Donald Trump May Be Crazy, But Ted Cruz Is Far More Dangerous [View all]

Except for the doomed campaign of John Kasich, the GOP campaign has come down to Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. Donald Trump has grabbed the lion’s share of the public’s attention, but Ted Cruz has put together a very strong grassroots network of right-wing activists and religious fanatics that have helped him win in states where fundamentalist Christians have greater control over the Republican Party.
Trump is gaining the support of washed-up racist figures like David Duke who are desperate for media coverage, and Ted Cruz is happily playing the GOP’s reasonable and viable alternative to the unhinged rants of the New York billionaire....
Ted Cruz represents a well-financed and well-organized religious segment of the Republican party that is working to establish Christian Dominionism on our country. Trump cares about publicity and ego, but Cruz and his supporters have a much more insidious plan for America. His supporters include other radicals like Kevin Swanson who has called for the execution of Girl Scout leaders, as well as right-wing media grifters such as Glenn Beck.
Whether Donald Trump or Ted Cruz ends up being the Republican nominee, the GOP is faced with the culmination of decades of pandering to the least informed and most bigoted members of the American electorate. If we do not turn out in November and vote all the way down the ballot, these people will dictate our lives for the foreseeable future – and that should scare the hell out of us all.
