How much damage does such a president do? There is little historical comparison of someone willing to go through the hell of campaigning for 18 months without a real desire to govern.

Compare that potential damage to that which someone like Cruz (who really does want to be president for all the wrong reasons) would intentionally inflict on the US and the world.
