Just as St. Paul was struck blind on the road to Damascus, so has the Republican party been struck blind and brain-dead on the road to Cleveland. Apparently there campaign slogan will be "vote for Cruz – he's not quite as bad as Trump ".
Actually, he is much worse. He is not as vulgar or obviously insulting to practically everybody but he is deplorable in all respects. He is a sort of megalomaniacal tent preacher, lacking only a snake around the neck to complete the picture. He strides around the stage giving apocalyptical visions of the United States that appear to come right out of the book of Revelation. None are remotely close to the truth. We have the best economy in the world and have come out of the recession faster then any of the OECD countries. Our military is unmatched in strength. We have created 14 million jobs in the last eight years. The value of our equity market has nearly doubled since the George W. Bush debacle.
Cruise offers nothing but stupid ideas to solve an imaginary problem. He has a preposterous tax plan that would do nothing but cause deficits and flow more wealth to the top if passed. He is going to eliminate the IRS and the EPA. He wants to go back to the gold standard. He is going to carpet bomb Syria thereby massacring its citizenry. In the Senate he was nothing but an obstructionist. Other than Mike Lee, who is part of the Cruz/Lee tweedlede and Tweedledum act, no senator can stand him.
He clearly has some sort of messianic complex. Why the Republican Party would wish this person to slither into the White House is unfathomable.
One can only hope the Democrats have done their background research carefully, including research into the religious figures, including his father who campaigns for him, to demonstrate their vituperate messages.
