12. Trump is a narcissitic egomaniac whose espoused a proto-fascist ideology.

Cruz is an ultra-conservative with theocratic underpinnings.

I'd say it's a pick your poison situation but for the fact that Cruz has burned so many bridges with his own party I doubt he'd see a whole lot of cooperation from Congress even if it remains solidly in GOP hands. So I forsee a lot of whining and crying from Slappy the Dummy if God forbid the man gets elected but not a whole lot of progress. Hopefully the economy wouldn't be too wrecked beyond repair so that four years later, the Democratic candidate is welcomed back to the White House and gets to the business of fixing a Republican's mess. Again.

With Trump, he's got so little knowledge and/or respect for the civic and political process and so much self-glorification, I doubt he'll spend much time at all trying to get along with Congress--he'll just try to bend his way--whatever it is--separation of powers be damned. If he's not impeached and removed and agrees to be removed, it will be a God-awful clusterfuck like this country has never seen before. He's a very scary guy who's completely inept but has no awareness that he's so inept....which makes him all the more scarier.
