40. Cruz is better

Trump doesn't give any indication that he even understands the basic tenets of a republican form of government. Cruz understands the Constitution. You may not agree with an interpretation he has, but he respects it. Trump will ignore it.

In the last two days he's said the following

If the Speaker Of The House doesn't get along with him, the Speaker will have to pay a big price.

If he orders the generals to commit war crimes, you bet they'd do it because he told them to.

Yes, Trump is much worse than Cruz.
