The biggest danger to the world is the Republican Party

ISIS, can blow up stuff everywhere and perhaps kill thousands. Boco Haram and other crazies like them can kidnap, rape, and kill thousands. The Taliban are on the rise again in full insanity mode, and they too can kill thousands..

But here's the thing. The Republican Party is choosing sides between Trump and Cruz. One of them will be the GOP nominee. Can he beat Bernie or Hillary? Given this election season, who knows. Far too many American voters have bought the fear being sold by Trump/Cruz and there's no telling if they're scared enough to vote one of those crazies into office.

So no matter what the world's "terrorists" are up to, and no matter how many thousands they kill, I'm far more afraid of a "President Trump," or a "President Cruz."

Think or either one of them with the full power of the American military machine and their finger on "the button." Would they launch nukes at North Korea or Iran if they felt like it? It's possible. Would they decide that American Muslims need to be "rounded up?" It's possible. And the body count of a Trump or Cruz regime could be in the millions. It's possible.

Stop worrying about ISIS, et al. Do everything possible to make sure that Trump or Cruz never get anywhere near the White House.

being driven into a fearful panic by Trump, Cruz, and, while they remain silent for the most part, the rest of the Republican Party.

Wake. The. Fuck. UP.

This is no joke.

And why are you putting it in this thread? And if it's that important, start your own thread on it rather than hijacking this thread.

And one more thing. Hijacking a thread sucks a lot.
