13. If I had to make a choice

Trump is blustery, scheming and shrewd, but I don't think he is evil, just a horse's ass (sorry horse asses everywhere).

Cruz, however, is pure evil. He's a McCarthy type that would most likely harass and witch hunt every Democratic voter and office holder in the country. After seeing that "Voting Violation" mailing, it is clear that there is no low that he will not sink to. He'd run the government straight off of a cliff if his past actions are any indication of how much he hates Democracy.
