Trump might be crazy but Cruz seems even crazier , and what makes him sick is that he is pandering more to the religious right or evangelicals.
It's pretty nauseating and insulting.
Cruz is super sneaky and should be trusted even less than Trump
From the article:
Trump's other gift — the one that gets less attention but is perhaps more important — is his complete lack of shame. It's easy to underestimate how important shame is in American politics. But shame is our most powerful restraint on politicians who would find success through demagoguery. Most people feel shame when they're exposed as liars, when they're seen as uninformed, when their behavior is thought cruel, when respected figures in their party condemn their actions, when experts dismiss their proposals, when they are mocked and booed and protested.
Show me a politician over your life time who has restrained their behavior because of shame. Show me a politician who felt shamed by lying.
He didn't have sex with that woman, Ms Lewinsky (Bill Clinton). It's a vast right wing conspiracy and she's not some stand by your man woman (Hillary Clinton). If you like your plan you can keep it. If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor (Barack Obama). Walker is grabbing our hair and pulling us back (Debbie Wasserman-Schultz). Republicans want you to die quickly (Alan Grayson). There's not a smigeon of corruption (Barack Obama). She ran from sniper fire in Bosnia (Hillary Clinton). Romney hasn't paid taxes in 10 years (Harry Reid). When we left the WH we were broke (Hillary Clinton)................I could go on.
There is no shame in politics. Even when the video (that inevitably exists) proves the lies, they lie about lying.
Can Trump do any worse in the next four years than this administration has done? Everyone considering him needs to decide that for themselves. But the premise of the article will not be a deciding factor on my part.
It would be fine if people could realize he is a rich spoiled brat entertainer that is fun to listen too just to hear what he will say next. Unfortunately we have millions of people who actually believe what he says. It is like the medicine man back in the 1800s and it is scaring me.
