets the Dem nomination it will be Reagan Mondale 1984 all over again with Bernie playing the role of Mondale and Trump playing the part of Reagan.
