racist. I bet it is a political spectrum thing. If you are a Republican conservative Trumps policies are at times Liberal. Like slowing trade or putting a tax on Chinese imports. So to a Conservative Trump is scarier that Ted Cruz. Cruz toes the line on Republican dogma and builds on it. Like destroying the IRS. And he is a narcissistic sociopath. Liberals dislike him more I bet.

(2,978 posts)Cruz is much smarter and darker about his ambitions. Trump is overtly belligerent.
Cruz would be even scarier if he were even a smidgen more likable, like Mike Huckabee (who isn't as scary but has some social skills). Thank heavens all of his colleagues find him odious. But he still seems Handmaid's Tale-worthy--a lot more dangerous than Trump, and that's saying something.

Cruz actually thinks he's something like the Second Coming.

(10,362 posts)How do you judge the true beliefs of a guy who talks out his ass nonstop 24/7? It looks like he makes up half the shit he says on the fly and then clarifies later that he means something completely different. Many of his so-called conservative beliefs have changed er- I mean "evolved", ie political expediency.
Cruz is more dangerous to me because he's intelligent. That NYC gaffe was the first big mistake I've seen him make. He's normally disciplined, and I hate facing a disciplined opponent with long-standing right-wing values.

(166 posts)...he cannot be negotiated with. He tried to shut down the government with his Green Eggs & Ham recitals. He advocates for religious rule. Nothing is scarier than him.
